Concealed / Surface Point Wiring and Conduiting
Concealed conduit wiring uses approved 16-gauge heavy-duty ERW grade black enamelled MS conduit with heavy-duty accessories such as bends, junction boxes, MS pull boxes of specified sizes with top MS covers, check-nuts and so on. Complete conduit is concealed in walls or ceilings by chiselling (ziri cutting) with a mechanical cutter, installation before slab casting. All accessories and joints must be fixed by threaded method - pin-type accessories are not permitted. The capacity of conduit must comply with IS 732/1963 (latest revision). Conduit pipes in chase are installed using GI saddles fixed at a maximum of 400 mm spacing. Standard bends are avoided as far as possible; conduit bending uses long-radius bends through a conduit offset machine. After installation of conduits, steel wires of appropriate sizes are inserted to enable pulling of wires after the conduiting is complete. All joints are painted with two coats of red-oxide paint and edges filed smooth to avoid damage to wires.
Wiring Specifications
Point wiring is done by supply and laying of 660 / 1100V graded PVC insulated copper wires of specified sizes (preferably 2 x 1.5 sqmm copper) for phase and neutral, with an earth wire of 660 / 1100V insulation grade of 1.5 sqmm copper for all points. Each point is wired individually with phase, neutral (unless otherwise specified) and earth wires; all point neutrals are looped at switchboards on connectors in switchboards. The maximum number of wires per conduit must follow the specifications - no attempt to accommodate more wires is permitted. Pull boxes of MS are provided at a maximum of 4.5 metre intervals for ease of maintenance.
The contractor's point-wiring rate includes installation of point with all accessories such as junction boxes, bends, conduits, pull boxes, ceiling rose, round Hylam plates (white colour) and wires. Switchboard installation is included in point wiring; fan regulators are NOT included in the point-wiring rate but the space for the regulator must be provided in the switchboard. Fan-hook box of 12.5 cm diameter and 7.5 cm height of 5 SWGHS sheet or anchor bolt for fan-hook are included.
Mains Wiring and Circuit Wiring
For mains and circuit wiring, the contractor supplies and fixes 25 / 32 mm PVC HMS conduits and casing-caping of approved make with heavy-duty accessories. The junction boxes used for wall mains are 62 mm deep. Separate conduiting is provided for mains / circuit wiring; in no case is it mixed with point-wiring conduits. The conduit in chase is fixed with GI staples at a maximum of 400 mm distance. Switchboards are fitted with conduit on double check-nut mounting.
Mains wiring uses 660 / 1100V grade PVC insulated flexible copper wires from the distribution board to each switchboard and power socket. Independent wires with colour code are used for phase, neutral and earth. Mains wiring also includes termination of wires at DB and power outlet, including ferrules at both ends for identification. Looping of power sockets is only done where specifically mentioned. Earthing wires are dedicated for each power point / switchboard / flat DB. For a three-phase circuit, two earth wires of specified size are used from meter panel to power points, terminated at the earthing link of the panel and power outlet box.

Point-wire (phase) colour is opposite to that of the circuit coming to the switchboard.
Cable Laying in Underground Trench
Cable trenches are excavated as per detailed dimensions (width / depth / length) given in the trench drawing. The rates for excavation must be quoted after a site visit. After complete excavation, a sand bed of 50-100 mm thickness is laid at the bottom of the trench using fine Narmada river sand free of stone or gravel. Cables are laid maintaining a minimum spacing of 100 mm (or as specified in the drawing). After laying, cable identification tags of aluminium flat (minimum size 25 x 3 mm) with punch marks of cable number are installed at every metre. A 100 mm sand bed is laid over the cables and bricks are placed on the edges over the sand as per drawing. Route markers minimum 100 mm diameter x 3 mm bolted on MS angle of size 40 mm x 40 mm x 5 mm are grouted in the ground approximately every turn.

Important Point
Bidders must arrange backup power and internet at their own premises during e-tendering. Failure of power or internet at the bidder's end is not a ground to extend the e-tender window.
The contractor must quote rates excluding GST; GST is paid separately by the Bank as applicable.
The tenderer must quote rates for every item in the Price Bid; missing item rates will mark the bid as "Incomplete Tender" and lead to rejection.
The L-1 tenderer must submit the entire hard-copy Technical Bid, spirally bound and signed with company seal, within 7 days of confirmation; failure to do so may disqualify the bidder.
No advance payment is made on materials, plant, machinery or mobilisation. Bills are paid only on actual measured work executed.
Bids once submitted cannot be withdrawn; if the L-1 bidder backs out, the EMD will be forfeited and the bidder may be depaneled.
An item-rate tender containing percentage below / above will be summarily rejected.
The Bank reserves the right to extend, reschedule or cancel any e-tendering within its sole discretion.
