This has reference to the pre-bid meeting held yesterday in your office which was attended by the undersigned. We give below following points reg. Multipurpose Fire Tenders for your kind consideration: 1)EMD; As per tender documents EMD has to be transferred through RTGS or by DD. Sir, as per instructions issued by Govt. of India, SSI unit registered with NSIC (National Small Industries Corporation) are exempted from depositing EMD. Hence we request you to kindly give exemption to those bidders who are registered with NSIC. If it is not feasible, then we request you to please accept the BG instead of transferring the funds for the same amount. 2. Chassis: We would suggest that Department provide the chassis as they can get a good discount on bulk purchases than the individual bidders. This may please be considered. 3. Pump: Page 33 para 2.0 of Technical Specifications specifies that the pump should be "GE Marked/Godiva/Rosenbauer, Firefly". There are many manufacturers in India who are manufacturing quality CE pumps. We request that instead of specifying the brands it should only specifies CE Marked. 4. PTO: Page 36 para 4.2 of Technical Specifies Speed Ratio of PTO as "Not less than 1.27". According to us the speed ratio of the PTO should be 1.47 or 1.50 since the engine RPM has to be on higher side. With PTO having lesser ratio can lead to vibration and higher fuel consumption. Therefore PTO with higher step up ratio is suitable for HP/LP pump. 5. Similarly in the equipment list at page No.44 Portable Pumps has been specified of "Lombardini / Greaves Cotton" only. Since there are many other good Portable pumps are It is clarified that earnest money has to be submitted online only and No Bank Gurantte or demand draft will be accepted.
