Consortium), coming together to implement the Project. However, no Bidder applying
individually or as a member of a Consortium, as the case may be, can be member of
another Bidder. The term Bidder used herein would apply to both a single entity and a

Section 3.1.1.
3.1.1.3 A Bidder shall not have a conflict of interest (the Conflict of Interest) that affects the
Bidding Process. Any Bidder found to have a Conflict of Interest shall be disqualified. A
Bidder shall be deemed to have a Conflict of Interest affecting the Bidding Process, if:
the Bidder, its Member or Associate (or any constituent thereof) and any other Bidder,
its Member or any Associate thereof (or any constituent thereof) have common
controlling shareholders or other ownership interest; provided that this
disqualification shall not apply in cases where the direct or indirect shareholding of a
Bidder, its Member or an Associate thereof (or any shareholder thereof having a
shareholding of more than 5 per cent of the paid up and subscribed share capital of
such Bidder, Member or Associate, as the case may be) in the other Bidder, its Member

provision, indirect shareholding held through one or more intermediate persons shall
be computed as follows:

and
APCRDA
Page 28 of 120

subject always to sub-clause (a) above, where a person does not exercise control
over an intermediary, which has shareholding in the Subject Person, the
computation of indirect shareholding of such person in the Subject Person shall
be undertaken on a proportionate basis; provided, however, that no such
shareholding shall be reckoned under this sub-clause (b) if the shareholding of
such person in the intermediary is less than 26% of the subscribed and paid up
equity shareholding of such intermediary; or
a constituent of such Bidder is also a constituent of another Bidder; or
such Bidder, or any Associate thereof receives or has received any direct or indirect

influence the Bid submission of either or each other; or
such Bidder, or any Associate thereof has participated as a consultant to the Authority

the Authority in relation to the Project is engaged by the Bidder, its Member or any

to the Project. For the avoidance of doubt, this disqualification shall not apply where such
adviser was engaged by the Bidder, its Member or Associate in the past but its assignment
expired or was terminated prior to the Bid Due Date. Nor will this disqualification apply
where such adviser is engaged after a period of 3 (three) years from the date of
completion of development of Phase 1 of the Project.

shall open the Part-1 of the submission (supporting documents to the bid, as
mentioned in Section 3.15) and assess if the submission is in conformity with the terms

1.3;
it is submitted/ uploaded as stipulated in Section 3.15.5;
it is accompanied by the Bid Security as specified in Section 3.21;
it is accompanied by the Power(s) of Attorney as specified in Section 3.1, as the case

may be;
it contains all the information (complete in all respects) as requested in this RFP
and/or Tender Documents (in formats same as those specified);
it does not contain any condition or qualification; and
it is not non-responsive in terms hereof.

The Authority reserves the right to reject any Bid which is non-responsive and no
request for alteration, modification, substitution or withdrawal shall be entertained
by the Authority in respect of such Bid.
4.3.2
Second step Evaluation of Eligibility

The Authority shall proceed to evaluate the Eligibility Submission based upon the
Documentary evidence submitted by the Bidders and the clarifications submitted by the
APCRDA
Page 55 of 120

Bidders in response to the clarifications sought by the Authority, in support of their
eligibility to the criteria mentioned in the RFP.
Bidders meeting the minimum Eligibility requirement will be eligible for the next stage
of the selection process i.e. opening of the Commercial bid. All such bidders shall be
informed about their qualification and shall be invited for the opening of commercial
bids.
4.3.3
Third Step Opening of Commercial bids

In the third Step, Authority shall open the Commercial bid of those Bidders who have
been qualified by it after the evaluation of the Eligibility Submission. The commercial bid
envelope of the OPP will be placed in front of all eligible bidders before the opening of
respective commercial bids on the procurement platform. The Bidder quoting the highest
Revenue Share in its Commercial bid shall be considered further as detailed in Section
4.3.4.
4.3.4
Fourth Step Selection under Swiss Challenge Approach
4.3.4.1 Identification of Highest Challenger Bidder
The Bidder adjudged as responsive and eligible in terms of Section 4.3.2, and quoting
the highest Revenue Share offered to the Authority shall be declared as the Highest
Challenger Bidder (the Highest Challenger Bidder).
In the event that two or more Bidders quote the same amount of Revenue Share (the
"Tie Highest Challenger Bidders"), the Authority shall identify the Selected Firm/
Consortium by draw of lots, which shall be conducted, with prior notice, in the
presence of the Tie Bidders who choose to attend.
In the event that no Bidder participates in this RFP or no bidder becomes eligible or
the sole bidder/ all bidders withdraw, there would not be any Highest Challenger
Bidder.
4.3.4.2 Opportunity to OPP to match
As explained in Section-1, the Government of Andhra Pradesh has decided to follow

Swiss Challenge Approach of identifying successful firm/ consortium for the
development of 6.84 sq. km. Amaravati Start-up Area based on the proposal
submitted by an original project proponent (OPP).
APCRDA
Page 56 of 120

The Authority is putting the OPPs proposal for Challenge through the Swiss
Challenge Approach under APIDEA, 2001, to seek the best offer of percentage of
Revenue Share from qualified challenger bidders.
In case the Highest Challenger Bidder is identified as per Section 4.3.4.1,

After identification of the Highest Challenger Bidder as per the terms and
conditions of this RFP, the OPPs Commercial Bid envelope will be opened in
front of all eligible bidders and the OPP will be offered the opportunity to match
or better the bid received from the Highest Challenger Bidder, if such bid is
superior to that submitted by the OPP.
If (a) the offer of OPP is superior to the best bid received from challenging
bidders, or as the case may be (b) the OPP matches or betters the best bid
received from the challenging bidders (if such bid is superior to the offer of
OPP), then OPP will be selected for the development of the Start-up Area and
GoAP will issue Letter of Award (LOA) (the Letter of Award or LOA)to the
OPP and will enter into a Concession and Development Agreement (CADA)
with the SPV (ADP) formed by the OPP.
In all other cases the Highest Challenger Bidder that has submitted the best bid
will be selected for the development of the Start-up Area and GoAP will issue
Letter of Award (LOA) to the Highest Challenger Bidder and will enter into a
Concession and Development Agreement (CADA) with the SPV (ADP) formed
by the Highest Challenger Bidder.
In such an event OPP will be reimbursed the Proposal Preparation Cost as specified
in this bid document by the Authority. The Proposal Preparation Cost shall in
turn be paid by the Highest Challenger Bidder to theAuthority, pursuant to
which the GoAP will enter into a Concession and Development Agreement
(CADA) with the ADP (SPV formed by Highest Challenger bidder along with
CCDMC ), which will then implement the Project.
4.3.4.3 Withdrawal by Highest Challenger Bidder

In the event that the Highest Challenger Bidder withdraws for any reason in the first
instance (the first round of bidding) after the selection as per the process outlined in
Section 4.3, without prejudice to the rights and remedies of the Authority, the steps
mentioned below shall be followed,
APCRDA
Page 57 of 120

4.3.4.4 The Authority may invite all the remaining Bidders to revalidate or extend their
respective Bid Security, as necessary, and match the Bid of the aforesaid Highest
Challenger Bidder (the second round of bidding). If in the second round of bidding,
only one Bidder matches the Bid of the erstwhile Highest Challenger Bidder, it shall be
deemed to be the Highest Challenger Bidder. If two or more Bidders match the Bid of the
said Highest Challenger Bidder in the second round of bidding, then the Bidder whose
Bid was higher as compared to other Bidder(s) in the first round of bidding shall be
deemed to be the Highest Challenger Bidder. The OPP will then be given an opportunity
to match this Commercial bid of such Highest Challenger Bidder.
4.3.4.5 In the event that no Bidder offers to match the Bid of the Highest Challenger Bidder in
the second round of bidding as specified in Section 4.3.4.4, the Authority may, at its
discretion, invite fresh Bids (the third round of bidding) from all Bidders, except the
Highest Challenger Bidder, of the first round of bidding, or annul the Bidding Process,
as the case may be or take such other action as the Authority deems appropriate. In case
the Bidders are invited in the third round of bidding to revalidate or extend their Bid
Security, as necessary, and offer fresh Bids, they shall be eligible for submission of fresh
Bids provided, however, that in such third round of bidding only such bids shall be
eligible for consideration which are higher than the Bid of the second Highest Challenger
Bidder in the first round of bidding. The bidder quoting the revised highest Revenue
Share offered to the Authority shall be declared as the new Highest Challenger Bidder
(the New Highest Challenger Bidder). The OPP will then be given an opportunity to
match the Commercial bid of the New Highest Challenger Bidder.
4.3.4.6 If the OPP does not match the Bid of the Highest Challenger Bidder or the New Highest
Challenger Bidder, as the case may be, the Authority would issue a Letter of Award
(LOA) to the winning Highest Challenger Bidder or as the case may be the New Highest
Challenger Bidder for implementation of the Project.
4.3.5
4.3.5.1 After selection as per the process mentioned in this Section 4.3.4, the LOA shall be issued,
in duplicate, by the Authority to the Selected Firm/ Consortium and the Selected Firm/
Consortium shall, within 7 (seven) days of the receipt of the LOA, sign and return the
duplicate copy of the LOA in acknowledgement of acceptance by it of the terms and
conditions contained in the LOA. In the event the duplicate copy of the LOA duly signed
by the Selected Firm/ Consortium is not received by the stipulated date, the Authority
may, unless it consents to extension of time for submission thereof, appropriate the Bid
Security of such Bidder.

4.3.5.2 After acceptance of the LOA as aforesaid by the Selected Firm/ Consortium, and the
payment of the Proposal Preparation Cost (in case a Bidder other than OPP is issued the
LOA) to the Authority, the GoAP shall execute the CADA and the CCDMC shall execute
the SHA, which shall be finalized on the basis of the drafts submitted by the OPP, within
the period prescribed in Section 1.3. The Selected Firm/ Consortium shall not be entitled
to seek any deviation in the CADA and SHA.

GUIDELINES OF THE DEPARTMENT OF DISINVESTMENT SIGNATORY

(Refer Clause 1.2.1)
No. 6/4/2001-DD-II
Government of India
Department of Disinvestment
Block 14, CGO Complex
New Delhi.
Dated 13th July, 2001
OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Sub: Guidelines for qualification of Bidders seeking to acquire stakes in Public Sector Enterprises
through the process of disinvestment
Government has examined the issue of framing comprehensive and transparent guidelines
defining the criteria for bidders interested in PSE-disinvestment so that the parties selected
through competitive bidding could inspire public confidence. Earlier, criteria like Net Worth,
experience etc. used to be prescribed. Based on experience and in consultation with concerned
departments, Government has decided to prescribe the following additional criteria for the
qualification/ disqualification of the parties seeking to acquire stakes in public sector enterprises
through disinvestment:
In regard to matters other than the security and integrity of the country, any
conviction by a Court of Law or indictment/ adverse order by a regulatory authority
that casts a doubt on the ability of the bidder to manage the public sector unit when it
is disinvested, or which relates to a grave offence would constitute disqualification.
Grave offence is defined to be of such a nature that it outrages the moral sense of the
community. The decision in regard to the nature of the offence would be taken on case
to case basis after considering the facts of the case and relevant legal principles, by the
Government of India.
In regard to matters relating to the security and integrity of the country, any chargesheet by an agency of the Government/ conviction by a Court of Law for an offence
committed by the bidding party or by any sister concern of the bidding party would
result in disqualification. The decision in regard to the relationship between the sister
APCRDA
Page 112 of 120

concerns would be taken, based on the relevant facts and after examining whether the
two concerns are substantially controlled by the same person/ persons.
In both (a) and (b), disqualification shall continue for a period that Government deems
appropriate.
Any entity, which is disqualified from participating in the disinvestment process,

would not be allowed to remain associated with it or get associated merely because it
has preferred an appeal against the order based on which it has been disqualified. The
mere pendency of appeal will have no effect on the disqualification.
The disqualification criteria would come into effect immediately and would apply to
all bidders for various disinvestment transactions, which have not been completed as
yet.
Before disqualifying a concern, a Show Cause Notice why it should not be disqualified
would be issued to it and it would be given an opportunity to explain its position.
Henceforth, these criteria will be prescribed in the advertisements seeking Expression

of Interest (EOI) from the interested parties. The interested parties would be required
to provide the information on the above criteria, along with their Expressions of
Interest (EOI). The bidders shall be required to provide with their EOI an undertaking
to the effect that no investigation by a regulatory authority is pending against them.
In case any investigation is pending against the concern or its sister concern or against
its CEO or any of its Directors/ Managers/ employees, full details of such
investigation including the name of the investigating agency, the charge/ offence for
which the investigation has been launched, name and designation of persons against
whom the investigation has been launched and other relevant information should be
disclosed, to the satisfaction of the Government. For other criteria also, a similar
undertaking shall be obtained along with EOI.
