6 You have specified all type of HTLC conductor except GAP type as mentioned in your tender document (Technical’s Spec. page no.1 of 23) i) What is the basis of excluding GAP type conductor? ii) Does DTL have any experience of GAP conductor? OR

it is an outcome of any external agency recommendations in writing to DTL on selection criteria of HTLS conductor prohibiting GAP Conductor?

iii) Has DTL carried out any Techno- Economic study keeping all types of HTLS conductor while working out the Capex and Opex to reach to such decision to exclude Gap conductor?

iv) When Indian manufacturer is also able to offer the same type of conductor (GAP) from indigenous sources then why the same has been excluded by DTL?

As per NIT requirement and CEA’s Planning Criteria on transmission.

7 GAP type of HTLS conductor as proven on the field with an operational experience of approximately about 4000 Kms in operations for many years on Indian power transmission network. Therefore DTL should not exclude GAP type of conductor as a technical option which grants higher techno –economical benefit to the utility meeting with all other technical specification.

-do-

8 Draft Guideline of CEA encourages the users and power utilities should not invite bids for one specified type of HTLS conductor as other type HTLS conductor are also available to cater to similar requirement. In the process the utility will get the product at a competitive price as competition generally leads to significant benefits to consumers through reduction of capital cost.

-do-

9 In fact DTL should be more concerned to get the scope of work done in the lowest possible capital cost rather than restricting the tender specification in such a manner that kills the open competition, at the bidding stage itself.

-do-

10 Hence tender specification may please be modified from utility consideration i) To include GAP conductor also in your Technical

Specification as an option for the bidders to quote. Let the conductor be decided on its technical merit and strength alone.

ii) To include EPC bidder or Authorized representative of
