ii) has been properly signed.

iii) is accompanied by the required securities, and

iv) is substantially responsive to the requirements of the bidding documents.

23.2 A substantially responsive bid is one, which conforms to all the terms, conditions and

specifications of the Bidding Documents without material deviation or reservation. A material

deviation or reservation is one:

rights or the bidder’s obligations under the Contract ; or

will govern; and

multiplying the unit rate by the quantity, the unit rate as quoted in words will govern.

iii) In case error due to wrong extension of quantities the quantities as specified in the Bid

documents will be considered and multiplied by the unit rates quoted in words to obtain the

amount.

bidder does not accept the corrected amount of bid, his bid will be rejected and the bid security

shall be forfeited.

24.3.1 The SAPDC will evaluate and compare only the bids determined to be substantially responsive

to the requirements of the Bidding Documents in accordance with Para-23.0 hereof.

hereof.

24.3.3 In case bids are invited on Item Rate Method and if the bid of the successful bidder is seriously

the contract, the Employer may require the Bidder to produce detailed price analyses for any

or all items of the Bill of Quantities, to demonstrate the internal consistency of those prices

with the construction methods and schedule proposed. After evaluation of the price analyses,

the Employer may require that the amount of the performance security set forth in Clause 29

of ITB be increased at the expense of the successful Bidder to a level sufficient to protect the

Employer against financial loss in the event of default of the successful Bidder under the

Contract. The amount of the increased performance security shall be decided at the sole

discretion of the Employer, which shall be final, binding and conclusive on the bidder.

5.3 Contractor's Storage Facility

The Contractor shall be financially responsible for the secure and proper storage of materials, prior to installation of the materials and equipment, to prevent loss or damage to any materials. However Contractor may use SAPDC premises subject to approval of concern Authorities.

6. Poles and Cross Arms

6.1 Pole Numbering Poles and structures shall be numbered in accordance with a standard numbering system. Each pole shall be marked permanently through template with the assigned number.

6.2 Pole Framing

Pole and structures shall generally be framed in accordance with Construction Standards and the construction SDS. Where special framing requirements are necessary, the Site Engineer or Engineer shall provide framing instructions for the specific structure.

Each cross-arm shall be attached to the pole by a pole clamp or by machined bolts of sufficient length to pass completely through the holes provided on the pole and cross-arms and receive their full complement of nuts.

Bolts of proper length shall be used. Excess nuts shall not be used to make use of a bolt, which would otherwise be too long. The end of a machined bolt projecting more than 3 centimetres beyond the nut shall be cut off to a length of 2 centimetres beyond the nut. Each bolt, when installed, shall have its full complement of nuts.

During the erection work at the field there may be necessity to modify galvanized steel hardware and may have to be drilled, reamed, filed or cut. Under such a condition the area of the steel exposed, after these modifications, shall be coated with a zinc-rich paint to protect the steel from corrosion.

6.3 Excavation

All excavations made for the installation, or demolition, of facilities shall be accomplished in a timely manner according to the scheduled installation. Required excavations shall be opened, material installed, and backfill placed, as specified, in a continuing operation to the greatest extent practicable.

Any excavation left open during discontinuous construction, which is accessible to the public or along public thoroughfare, shall be covered or barricaded, and marked by suitable visual means, to prevent a public hazard.

Excavations shall be properly located and sized for the intended use. Pole and stay plate/ anchor excavations shall be correctly sized to retain undisturbed soil to the greatest extent consistent with the means of excavation. Pole holes shall be made by power-driven auger or by manual methods; power-driven shovel equipment shall not be used. Pole holes shall be excavated to the specified depth with no tolerance shallow and tolerance of ten (10) centimetres deep. The bottom of pole holes shall be undisturbed soil, gravel or rock. Stay plate holes shall be excavated by manual methods to specified depth with no disturbed soil in the direction of the anchor rod.

All excavations shall be backfilled with excavated material, or as specified for the

installation. Backfill shall be free of foreign materials and shall be well tamped with excess backfill graded over the excavated area to prevent depressions resulting from

eventual natural compaction. The Contractor if so directed by SAPDC shall remove large amounts of excess backfill from the site. If so directed by SAPDC, the Contractor shall

provide suitable backfill materials for excavations where existing removed materials is

insufficient, or inappropriate, to provide suitable grading of the excavated area.

6.4 Pole Setting

Poles shall be set in accordance with the appropriate Sections of the Construction Standards.

Each pole shall be assigned a unique construction number at the time of structure staking for preliminary identification and preparation of SDS.

Pole holes shall be dug large enough in diameter to admit a tamping bar all around the periphery of the pole and shall have a uniform dimension as per the type of pole used at

the top and bottom. Poles shall be planted in the ground to the depth specified in construction. Drawings before planting a pole, the bottom of the hole made for planting the pole, shall be cleaned of free soil and firmly tamped, to prevent the hole from settling.

The stability of a pole, particularly a pole without stay, is greatly influenced by the size of the pole hole, the nature of the soil and the care exercised in back filling and tamping. Two active hand tampers and one slow shovel shall result in good compaction.

Poles shall be set to stand perpendicular except at terminals, angles and other points of excessive strain where they shall be given a rake not to exceed 10 centimetres against the direction of strain. Poles located at the sides of banks or other locations, where washouts may occur, shall be protected by suitable cribbing, or shall be referred to the Engineer for recommended action.

After the pole is in position and the hole is back filled and tamped, soil shall be piled and packed firmly around the pole. Pole setting shall be inspected prior to acceptance and any back fills that have sunk shall be refilled.

Where it is necessary to set poles at locations where the soil has very low bearing value, or in swampy conditions, a pole may be fitted with a bog shoe in accordance with construction drawings the engineer may specify that type of construction.

Poles located in shallow riverbeds shall be protected by gabions as designated by the Site Engineer or Engineer. Gabions should be approximately 2 meters x 1 meter x 1 meter. Four such gabions are required for each pole.

Set pole and pour 860 mm diameter foundation as per construction standard construction drawing. Level areas around pole and set gabions in pattern shown in construction drawing. It is important to lace adjacent gabions together along the perimeter of all contact surfaces. Fill gabions with hard, durable, clean stone, 100 mm to 200 mm in size in three layers. Install two connecting wires at each layer. Lace gabion lids securely making certain all edges are closed. Fill void between pole and gabion with hard, durable, clean rock 200 mm minimum size.

7. Stays 7.1 Stay leads specified in construction documents are defined as the horizontal distance

from the centreline of the pole at ground line to the point where the anchor rod should enter the ground assuming the ground to be level.

The Engineer, upon request, may designate the actual location of stay anchor rods on slope of hills. The stay stake indicates the point where the anchor rod enters the ground. The anchor hole shall be dug accordingly.

The attachment of one stay shall not overlap that of another stay when 2 or more stays are carried to a pole or anchor. Each shall be entirely independent of the other. This does not prevent the use of multiple eye rods for nuts designed for such use.

All stays to be installed on a pole line shall be placed and drawn reasonably taut before the conductors are tensioned. After the conductors are tensioned and sagged to their final position, the stays shall be carefully inspected to see that each is carrying its share of the load on the pole as intended. If multiple stays are not carrying equal strain, the slack stay shall be pulled up until it is sharing load as intended.

Stay anchors must be installed full depth and set to pull against undisturbed soil to develop full tension. An anchor not properly installed will move and allow movement of the top of the pole, thus slacking the conductors. Stay anchors installed in soft or unstable earth shall be placed at specified depth and back filled with 5 cm. maximum size crushed stone placed to a depth of 1 meter from the bottom of the pole.

7.2 Installation of Stays

Where stays are installed on a line angle structure, line of stay shall bisect the outside line angle.

The span of stay extending between poles shall not be greater than 60 meter.

Anchor and anchor rods shall be set so that the axis of the rod and line of stay shall be straight. The portion of the anchor rod above the ground shall not be bent at an angle to connect a stay wire. If this occurs, anchor and anchor rod shall be reset. The anchor rod shall not be exposed for more than 15 centimetres above the ground after the anchor is set.

If gravel back fill is required to set anchor in soft or unstable soil, as per construction drawing the Contractor will have to carry out the gravel back fill as directed by Engineer.

If a stay is installed on a pole where low voltage conductor is dead ended or double dead ended and extends past stay, a piece of plastic hose slit along the length shall be placed over the stay wire extending from the upper stay attachment to 200 mm below lowest low voltage conductor. After installation, the hose shall be wrapped with plastic tape and the hose shall be secured to the upper stay bolt with tie wire.

7.3 Stay Insulators

Stay insulators shall be installed on all stays in accordance with the construction drawings.

8. Conductor Aluminium Conductor Steel Reinforced (ACSR) conductor shall be used for 33 kV overhead lines.

8.1 Sagging

Conductors shall be sagged in accordance with the sag chart specified by these specifications.

The importance of careful sagging of conductors cannot be over emphasized. Conductors have definite characteristic that control their behaviour resulting from changes of temperature, wind speed and additional load due to ice or wet snow.

Conductors must not be sagged too tightly (less than specified sag) as unspecified extra tensions may result in failure of conductor structure.

Conductors sagged too loosely (more than specified sag) may contact adjacent conductors hardware or any structure. Excess sag can reduce clearance beneath the line with the ground to the point of danger.

8.2 Sag Charts

Unless otherwise noted, all sag charts are calculated on the basis of 75 kg/m2 wind pressure

Sag is always measured vertically, without wind, when conductors are being installed or re-sagged.

Unless otherwise specified by the Site Engineer or Engineer for a specific condition, initial or stringing sag shall be applied to the installation of all new unstressed conductors. The initial sag is always less than the final sag. The most practical method of obtaining the correct sag is by sighting between two adjacent structures. Choose the structure, which is reasonably near the same elevation

Sags for the various temperatures shall be furnished by the Engineer in a table form for spans not covered by the sag chart.

In order to ascertain the sag for a given stringing temperature, select the point

corresponding to the proper temperature on the scale on the left-hand side of the sag

chart. Lay a straight edge so that it passes through this point and the point of the centre

scale representing the length of span to be sagged. The straight edge will then indicate

the proper stringing sag on the right-hand scale. Interpolate if the temperature of span is

not exactly the same as designated on the chart. The low voltage neutral conductor shall

be sagged with the same sag as the low voltage phase conductor. If the low voltage

conductor, as a group, has less design sag than the high voltage phase conductor installed

above it, the low voltage conductor, as a group, shall be installed to the same sag as the

high voltage conductors installed above. The sag of pre stressed conductors such as

installed with a tensioning machine shall be specified by the Engineer for the job.

8.3 Stringing

All cable grip used for the installation of conductors shall be of the type designed to prevent injury to the conductor.

Attach targets to each structure at a distance below each point of the support of conductor equal to the required sag. Sight from one target to the other. The line of sight between targets may be horizontal or inclined. Draw the conductor up to the proper sag, which will be reached when its lowest point will be in line with the target.

Where terrain and / or length of span in such that the targets would fall below the ground line, the difference in elevation between the lower conductor attachment and the lowest point of sag, sag below lowest support will be furnished by the engineer in the tabular form.

The dynamometers and similar apparatus shall be used for tensioning of conductor to obtain appropriate sagging of conductors. Dynamometer shall be used only when the sight method is not feasible. Dynamometer shall be checked for accuracy before using.

For stringing of ACSR conductors of all sizes, stringing rollers or roller shall be used to support the conductor as it is pulled out and sagged. Stringing rollers shall be used regardless of size of aluminium conductors, bare or covered.

Stringing rollers shall be suspended at each insulator support position so that the conductor shall roll smoothly over the roller-protecting conductor from any physical damage.

Stringing sheaves shall have a diameter at least 20 times the conductor diameter and so finished as to prevent damage of any kind to the conductor as it is pulled through the sheaves.

Conductor drum shall be located at a sufficient distance from the first structure to avoid excessive bending of the conductor over the sheaves and excessive downward loading on the cross-arms.

Attention shall be paid to the fact that all sag charts contained herein for ACSR conductors are calculated on the basis of non-pre-stressed conductor. For this reason, at no time during the stringing or sagging operation, shall conductors of this type be pulled to sag, which are less than those shown by the charts.

Special care shall be taken at all times to prevent the conductor from becoming kinked, twisted or abraded in any manner. Where it is necessary to drag conductors on the ground, the conductors shall be protected by covering all stones or other objects, which might damage the conductor with boughs or trees or suitable pieces of lumber. These requirements are especially important when ACSR conductor is being handled on river crossing spans. Floats with rollers shall be used to prevent the conductor from dragging along the river bottom.

In stringing conductors across highways, the conductors shall be fully protected from passing vehicles by use of temporary guard structures.

8.4. Damaged Conductor

Damaged conductors shall be repaired by using a repair sleeve provided that no more than 2 strands of the outer aluminium layer are damaged and further provided that none of the sleeve core strands are damaged. For a conductor damaged in excess of the above conditions, the damaged section of the conductor shall be cut out and a tension splice installed.

When cutting out damaged section of conductor, no more than 1 tension splice shall be permitted in a span and no splice is made within 8 meters of an insulator attachment.

8.5 Sag Error

Sag error shall not exceed ± 40 mm from the sag defined by the sag chart.

8.6. Conductor Attachment

Conductors shall be secured to pin insulators with pre-formed conductor ties or with tie wire. Insulator ties, except at jumper supports in structures, shall be made with pre-formed ties when available.

Conductors shall be connected to dead end assemblies with tension set.

8.7 Line Splices for Tensioning and Looping

Cleaned and polished contact surfaces are necessary to make conductor splices so that it shall remain free from trouble. Great care shall be taken to completely clean the strands of aluminium conductor. The splicing sleeve must be centred over the conductor ends before compressing to make a splice of required strength.

Appropriate sleeve shall be used for splicing ACSR conductors prior to installation. The outer strands of aluminium shall be carefully cleaned with a wire brush to remove all foreign matter till the aluminium shines brightly. The cleaning applies to both new and

old conductors. The manufacturer pre-filled with inhibitor compound supplies splicing sleeves for aluminium conductor.

Splices in line conductors shall be so located that the end of the splicing sleeve is at least 30 cm from the end of a suspension or dead end clamp. Non-tension loops, such as between dead ends, shall be spliced with a connector when the conductors are of same metal and size.

8.8 Connectors

Cleaned and polished contact surfaces are necessary to make electrical connections that will be free from trouble.

Tap connectors are supplied by manufacturers pre-filled with inhibitor compound. Excess inhibitor compound shall not to be removed but it shall be wiped over the connector as a moisture seal. Connectors shall not be covered or taped.

Compression connectors shall be located in such a manner that there shall be at least 30 cm of conductor between the end of the connector and the end of a dead end

Connectors shall be installed on non-tensioned portion of the conductor such as loops in preference to the conductor in the span.

Connectors installed on conductor shall be located in a span adjacent to the crossing rather than the crossing span when practicable.

Aluminium compression connectors, pre-filled with inhibitor compound, shall be compressed on the cleaned area of aluminium conductor. Where necessary, inhibitor compound shall be applied to the cleaned conductor and connector before assembly.

Aluminium compression connectors shall be used for connecting aluminium-to-aluminium conductors.

8.9 Conductor Accessories

Pre-Formed Ties and Grips

Taps for jumpers and services shall not be made over the legs of ties or dead end grips.

Pin Insulator Ties

Pin insulator ties are of 2 types:

a. With single top grooves: Single top ties may be used to turn line angles to 7 degrees where single insulators are permitted. Please refer construction drawing for specific applications.

b. With side grooves with specific size of ties for specific conductor in each tie style: Specific usage is dictated by insulator pin loading and use of single insulators as specified in construction drawing.

Shackle Insulator Ties

Shackle insulator ties are furnished in one type with specific size of ties for specific conductor. Shackle ties may be used to turn line angles at 20 degree. At the line angles, the conductor shall be located on the side of the vertically installed shackle insulator that
