Under Project 1, PCSCL intends to create passive infrastructure components, either through EPC model or PPP (revenue sharing) model, like laying of Optical Fibre based Network (City Network) and erection of Pole Infrastructure for mounting IoT & Smart City devices across the city; Fibre Network is planned to connect all the PCMC offices (Zone & Ward Offices), health & citizen facilitation centres, key areas like markets, religious places, bus stops etc. whereas the Pole Infrastructure shall be setup at various traffic junctions, key city places for hosting CCTV cameras, traffic detectors, variable message displays, public address system, WiFi access points etc.
Consider combining the scope for the Project 1 and Project 2 (as well as any future projects for ICCC) under single MSI to drive efficiency in project management. A divided MSI scope will create issues with SLA adherence as some activities can be in overlap or fall in no man's land. Furthermore O&M will be a challenge.

The PQ requirement on annual turnover of Rs. 500 cr is extremely high given the scope of the project. The fiber laying portion of the scope is relatively small and such a high number on revenue will restrict major players from participating.We suggest to keep qualifying criteria on turn over as Rs. 200 cr

Please add “City Wide Transport Network with support of IP/MPLS, 6PE and 6VPE mode for IPV6 transport over IPV4, ECMP, LDP, BGP Prefix independent control for IPV4 and IPV6, RSVP, Loop free alternate FRR (IPFRR) and MPLS-TE with FRR for sub 50 msec node and link protection. Network shall support IPSLA and Y.1731 for performance monitoring. Network shall support MEF for Ethernet based services like PW, VPLS or ATOM."
As mentioned in EOI, PCSCL is looking for services like Smart Pole, CCTV Camera, Wi-Fi, Smart Lighting, Traffic and Whether Sensors, Variable message display units along with numerous IOT and Smart City Devices. In case of smart cities there is always a requirement to provide dedicated internet or MPLS WAN connectivity to tenants. To successfully implement and run various smart city services and tenants connectivity, IP MPLS based transport network uses dynamic protocols to ease the operational burden and ensure self-healing of network and plays very crucial role. IP MPLS based network are enabled with features like faster convergence and industry wide accepted technology for critical applications and scalability. It provides simplification with optimal utilization of resources and readiness for all future traffic and connectivity requirements. IP MPLS based network will provide reliable, robust and scalable network platform to ensure isolated/dedicated routing and forwarding policies, QoS policies and traffic engineering policies for each smart city service and tenants connectivity. So we hereby request you to add requirement of reliable, robust and scalable city wide transport network requirement as part of EoI.

It was understood during the prebid meeting that the project 2 requires the SI to install the active components such as Wifi APs, Switches, UPS, etc. at the junction/smart pole. However, this approach is incomplete as these junctions/poles/edge locations will require an active network to connect to which is not mentioned in the EoI. How is that being met? Where would this ring/junctions terminate? Also, the EoI reads PCSCL would provide the connectivity to the SI in project 2. Understanding is: Scenario1: Connectivity from project 1, but this is only passive infra which cannot be used for directly connecting these devices/poles unless there is a core network. Scenario 2: Connectivity from Service provider - This also requires a core network to be establish for the ring/edge locations to converge and terminate. The entire vision of the smart city should be to have a common wired network which can be segregated into multiple different secure private (virtual) networks as per the b/w or fibre cores required, for multiple use cases as the citizen service deliveries grow - e.g Smart City, FTTx, CCTV, network for PCMC offices, etc. However, the current scope could result into a fragmented approach where multiple players would create their own network on the passive network - thus leading to huge costs in future as well as major manageability, O&M, security issues. This would also lead to lower monetization for each of the use cases as the capex investment would be required every time. It is desired that PCSCL provides a ready intelligent smart network for players/ businesses, citizens to leverage. We would be glad to discuss our thoughts on this.

Project 2 - Study, design, engineer, supply, installation, testing & commissioning and Operations & Maintenance of Smart Poles, City wide WiFi, Smart City Kiosk and Variable Message Display (VMD) etc. on end-to-end basis in Design, Build, Finance, Operate and Transfer (DBFOT) mode for a specified Concession Period on PPP Mode (Revenue Sharing Model)
We understand that the end of the Concession period the project assets needs has to be transferred to the Authoritcy. However, Monetization of the smart poles would be done through the use of these poles by Telecom operators. As a UASL/UAL license holder from DOT, telecom operators are abided by the regulations which mandates them to provide telecom coverage continuity. In absence of this continuity / disruption of telecom network, they would be in breach of regulation. Hence, we suggest that the project shall be implemented on Built-Own-Operate (BOO) basis. Requesting for a concession period of 20 years. Post concession period Concessionaire shall be allowed to use the telecom poles for the purpose of servicing the telecom customers at a mutually agreed consideration. At the same time, Authorities can use the same poles for hosting smart services or the rest of the assets other than smart poles can be transferred to the Authority. This creates a win win situation.

Consider combining the scope for the Project 1 and Project 2 (as well as any future projects for ICCC) under single MSI to drive efficiency in project management. A divided MSI scope will create issues with SLA adherence as some activities can be in overlap or fall in no man's land. Furthermore O&M will be a challenge.
