The scope of the RFP is very comprehensive, and expects the JV or Consortium to provide end-to-end design including: Architectural Design, Interior Design, Exhibition Design, Site plan / master plan, site infrastructure, building engineering (MEP/FP/S), specialty engineering, exhibit procurement plan, code permits for site, building and exhibit (species) procurement, disaster management plan, environmental clearances, technical specifications, BOQ and cost estimates, design of life support systems for aquatic species, instruments for ops and maintenance, commissioning, construction monitoring. Modified. Please refer to the As far as we are aware, there is no single agency that provides all Corrigendum II S.N. 1 the above services under one roof, and it will take time for bidders to form a Consortium after thoughtfully addressing how to deliver the entire scope of the RFP. As such the Bid Due Date does not allow for sufficient time for thoughtful teaming, getting Consortium agreements negotiated and signed, and preparing and submitting the bid by 28/12/2016. In parallel, the newly formed teams will also need requisite time to work together to make a concept and presentation by 28/12/2016. The Authority should consider extending the Bid Due Date and Presentation date by one more month.

The Service Provider shall prepare a walkthrough video and presentation of the conceptual design when called upon for the presentation after qualifying the minimum eligibility criteria. The video must be in 3-D and playable on the 100’ X 80’ IMAX 3D theatre screen present in the Science City.
Our concern is it is too short a period to be done with a complete design and prepare a film in this high quality format. In addition, making of such films are very expensive, and it is a big expense burden to be borne for all bidders of which only one will be selected. It is recommended that if this high quality film is required, it should be done at the end of the detailed design stage, where the design is adequately advanced to have details to make for a good film, and which the client can use for promotions because it will closely match the final built design.
Modified. Please refer to the Corrigendum II S.N 3
The fee quoted by the Selected Bidder shall be divided into fee for No change. Please refer to the design consultancy phase which footnotes on Page 23 of RFP Volume II would be 30% of the Contact Fee and fee for construction phase, which would be 70% of the Contract Fee
The provision for the video has been modified. Please refer to Corrigendum II S.N. 12 for the details.
Video and presentation of conceptual design is required to evaluate the quality of submission.

The Authority shall select the Bidder through QCBS process. Technical and Financial Bids shall be evaluated based on parameters specified in the RFP document. Based on the technical submissions and financial bid, technical and financial scores respectively shall be given to each Bidder. The technical score will be awarded as per the criteria given in Clause 2.2.2 (a). Financial Bid will include the total project fee, and the Bidder quoting the lowest project fee will get the maximum financial score of 100. The bidder should quote a fixed price for the performance of their services and it should not be as a percentage of the overall project cost. Financial scores of other Bidders shall be given in proportionately. 60% weightage shall be assigned to technical score and 40% weightage shall be assigned to the financial score. Total score shall be calculated as: Total Score = 60% x Technical Score + 40% x Financial Score Whereas Financial Score = 100 x (Lowest Financial Bid / Financial Bid). The Project will be awarded to the Bidder with highest Total Score (hereinafter referred to as “Selected Bidder”).
As per our past experience with other bids most bids have a Technical - Financial ratio of 80-20 or 70-30, which allows for the selection for a more technical competent firm/consortium. Thus we request you to consider a Technical - Financial ratio of 80-20 or 70-30.
