together with one copy of the whole Bid clearly indicating by way of mark-up those
changes which have been made. By way of notes to the mark-up, Bidder shall
explain the reason for its changes to the previously submitted Bid. RIL shall retain
ownership of the original Bid notwithstanding that the Bid has subsequently been
changed and resubmitted.

time and date. RIL reserves the right to reject Bids received after the Bid Due Date,
even if the Bid is received late due to reasons outside of Bidder’s control. Bids must

requirements of this RFP. For the purposes of this Section 18, a “substantially
responsive” Bid shall be a Bid submitted by the Bidder that conforms to all the terms,
conditions and requirements of this RFP without any material deviations as
determined by RIL in its sole discretion.
18.2 A ”material deviation” is a deviation or reservation from the terms and conditions of
this RFP which, as RIL determines (in its sole discretion) affects in any material way
the scope, quality, performance or risk profile of the works contemplated by this RFP
or which would limit in any substantial way, RIL’s rights or Bidder’s obligations under
the Contract (if executed), the acceptance of which deviation or reservation would
affect unfairly the competitive position of other Bidders presenting “substantially
responsive” Bids. RIL may waive any minor non-conformity or irregularity in a Bid,
which does not constitute a “material deviation”, provided such waiver does not
prejudice or affect the relative ranking of any Bidder.
19. RIGHT TO ACCEPT OR REJECT BID AND COSTS
19.1 RIL reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to accept or reject any Bid, wholly or in
part, or to annul and cancel the bidding process and reject all Bids at any time,
without assigning any reason for the same. For the avoidance of doubt, RIL may in
its sole discretion require Bidder to execute the Contract in respect of and perform
only part of the Scope of Work. RIL will not assume any liability for rejection of any
Bid or cancellation of the bidding process.
19.2 All costs associated with the preparation and submission of Bids, attending pre-bid
conferences, meetings at RIL offices, answering, clarification and further information
requests and carrying out all other activities related to the Bid process will be for the
account of Bidders, and no claims for the same will be entertained by RIL under any
circumstances.
20. EVALUATION OF BIDS
20.1 In its evaluation of Bids, RIL shall give due weight, as determined by RIL in its sole
discretion to the technical competency, works schedule, previous performance
record, current and anticipated work load, price, payment terms, expertise, number
and nature of any exceptions/deviations and any other matter that RIL considers
relevant in its sole discretion. The decision of RIL in relation to the evaluation of Bids
shall be final and binding on all Bidders and shall not be subject to dispute by Bidders
under any circumstances.
20.2 Any effort by Bidder (or any local agent or representative) to influence RIL, its
advisors or their respective employees during the process of clarification,
determination of responsiveness, evaluation and comparison of Bids, or in decisions
concerning the determination of the successful Bidder, may result in rejection of the
Bid.
21. AWARD
The documents included in this RFP, which will form part of the Contract to be
executed by the successful Bidder, shall incorporate any modifications as a
consequence of any exceptions/ deviations accepted by RIL. The successful Bidder
shall be informed by RIL of the changes that will be required, which shall be accepted
and implemented by the successful Bidder.
22. SIGNING OF CONTRACT
22.1 Acceptance of the Bid by RIL will be by way of a letter of award (“Letter of Award”)
legally binding on the successful Bidder issued by telefax, mail, hand or courier to the
successful Bidder. The Letter of Award should be acted upon by the successful
Bidder immediately on receipt. If issued by telefax, the original Letter of Award in
such case will be forwarded to the successful Bidder as soon as reasonably possible.
22.2 The successful Bidder shall be required to execute the Contract on the basis of the
terms and conditions of this RFP as modified by any exceptions/deviations proposed
by the successful Bidder which may be accepted by RIL and on the basis of the
Letter of Award, within thirty (30) days from the date of issue of the Letter of Award
by RIL.
22.3 For avoidance of doubt, it is clarified that on issuance of Letter of Award by the RIL,
the Contract shall be deemed to have been concluded between the RIL and the
Contractor and the Contractor shall be liable for specific performance of the Contract
for any breach of the terms thereof by the Contractor.
23. SUPPLY CONTRACT / SERVICES CONTRACT
If required by RIL, RIL reserves the right, at its sole option, to split the Work into a
contract for the supply of equipment, goods and materials (“Supply Contract”) and a
contract for the provision of the services by the Contractor (“Services Contract”). The
contracts together will provide for equivalent rights and obligations of RIL and the
Contractor to those provided for in this RFP, the Bid and any agreed deviations and
modifications. If RIL elects to split the Work the successful Bidder shall, on the
request of RIL, submit two Standby Letter of Credit and two Parent Company
Guarantees, one each in relation to the Supply Contract and the other in relation to
the Services Contract. In addition (and if requested by RIL), the successful Bidder
shall provide an umbrella Parent Company Guarantee in respect of both the Supply
Contract and the Services Contract to guarantee the performance of the Work as a
whole. The form of any Standby Letter of Credit and Parent Company Guarantee
required to be provided by the successful Bidder shall be in the form set out in the
Contract subject to any necessary consequential changes.

PROJECT INFORMATION
Introduction
Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) was awarded two contiguous CBM Blocks in Sohagpur
coal basin, SP (West)-CBM-2001/1 and SP (East)–CBM/2001/1 through International
bidding under the first round of bidding by the MoPNG, Government of India. Sohagpur West
and Sohagpur East CBM blocks, comprising area of 500 Sq. Kms and 495 Sq. Kms
respectively, are located in Shahdol and Anuppur districts of Madhya Pradesh state in
central India. Nearest airport is Jabalpur, which is about 250 Km from Shahdol town,
connected by a metalled road and railway line via Umaria-Katni. An East-West metalled road
traverses the block area with several interconnected metalled and unmetalled roads.
The Son River and its tributaries form the drainage in the Block area.
CBM Blocks’ Geological Set-Up
Sohagpur CBM Blocks are part of the South Rewa Basin which forms the central part of the
Gondwana Supergroup. Sohagpur Gondwana basin is east-west elongated occurring at the
Southern part of South Rewa Gondwana basin. A complete sequence of Gondwana rocks
from Upper Carboniferous Talchir Formation to Lower Cretaceous Lameta Formation occurs
in this Coalfield. Structurally it is a half graben. A major east-west normal fault, namely
Bamhani Chilpa fault traverses the basin. The CBM blocks are situated in the northern
downthrown segment of this major fault along which Raniganj and Barakar Formations are
juxtaposed. The sedimentary rock fill in the blocks comprise of rocks of Talchir (20- 50m),
Barakar ( 200 – 450m), Barren Measures ( 200-300m) , Raniganj ( 50-500m) formation and
thin layer of alluvium at places. The coal seams usually occur in Barakars and Raniganj
formations. The sediments are intruded by Basic intrusive rocks (Dolerite) at different places.
Work Done So Far
During exploration and appraisal phase 32 coreholes and 41 production wells were drilled.
Subsequently, based on the results of exploratory wells and core analysis, RIL has taken up
the development of these bocks. During initial development phase, 290 production wells
have been drilled and envisaged plan is to drill 50-60 production wells per year for next 5-6
years. As per approved development plan, the infrastructure and surface facilities to produce
gas from the wells have also been created.
