IREL(India) Limited invites bids for a water sprinkling service along the haul road from AMC Junction to Kovilthottam in Kollam, Kerala for 600 trips. Estimated contract value is ₹1,495,296 with an EMD of ₹25,344. The contract allows a 25% up/down variation in quantity or duration at issue and post-award, with service scope adjustments not exceeding 25% with bidder consent. Currency and payment terms align with GeM processes; bidders may submit DD, BC, or online RTGS payments to IREL, with hardcopy delivery within 5 days post bid-end. Unique emphasis on prior experience in water sprinkling or equivalent earthmoving support.
The opportunity sits under the Department of Atomic Energy’s procurement channel, targeting bidders capable of sustained haul road water management across a defined corridor, rather than a one-off quick-service. A clear differentiator is the combination of equipment operation along a heavy-haul corridor and the potential for scope expansion within defined limits, ensuring bidders prepare for scalable deployment if required.
