The manufacturing of the equipment shall be strictly in accordance with the approved
drawings and no deviation will be permitted without the written approval of the APDCL. All
manufacturing and fabrication work in connection with the equipment prior to the approval
of the drawings shall be at the suppliers risk.

• After approval of the drawings and bills of materials, the suppliers shall submit
detailed packing lists for approval. After approval, copies of these packing lists shall be
forwarded to the respective consignees.
• Six set of final drawings, bill of materials, wiring schedules, technical literature and
commissioning manuals shall invariably be forwarded to the consignee alongwith the each
panel consignment, and shall be listed out in the packing list when submitted for approval.

All drawings shall preferably be of A3 size. In case the supplier fails to furnish contractual
drawings and manuals even at the time of supply of equipment, the date of furnishing of
drawings/manuals will be considered as the date of supply of equipment for the purpose of
computing penalties for late delivery.

11.0 PACKING AND FORWARDING

• The equipment shall be packed in crates suitable for vertical/horizontal transport as
the
case may be and the packing shall be suitable to withstand handling during the transport
and outdoor storage during transit. The supplier shall be responsible for any damage to the
equipment during transit, due to improper and inadequate packing. The easily damageable
materials shall be carefully packed and marked with the appropriate caution symbols.
Wherever necessary, proper arrangement for lifting, such as lifting hooks etc. shall be
provided. Any material found short inside the packing cases shall be supplied by the
supplier without any extra cost.
• Each consignment shall be accompanied by a detailed packing list containing the following
information:
a. Name of the consignee
b. Details of consignment.
c. Destination
d. Total weight of consignment
e. Sign showing upper/lower side of the crate.
f. Handling and unpacking instructions.
g. Bill of material indicating contents of each package.
• All the equipment covered in this specification shall be delivered to the various consignees
of the APDCL as will be intimated to the successful tenderers. The equipment shall be
delivered to the consignees only by road transport, and shall be suitably packed to avoid
damages during transit in the case of indigenous supplies.
• The tenderers shall quote delivery periods for various equipment, and shall stick-on to the
committed delivery. The delivery period shall be counted from the date of issue of detailed
purchase order. It may clearly be noted that the delivery periods will under no
circumstances be linked up with other formalities like drawing approval, etc. It is therefore
the responsibility of the successful tenders to submit the drawings, bill of materials, packing
lists, etc. in time and get these approved.
