a) The Contractor shall guarantee that the transformers comply with the performance
stated in the Technical Schedules. Tolerances shall not exceed the values
specified in IEC 60076 or those given in the Technical Schedules.
1. Performance Evaluation
Tenders evaluation will consider not only purchasing price, but total operational costs
of each of the offered transformers. Evaluation will be based on the guaranteed values
of no-load and load losses, calculated at 75 oC, at rated voltage and full load current at
nominal tapping. The following Present Worth Gradients will be applied to calculate
capitalized losses for all transformers:
Appendix-A

22,000.00/kW for no-load losses

TENDER DOCUMENTS
32/91

GTC/741/2015
MVA TRANSFORMERS
QR:
6,500.00/kW for load losses
Reference will be made to technical offer with the lowest guaranteed losses for each
type of the equipment. For all other offers, which guaranteed losses excess the
reference value for the same type of equipment, divergence will be calculated and
multiplied by the above specified present worth gradients. Capitalized load and noload losses, calculated in this way, will be added to the offered purchasing price of the
equipment to obtain total operational costs:
TOC = PP + 22,000 * (NLL NLLR) + 6,500 * (LL LLR)
Where:
TOC - Total Operation Costs in QR
PP - Purchasing Price in QR
NLL - Guaranteed No-load Losses
NLLR- Referenced (the lowest offered) No-load Losses
LL
- Guaranteed Load Losses
LLR - Referenced (the lowest offered) Load Losses
Below listed values are specified only as a guide line for expected level of losses:

2. Penalties for Deviation from Guarantees

Losses:
If the factory acceptance test of the transformer shows that the actual losses
exceed the guaranteed values, excess losses shall be penalized as follows:
No-load losses:
QR 22,000/kW for losses not higher than 5% of the guaranteed values
QR 44,000/kW for losses higher than 5% of the guaranteed values, but within
the acceptance limit.
Load losses:
QR 6,500/kW for losses not higher than 5% of the guaranteed values
QR 13,000/kW for losses higher more than 5% of the guaranteed values, but
within the acceptance limit
Transformers, for which the actual losses obtained by factory acceptance tests
exceed 15% of the individual losses, or 10% of total losses, will be rejected.

inspection and also for tests to identify the defects which shall be rectified
within the time frame specified and acceptable to KM.
3. Prior to the expiry of the Warranty Period, Contractor with KM
representative shall conduct thorough visual inspection of the transformer
to identify the defects which shall be rectified before the expiry of the
warranty period.
4. Replacement of desiccant as necessary.
5. Electrical testing of the transformer may be repeated before end of
warranty period depending upon KM decision at that stage.
Note: Contractor shall carry out investigative and supplementary test
immediately such defects arises affecting the operational condition and
reliability of the transformer at their cost.

claim for extension of time or for increased costs or damages by the Contractor.
A24. DAMAGES TO SERVICES AND UTILITY INSTALLATIONS

The Contractor shall be fully responsible for any damages to existing services, plant
and property occasioned by his operations. Any damages to services and utility
installations (including those KAHRAMAA) shall be remedied or rectified by the
Appendix-A
TENDER DOCUMENTS
79/91

GTC/741/2015
MVA TRANSFORMERS
Contractor to the complete satisfaction of KAHRAMAA. Wherever remedial action or

rectification is not possible the Contractor shall pay compensation to KAHRAMAA.
A25. PRE- TENDERING SITE VISITS

KAHRAMAA shall arrange pre-tendering site visits to specified Substations before the
Bid Closing date which shall be attended by the prospective bidders.
Queries, if any, shall be addressed in writing and shall be delivered by hand or by fax
to Manager Transmission Department, 07 days prior to the closing date of offers.
A26. DURATION OF CONTRACT

a) The duration of Contract shall be TWENTY FOUR (24) MONTHS from the
EFFECTIVE DATE OF CONTRACT including mobilization period.
b) It should be noted that the actual site work is related to system outages which is
usually granted commencing from 01 November to 31 st March of the following
year. Hence, the Contractor shall be prepared to commence site work from the
first day of issuing PTW.
c) In the event KM could not grant outage due to system needs to complete the
Contract within the stipulated period, KM will grant an extension of time which the
Contractor shall abide with no contractual claims and no change to the unit rates
and total value of Contract.
A27. WARRANTY PERIOD

The Contractor shall offer TWO (2) YEARS warranty for the work carried out from the
issue date of the issuance of Taking-Over Certificate.
