PRODUCT SUPPORT

1. Maintenance Philosophy. The Maintenance philosophy can be categorised into

‘O’, ‘I’ and ‘D’ levels depending upon the technological complexity of the equipment as under:-

(a) ‘O’ Level.

(i) Field Repairs. These are repairs carried out at field level (SATA Regt
Workshop) or equivalent service organisation by technicians specially trained for
this purpose and where the required special tools and spares have to be
provided. These repairs comprise replacement of common Line Replaceable
Units (LRUs), sub-modules, other components which may require Special
Maintenance Tools (SMTs) supported by diagnostics using Special Test
Equipment (STEs). The vendor may also include Built in Test Equipment (BITE)
facility to identify faults upto field level. Further there will be adequate number of
LRUs/Assemblies to be maintained as Floats which can be replaced at Field level
to reduce MTTR and can be recycled after intervention/ repairs by Original
Equipment Manufacturer. In total there shall be 09 (Nine) x Field Repair Points
to provide repair cover to Aerial Targeting System (Extended Range) and Loiter
Munitions. The manufacturer is required to provide the following:-

(aa) Quantity and specification of spares up to sub-Module level, other

replaceable components that need to be stocked for a specified population
and class of the equipment.

(ab) Additional Special Maintenance Tools and Test Equipment needed

for each such field/flotilla/station work shop.

(b) ‘I’ & ‘D’ Level. These are extensive or special repairs carried out to include
component level repairs. This level of repair envisages special diagnosis and repairs of
repairable inventory upto printed circuit boards (PCBS) level, major assemblies,
interface equipment/software and other components beyond the scope of field/ station
level repairs. These repairs are to be undertaken by the Seller/ OEM for which Annual
Maintenance Contract is as per Annexure I to this Appendix. ‘I’ & ‘D’ level repairs
required for equipment post warranty & first Annual Maintenance Contract to be
undertaken by the Seller/ OEM for which a separate contract shall be considered Six
months (06) prior to completion of first AMC based on the existing maintenance
philosophy.

II to this Appendix. List of the MRLS, along with likely consumption rate of spares is
to be provided with the Technical proposal. Cost of the MRLS, is to be provided
with the Commercial proposal. The MRLS will be supported by Reliability &
Maintainability (R&M) report for the proposed spares along with their Mean Time
Between Failure (MTBF). MRLS would be provided separately for each such sub
system. In order to prevent manipulation of the quantum of MRLS for commercial
competitiveness or overload unnecessary MRLS, ‘Adequacy’ clause and ‘Buy Back’
clause will be co-opted in the contract as under: -

(aa) The Bidder will confirm to the Buyer the range and depth of
Accompanied Accessories/ User Replaceable Parts/Expendable, Spares
and SMT/STE/Test Jigs being supplied are complete and adequate for
carrying out repairs on the equipment up to the ‘O’ Level. Any Bidder
found to be providing lesser ESP/MRLS in terms of range and depth will
have to make good the deficiency at no extra cost (Para 28 of RFP refers).

(ab) The Bidder will also commit that any additional items, spares, tools
and equipment needed for use, maintenance and repair will be supplied by
the Bidder at prices and within a period as specified in the contract, on
receipt of notification from the Buyer for the Life-Cycle Support period. The
Bidder will confirm that, if two different prices have been given for the
same/ similar item, then the lower price quoted will prevail. In case, the
quoted accessories has several items viz, sampling accessory kit and add
up price of these items is higher than the quoted price of the accessory,
then the price would be lowered/ adjusted proportionately for the items.
 30

(ii) ‘Buy Back’ Clause. The Buyer would have the option to amend the
Manufacturer’s Recommended List of Spares (MRLS) proposed by the Bidder
within a period 03 (Three) years, post expiry of the warranty period. The Bidder
needs to agree to either ‘Buy Back’ the spares rendered surplus or exchange
them on ‘cost-to-cost’ basis with the spares, as required by the Buyer. The said
spares would be purchased / replaced by the Bidder, based on the prices
negotiated in the contract.

4(b). Payment Deductions and Damages for Shortfalls in AMC Services (Refer

In case the cumulative downtime exceeds 60 (working days) in the Year, payment will be
deducted. The total downtime will be calculated at the end of the Year and payments will be
deducted. The total payments to be deducted will be calculated as follows:-
(i) Payments would be deducted on pro-rate basis for the duration, by which
cumulative downtime exceeds 60 (working days), as follows:-
(aa) Per year AMC = ‘X1’
(ab) Period by which cumulative downtime exceeds the specified cumulative
downtime, in days = ‘Y1’
(ac) Payment Deduction = ‘Z1. Z1 = [(X1/ Number of days in the year) * Y1]
(ii) In addition, damages would be deducted to the sum of 0.1% of the per annum
AMC cost per day, for the duration, by which cumulative downtime exceeds the
maximum permissible cumulative downtime per year, subject to the maximum value
of this damages not being higher than 5% of the annual AMC cost.
5. Denial Clause. In case the delay in delivery is attributable to the Bidder or a non-force
majeure event, the Buyer may protect himself against extra expenditure during the extended
period by stipulating a denial clause (over and above levy of LD) in the letter informing the
Bidder of extension of the delivery period. In the denial clause, any increase in statutory
duties and/or upward rise in prices due to the Price Variation Clause (PVC) and/or any
adverse fluctuation in foreign exchange are to be borne by the Bidder during the extended
delivery period, while the Buyer reserves his right to get any benefit of downward revisions in
statutory duties, PVC and foreign exchange rate. Thus, PVC, other variations and foreign
exchange clauses operate only during the original delivery period. The format for extension of
delivery period/ performance notice under the Denial clause is at Annexure IV to Appendix.
