accordance with the method of selection indicated in the Data Sheet.
1.2 The consultants are invited to submit a Technical Proposal and a Financial Proposal, as specified in the Data
Sheet (the Proposal) for consulting services required for the Assignment named in the Data Sheet through
e-procurement platform. The Proposal will be the basis for contract negotiations and ultimately for a
signed contract with the selected Consultant.
1.3 The Assignment shall be implemented in accordance with the phasing indicated in the Data Sheet. When the
Assignment includes several phases, the performance of the consultant under each phase must be to the
client’s satisfaction before work begins on the next phase.
1.4 The Consultants must familiarize themselves with local conditions and take them into account in preparing
their Proposals. To obtain first-hand information on the Assignment and on the local conditions,
consultants are encouraged to pay a visit to the Client before submitting a Proposal, and to attend a pre-
proposal conference if one is specified in the Data Sheet. Attending the pre-proposal conference is optional.
The Consultant’s representative should contact the officials named in the Data Sheet to arrange for their
visit or to obtain additional information on the pre-proposal conference. Consultants should ensure that
these officials are advised of the visit in adequate time to allow them to make appropriate arrangements.

permits needed to carry out the services, and make available relevant project data and reports.
1.6 Please note that (i) the costs of preparing the proposal and of negotiating the contract, including a visit to
the Client, are not reimbursable as a direct cost of the Assignment; and (ii) the Client is not bound to accept

the Client’s interests paramount, without any consideration for future work, and strictly avoid conflicts
with other assignments or their own corporate interests. Consultants shall not be hired for any assignment
that would be in conflict with their prior or current obligations to other clients, or that may place them in a
position of not being able to carry out the assignment in the best interest of the Client.

forth below:
(a) A firm which has been engaged by the Client to provide goods or works for a project,
and any of their affiliates, shall be disqualified from providing consulting services for the
same project. Conversely, firms hired to provide consulting services for the preparation
or implementation of a project, and any of their affiliates, shall be disqualified from
subsequently providing goods or works or services related to the initial assignment (other
than a continuation of the firm’s earlier consulting services) for the same project.
(b) Consultants or any of their affiliates shall not be hired for any assignment which, by its
nature, may be in conflict with another assignment of the consultants.
1.7.2 As pointed out in para. 1.7.1 (a) above, consultants may be hired for downstream work, when continuity is
essential, in which case this possibility shall be indicated in the Data Sheet and the factors used for the
selection of the consultant should take the likelihood of continuation into account. It will be the exclusive
decision of the Client whether or not to have the downstream assignment carried out, and if it is carried out,
which consultant will be hired for the purpose.
(a) defines, for the purposes of this provision, the terms set forth below as follows:
(i) “corrupt practice” means the offering, giving, receiving, or soliciting of anything of value
to influence the action of a public official in the selection process or in contract
execution; and
(b) will reject a proposal for award if it determines that the firm recommended for award has engaged
in corrupt or fraudulent activities in competing for the contract in question;
(d) will declare a firm ineligible, either indefinitely or for a stated period of time, to be awarded GoK-
financed contract if it at any time determines that the firm has engaged in corrupt or fraudulent
practices in competing for, or in executing, a GoK-financed contract; and
(e) will have the right to require that, GoK to inspect consultant’s accounts and records relating to
the performance of the contract and to have them audited by auditors appointed by GoK.

evaluation.
5.1 From the time the proposals are opened to the time the contract is awarded, if any consultant wishes to
contact the Client on any matter related to its proposal, it should do so in writing at the address indicated in
the Data Sheet. Any effort by the firm to influence the Client in the Client’s proposal evaluation, proposal
comparison or contract award decisions may result in the rejection of the consultant’s proposal.
5.2 Evaluators of Technical Proposals shall have no access to the Financial Proposals until the technical
evaluation, including its approval by competent authority is obtained

evaluation criteria, sub-criteria (typically not more than three per criteria) and point system specified in the
Data Sheet. Each responsive proposal will be given a technical score (St). A proposal shall be rejected at
this stage if it does not respond to important aspects of the Terms of Reference or if it fails to achieve the
minimum technical score indicated in the Data Sheet.
5.4 After the evaluation of quality is completed, the Client shall notify those consultants whose proposals did
not meet the minimum qualifying mark or were considered non-responsive to the RFP and Terms of
Reference, indicating that their Financial Proposals will be returned unopened after completing the
selection process. The Client shall simultaneously notify the consultants that have secured the minimum
qualifying mark, indicating the date and time set for opening the Financial Proposals. The opening date
shall not be sooner than one week after the notification date. The notification may be intimated through the
e-procurement portal.
5.5 The Financial Proposals shall be opened publicly in the presence of the consultants’ representatives who
choose to attend. The name of the consultant, the quality scores, and the proposed prices shall be read aloud
and recorded when the Financial Proposals are opened. The Client shall prepare minutes of the public
opening.
5.6 The evaluation committee will determine whether the Financial Proposals are complete, (i.e., whether they
have costed all items of the corresponding Technical Proposals, if not, the Client will cost them and add
their cost to the initial price), correct any computational errors.
5.7 The lowest Financial Proposal (Fm) will be given a financial score (Sf) of 100 points. The financial scores
(Sf) of the other Financial Proposals will be computed as indicated in the Data Sheet. Proposals will be
ranked according to their combined technical (St) and financial (Sf) scores using the weights (T = the
weight given to the Technical Proposal; P = the weight given to the Financial Proposal; T + P = 1)
indicated in the Data Sheet: S St T % Sf P% . The Consultant achieving the highest
combined technical/ financial score will be invited for negotiations.
6.1 Negotiations will be held at the address indicated in the Data Sheet. The aim is to reach agreement on all
points and sign a contract.
6.2 Negotiations will include a discussion of the Technical Proposal, the proposed methodology (work plan),
staffing and any suggestions made by the firm to improve the Terms of Reference. The Client and
Consultant will then work out final Terms of Reference, staffing, and bar charts indicating activities, staff,
periods in the field and in the home office, staff-months, logistics, and reporting. The agreed work plan and
final Terms of Reference will then be incorporated in the “Description of Services” and form part of the
contract. Special attention will be paid to getting the most the Consultant can offer within the available
budget and to clearly defining the inputs required from the Client to ensure satisfactory implementation of
the Assignment.
6.3 Unless there are exceptional reasons, the financial negotiations will involve neither the remuneration rates for
staff (no breakdown of fees) nor other proposed unit rates.
6.4 Having selected the Consultant on the basis of, among other things, an evaluation of proposed key
professional staff, the Client expects to negotiate a contract on the basis of the experts named in the
Proposal. Before contract negotiations, the Client will require assurances that the experts will be actually
available. The Client will not consider substitutions during contract negotiations unless both parties agree
that undue delay in the selection process makes such substitution unavoidable or that such changes are
critical to meet the objectives of the assignment. If this is not the case and if it is established that key staff
was offered in the proposal without confirming their availability, the Consultant may be disqualified.
6.5 The negotiations will conclude with a review of the draft form of the contract. To complete negotiations
the Client and the Consultant will initial the agreed contract. If negotiations fail, the Client will invite the
firm whose proposal received the second highest score to negotiate a contract.
7. AWARD OF CONTRACT
7.1 The contract will be awarded following negotiations. After negotiations are completed, the Client will
promptly notify other consultants on the shortlist that they were unsuccessful.
7.2 The Consultant is expected to commence the Assignment on the date and at the location specified in the
Data Sheet.
8. CONFIDENTIALITY
8.1 Information relating to evaluation of proposals and recommendations concerning awards shall not be
disclosed to the consultants who submitted the proposals or to other persons not officially concerned with the
process, until the winning Consultant has been notified that it has been awarded the contract.

a) The Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD), Government of India has rolled “Smart City”
Mission and “AMRUT” missions.
b) One of the strategic components of the SCM is ‘Area-based Development (ABD)’ - developing
specific ‘areas’ within cities through renewal, redevelopment and green field development
strategies. In turn, these can be replicated and scaled up to the rest of the city over time. In order to
replicate the ABD to other ‘Areas’ of the Smart City substantial funding from other sources will be
required.
c) The 20 Lighthouse cities have broadly identified six financing sources for meeting their
implementation needs: mission grants, convergence with other missions, own source revenues,
public private partnerships, market borrowing and others (e.g. CSR funds). One less used internal
revenue source is Land. Land value appreciates due to regulatory changes and investments in public
goods infrastructure. Such increases in value can be captured by the Governments through various
Value Capture Financing tools. Such tools if implemented can generate substantial internal
resources for ULBs. In this connection, the MoUD in 2013 had got a Study done on land based
fiscal tools to generate additional fund resources. The report is available on the following link
http://jnnurm.nic.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Final-Report-LBFT_28Aug2014.pdf.
d) Also, the MoUD in Feb’ 2017, had prepared a Value Capture Finance Framework to help the State
Governments/ Cities in their endeavour to mobilize additional resources.
3. For each of the selected methods provide technical assistance to customize the VCF methods for
the State and its ULBs. This will include preparation of legal/executive orders, amendments to
regulations/rules, contract agreement etc. to enable quick roll-out of VCF methods.
4. For each of these suggested VCF tools, the Consulting Firm will provide a Cost Benefit
Analysis.

General Remarks
5. For each of these suggested VCF tools, develop draft contract agreements, draft government
orders etc. for implementing the proposed VCF tools.
6. For each of the suggested VCF tools, develop a standard contractual agreement/ memorandum
of understanding between state, ULB and parastatals involved in order to have stability in
revenue sharing arrangements.
7. For each of the suggested VCF tools, the Consulting Firm will provide handholding support for
implementation of the interventions, and also support in implementing changes in laws,
government orders, bye laws, etc.
8. The Consulting Firm will also broadly study projects/modules/packages in the Smart City
Proposals and recommend most appropriate VCF method(s) for the project which may be
incorporated in the Detailed Project Reports and Financial Operation Plan of that project by the
Smart City SPV.
