POLICY & PROCEDURE FOR DEBARRING OF AGENCY

FROM BUSINESS DEALINGS WITH MSEDCL
(…In addition to Tender and other conditions and relevant Law)

1. PREAMBLE
The purpose of this policy and procedure is to develop standard debar policy and procedure in
order to ensure par cipa on of reliable and honest bidders/contractors/vendors, etc.

2. PREFACE
In exercise of the power under Sec on 131, 133 and 134 of the Electricity Act, 2003 the
Government of Maharashtra by a No fica on dated 4th June 2005, (Ref. No. Reform
1005/CR/9061/NR G-5) formulated a Transfer Scheme where under the Maharashtra State
Electricity Board (MSEB) was trifurcated into separate genera on, transmission, distribu on
companies. As per the Transfer Scheme, the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribu on
Company Limited (MSEDCL) was designated as a Distribu on Licensee.
The main func ons and du es of Maharashtra State Electricity Distribu on Company Limited
are to acquire, establish, construct, take over, erect, lay, operate, run, manage, hire, lease, buy,
sell, maintain, enlarge, alter, renovate, modernize, work and use projects associated lines and
all things connected there to for the purpose of distribu on of power including sub- sta on, civil
works distribu on centre, cables, wires, lines, accumulators, plant, motors, meters, apparatus,
materials and to carry on the business of purchasing, impor ng, expor ng, trading or otherwise
dealing in Electric Power, to distribute and supply of electricity.
3. INTRODUCTION
MSEDCL deals with various Agencies like Turnkey Contractors/ Suppliers/ Service providers to
execute various projects. These agencies are repeated to perform, in le er and spirit of the
condi ons of Standard Bidding Documents and deliver in line with best corporate governance
prac ces. Learning from the past experiences, the new ini a ves were taken, to avoid delay in
execu on of works and to achieve further improvement in quality of the material and work.
Timely comple on of project, being the essence of any project, the progress with reference to
the agreed Milestone is con nuously monitored. The quality of material and work is checked at
different level by MSEDCL's officers and also by third party/independent agency. Necessary
ac ons as per General Condi ons of Contract (GCC) are taken against the contractor if the
progress is not achieved as per the agreed Milestone and/or if the quality is not maintained.

It is, however, observed that in spite of all this there are quite a few cases where a
contractor/agency either repeatedly failed to complete the projects as per agreed me
schedule or failed to rec fy some of the major defects no fied and failed to maintain quality of
material or con nued repea ng the same defects thereby viola ng the provisions of
tender/contract condi ons in le er and spirit.

Although, there is a provision in Standard Bidding Document (SBD) to ini ate ac on of

termina on against defaul ng Contractor/Agency/Vendor, there is no policy in existence for
debarring of such Contractor/Agency/ Vendor. Due to this, even if a Contractor/Agency/ Vendor
whose past performance is not sa sfactory or whose previous contract was terminated is
allowed to par cipate in new/fresh tenders.

(01)

Page 75 of 88
 CGMIT/AMS/20-21/1 Version-2

If such a contractor is again awarded a tender then it is possible that the awarded tender is
executed in a poor manner once again leading to delay in comple on of the project and/or the
quality of material and work ge ng suffered. It would be against interest of MSEDCL to deal
with such agency. In order to ensure compliance it requires debarring policy so that the
Contractor/Agencies/ Vendor perform the contractual obliga ons with good quality and
complete of the contract in mely manner. A need, therefore, is felt to assess and iden fy
Agencies on the basis of their performance and debar defaul ng Agency for a certain me
period from taking part in the future tendering process of MSEDCL. Further, as per the Office
Order No 18/3/05 dated 24th March, 2005, issued by Central Vigilance Commission (CVC), GOI,
the banning of business dealings with Agencies is an administra ve ma er to be decided by the
management of the organiza on and the CVC does not give its advice in such ma ers. In view of
this, MSEDCL has prepared this Policy and set the procedure for debarring of
Agency/Contractor from business dealings with MSEDCL a er referring the debar policies
adopted by few organiza ons like NTPC, WBPDCL, EIL etc.

ANNEXURE : A
QUALITY OF INSTALLATION (WORKMANSHIP)

DEFINITION OF DEFECT CATEGORIES

Defects shall be categorized into broad three types. All types of defects reported in the field shall
fall in one of these categories.

1) Cri cal defects

2) Major defects
3) Minor defects

CRITICAL DEFECTS :
These defects must be rec fied before charging. Cri cal defects are those which endanger life
and property. Dangerous deficiencies on safety, ground clearances, equipment earthing and
protec on would come this category. These are defects in presence of which the Electrical
Inspector would not allow charging of the electrical installa on. That is, if equipment are
already energized, it should be de-energized and rec fied without delay. If cri cal equipment
like distribu on transformer HT and LT line have been installed dangerously, the defect type
would fall under cri cal category of defect.
Example : LA is not connected, DT neutral earth is missing, Earth electrodes not installed,
Ground clearance not as per IE rule, Oil level low in transformer.

MAJOR DEFECTS :
These defects must be rec fied before opera onal handover (to Opera on and Maintenance
wing). These are major devia ons from drawing and specifica on. These are serious devia on
with respect to contract. The electrical installa on can be charged temporarily. However, the
defects should preferably be rec fied before charging.
Example : Pole not pitched at proper depth, Brick-bats / founda on inadequate, use of
undersized earth wire, precariously loose electrical connec ons and mechanical fi ng.

MINOR DEFECTS :
These defects are very minor in nature. Such defects in electrical installa ons keep surfacing
during opera on and maintenance. The installa on may be charged with these defects.
However they must be rec fied
Example : Danger board not proper, energy meter not installed before contractual handover
(before final payment is released and contract is closed), missing barbed wire, stay wire loose,
loose fasteners, vegeta on too close to HT / Lt line.
Note :
1) These defects are broad in nature. Actual field defects need to be defined more accurately by
inspectors.
2) All pictures depic ng defects should be numbered. Their number men oned in the report
shown in the table
3) A village infrastructure schema c (single line diagram) showing DTRs, HT and LT poles duly
numbered by the inspector shall be submi ed along with the report. Their number shall be used
