Border Road Organisation Gabion Boxes and Rock Fall Netting Tender Arunachal Pradesh 2026 IS 16014

Tender Overview

Border Road Organisation invites bids for Mechanically Woven, Double-Twisted, Hexagonal Wire Mesh Gabions, Revet Mattresses and Rock Fall Netting conforming to IS 16014 and ISI marks, for deployment in the hilly, high-humidity terrain of Arunachal Pradesh, Lohit district. The contract carries an EMD of ₹1,770,363 and requires IS 16014:2014/ IRC SP 116-2018 compliant test reports. The scope emphasizes polymer-coated, abrasion-resistant coating with Zn+10% Al finish, suitable for damp conditions. Bidders must comply with the option clause allowing up to 50% quantity variation at contracted rates, with delivery periods recalculated per last original delivery date, minimum 30 days. A GeM rating floor of 4.25 is mandatory at bid submission, with precise sequential document indexing. Unique regional considerations include mountain humidity and abrasion resistance in coatings. This tender targets suppliers capable of meeting stringent coating, coating thickness, wire diameters, diaphragms counts, and ISI marking requirements. The absence of BOQ items signals a fixed qualification and compliance challenge rather than a per-item bid. The procurement prioritizes quality, traceability, and field suitability for border terrain.
