					</table><p>Assam Gas Company (<a href="https://assamgas.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AGCL</a>) has invited bids to select a consultant to conduct the feasibility study for a proposed agrivoltaic solar power project at Sadiya in the Tinsukia district and submit the pre-feasibility report and the detailed project report for the project.</p>
<p>The consultant must conduct a detailed study of the agricultural aspects as part of the project and recommend the best feasible option on agricultural aspects along with the financial analysis and the solar power capacity in the detailed project report.</p>
<p>The last date to submit the bids is July 17, 2023. Bids will be opened on the same day.</p>
<p>Bidders will have to submit ₹40,000 (~$487.76) as an earnest money deposit.</p>
<p>The successful bidder must furnish an amount equivalent to 10% of the contract value as a performance bank guarantee.</p>
<p>The time for the completion of the pre-feasibility report is two months, and another two months for the completion of the detailed project report.</p>
<p>To be eligible, bidders should have completed three similar works, each costing not less than ₹600,000 (~$7,316), or two similar works, each costing not less than ₹800,000 (~$9,755), or one similar work costing not less than ₹1 million (~$12,194) during the last seven years.</p>
<p>Also, the bidder should have executed similar works for solar power projects in India with a capacity of not less than 5 MW, out of which at least one project should be grid-interactive with more than 20 MW capacity during the last seven years.</p>
<p>If the work is not completed within the stipulated time, the agency will be liable to pay liquidated damages at 0.5% of the contract value per day of delay, subject to a maximum of 5% of the contract value for that individual phase of work.</p>
<p>AGCL will provide a purchase preference to micro and small enterprise (MSE) bidders. If the participating MSE quotes a price within the price band of L1 + 15%, they will be considered for the award of the contract by bringing down their price to the L1 price in a situation where the L1 price is from someone other than an MSE.</p>
<p>In March this year, the Assam Cabinet <a href="https://www.mercomindia.com/assam-approves-620-mw-renewable-energy-projects" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gave</a> in-principle approval for setting up 620 MW of renewable energy projects under a joint venture between the Assam Power Generation Corporation and Oil India. The projects include three agrivoltaic projects with a cumulative capacity of 250 MW.</p>
<p>Earlier, the Assam Power Distribution Company had <a href="https://www.mercomindia.com/assam-discom-procure-200-mw-solar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">invited</a> bids to procure 200 MW of power from solar projects to be developed in Assam.</p>
