At the same time, some of the existing construction projects are likely to have been completed and may go out of the lists. Overall therefore, the lists of projects would be dynamic in nature. The tender states that “the lists of projects would be dynamic in nature” and may change as new projects are added and completed ones are removed. In order to correctly plan manpower deployment, costing, travel, and resource allocation, we request ESIC to kindly provide a fixed and final list of projects that will fall under the scope of the PIU, with their present ongoing and completed status for better understanding of the project.

Deployment of Personnel 7.2 ESIC expects that all personnel approved under this Agreement shall remain available throughout the implementation of the assignment. Substitution of personnel shall be permitted only in cases beyond the Project Implementation Unit’s control, such as medical incapacity, death, or resignation. A maximum substitution of 30% of personnel deployed in the contract and that too by only equally or better qualified and experienced personnel shall be permitted during the entire contract period. a) The first substitution of 10% of personnel deployed in the contract and that too by only equally or better qualified and experienced personnel shall be permitted during the entire contract period without any penalty. b) Further, next 10% of substitution it shall attract deductions of amount of 10% of reimbursement of personnel from the date of substitution of personnel. c) Further for the next 10% of substitution, it shall attract deductions of amount of 20% of reimbursement of personnel from the date of substitution of personnel. We request a relaxation on resource replacement terms, as long- term projects involve personnel changes beyond a bidder's control. We propose that the first 10% of substitutions be permitted without penalty, provided replacements are equally or better qualified to maintain project standards. For any substitutions exceeding this threshold, we suggest a one-time deduction of 5% of the renumeration quoted for the respective personnel/resource of that particular month. Tender document shall prevail. 53. Page 70, Section 3- Scope of work, Clause 7.1.7 7.17.

Page 64, Section 3-Scope of work, Clause 7.2 Deployment of Personnel Substitution of personnel shall be permitted only in cases beyond the Project Implementation Unit’s control, such as medical incapacity, death, or resignation. A maximum substitution of 30% of personnel deployed in the contract and that too by only equally or better qualified and experienced personnel shall be permitted during the entire contract period. The following terms shall govern the substitution ensuring that equal or higher qualifications and experience personnel shall be engaged: a) The first substitution of 10% of personnel deployed in the contract and that too by only equally or better qualified and experienced personnel shall be permitted during the entire contract period without any penalty. b) Further, next 10% of substitution it shall attract deductions of amount of 10% of reimbursement of personnel from the date of substitution of personnel. c) Further for the next 10% of substitution, it shall attract deductions of amount of 20% of reimbursement of personnel from the date of substitution of personnel. Under the Deployment of Personnel section, the tender permits up to 30% substitution of manpower, with 10% and 20% deductions applied after the first 10% substitution. We request ESIC to kindly consider that if suitable substitute personnel are provided (equal or better in qualification and experience), then no financial deduction should be applied. Since replacements maintain service quality, we request removal of the deduction clause for substitutions because retaining an expert for a long duration is beyond the control of the PIU consultant Also as a PMU/PMC assignment spanning 3–5 years, manpower movement is naturally expected due to reasons such as: • Unavoidable personal circumstances such as Medical emergencies • Location transfer requirements, Career progression or statutory notice periods, Family relocation, maternity/paternity situations, Re- deployment based on project phasing needs • These factors are beyond the PIU’s control, and rigid capping combined with financial penalties may adversely affect Continuity of services, Ability to retain high-quality talent, Ability to replace specialized staff at short notice, Long-term sustainability of the project • Given the long duration and multi-disciplinary nature of the engagement, a fixed 30% substitution ceiling and associated penalties could unintentionally disrupt performance rather than enhance it thus we request ESIC to relax given clause. Tender document shall prevail. 55.

We would respectfully like to inform that employee remuneration is confidential as per our company policy, and salary structures (including internal components) cannot be disclosed or matched against quoted rates. We therefore request ESIC to remove this clause, and allow payment to be made to the PIU as per the quoted manpower rates, without requiring verification of actual salary deposits made to employees Please refer to the addendum. 58.

We request ESIC to kindly consider that travel reimbursement should be aligned with the deployment category/grade of each manpower, since all resources do not fall under the same level of responsibility, seniority, or cost structure. Therefore, we request that reimbursements be allowed as per the respective manpower category, rather than a uniform Level-10 entitlement for all. Tender document shall prevail 59.

Beginning of every 13th month the remuneration and reimbursable should be incremented/escalated as per Government laws We request ESIC to modify given clause as: Price variation shall be applicable annually based on CPI-IW for the relevant region. No threshold of 2% shall apply for manpower-based contracts. The total adjustment may be allowed up to 20% of the annual contract value, to accommodate real inflation trends.

General -- The requirement for ESIC was two parts viz. a) monitoring and overall management of portfolio of projects of ESIC and b) technical inputs/ technical backstopping for projects of ESIC. And while management consulting firms such as ours provide services pertaining to monitoring and overall management, we do not provide technical or engineering design / drawing related inputs. The captioned RFP has been issued and framed primarily for Authority Engineers which is domain for technical / engineering firms. And thus, we would not be able to bid for this RFP. However, if there is any opportunity for project monitoring for a project or portfolio of projects, we would be happy to participate. PIU shall work as ESIC’s authority engineer also. Tender document condition shall prevail. 74. General -- The current scope demands for Project Implementation Unit to be Authority Engineer for various Capital Projects.

Nothing in this Clause shall be construed as a waiver of any rights available to ESIC under law, equity, or the terms of this Contract. 12. Denial Clause If delay in delivery of scope or performance is attributable to the Project Implementation Unit, the ESIC shall protect itself against extra expenditure during the extended period by stipulating a denial clause (over and above levy of LD) in the letter informing the Project Implementation Unit of extension of the contract period. In the denial clause (applicable for delays attributable to Project Implementation Unit), any increase in statutory duties and/or upward rise in prices due to the Price variation clause (PVC) clause and/or any adverse fluctuation are to be borne by the Project Implementation Unit during the extended contract period, while the ESIC reserves his right to get any benefit of a downward revisions in statutory duties, PVC.

Adjudication b. Mediation c. Arbitration 16.2 Excepted Matters Matters for which provision has been made in any Clause of the contract shall be deemed as ‘excepted matters’ (matters not disputable/ arbitrable), and decisions of the ESIC, thereon, shall be final and binding on the Project Implementation Unit. The ‘excepted matters’ shall stand expressly excluded from the purview of the sub- clauses below, including Arbitration. However, where the ESIC has raised the dispute, this sub-clause shall not apply. Unless otherwise stipulated in the contract, excepted matters shall include but are not limited to: a.

During his adjudication, the Adjudicator shall give adequate opportunity to the Project Implementation Unit to present his case. Within 60 days after receiving the representation, the Adjudicator shall make and notify decisions in writing on all matters referred to him. During the adjudication proceedings, the parties shall not initiate any conciliation, arbitral, or judicial proceedings in respect of a dispute that is the subject matter of the adjudication proceedings. If not satisfied by the decision in adjudication, or if the adjudicator fails to notify his decision within the abovementioned time-frame, the Project Implementation Unit may proceed to invoke the process of Mediation as follows. 16.4 Mediation 16.4.1 Any party may invoke Mediation by submitting “Notice of Mediation” to the Director General, ESIC. A neutral third party, known as the Mediator, facilitates the mediation process. If the other party is not agreeable to Mediation, the aggrieved party may invoke Arbitration. 16.4.2 The Mediation Act: The Mediation shall be conducted as per The Mediation Act 2023 (as amended time to time) 16.4.3 Appointment of Mediator(s): e) Mediators can be of any nationality and must be registered with the Mediation Council of India (MCI) or empanelled by a court-annexed mediation centre or empanelled by an Authority constituted under the Page 116 of 142 Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987 or empanelled by a mediation service provider (MSP) recognised by MCI. f) Within 30 days of receipt of the “Notice of Mediation”, the Director General, ESIC shall propose names of three likely mediators from its panel, asking the other party to choose one as Mediator. The mutually accepted mediator shall then be appointed to conduct mediation. g) If parties do not agree on the mediator, they can approach a mediation service provider ("MSP", recognised by MCI), who shall appoint a mediator based on the suitability and preferences of the parties within 7 days. h) Independent External Monitors (IEMs) can be appointed as mediators, as per the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) issued by the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC). i) After a mediator is appointed, they must disclose any conflict of interest. Either party can seek a replacement of the Mediator after such disclosure. 16.4.4 Venue: Mediation must be conducted within the territorial jurisdiction of the Court, which has jurisdiction to decide the dispute unless both parties agree to do it online or at any other place. 16.4.5 The Process: a) The Mediator independently and impartially encourages open communication and cooperation between disputing parties to reach an amicable settlement, but he does not have the authority to impose a settlement upon the parties to the dispute. The parties shall be informed expressly by the mediator that he only facilitates in arriving at a resolution of the dispute and that he shall not impose any settlement nor give any assurance that the mediation may result in a settlement. b) Unlike court proceedings, Mediation is informal and flexible and allows for creative problem-solving and exploration of various solutions. The Code of Civil Procedure or the Bhartiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BS), 2023 shall not be binding on the mediator. The parties can determine the mediation’s venue, manner, and language. c) Confidentiality: All the acknowledgements, opinions, suggestions, promises, proposals, apologies, and admissions made during the mediation; acceptance/ willingness to accept proposals in the mediation; documents prepared solely for the conduct of mediation are strictly confidential. These can neither be relied upon as evidence in any subsequent court proceedings nor be asked to be disclosed by any court/ tribunal. No audio or video recording of the mediation proceedings shall be made or maintained by the parties or the participants, including the mediator and mediation service provider, whether conducted in person or online, to ensure the confidentiality of the mediation proceedings. d) Online Mediation: The Act allows parties to opt for online/ virtual Mediation, which shall be deemed to occur within the jurisdiction of a competent court. The Act also requires online mediation communication mechanisms to ensure confidentiality. Page 117 of 142 e) The mediator initially meets the parties separately and communicates the view of each party to the other to the extent agreed upon by them. He assists them in identifying issues, advancing better understanding, clarifying priorities, exploring areas of the parties’ responsibility, identifying common interests, and encouraging compromise. He then meets them jointly to encourage a mutually acceptable resolution. At any stage of the mediation proceedings, at the parties’ request, the mediator may suggest a dispute settlement in writing f) Termination of Mediation: The process must be completed within 120 days, though parties can extend it by another 60 days through mutual consent. If Mediation is not completed within this timeline, the Mediator shall prepare a non-settlement report without disclosing the cause of non- settlement or any other matter or thing referring to their conduct during mediation for the parties or the Mediation Service Provider (MSP). Mediation shall also stand terminated on a declaration of the mediator, after consultation with the parties or otherwise, that further efforts at mediation are no longer justified or on communication by a party(ies) in writing, addressed to the mediator and the other parties that they wish to opt out of mediation. On termination of Mediation, if the dispute is still alive, the aggrieved party shall be free to invoke Arbitration. g) Mediated Settlement Agreement (MSA): If the parties resolve the dispute and execute a mediated settlement agreement (“MSA”), then the Mediation is successful. An MSA is a written agreement settling some or all disputes and may extend beyond the disputes referred to mediation. It must be valid under the Indian Contract Act, signed by both parties, and duly authenticated by the Mediator for the parties or the MSP. The Act provides options for MSA registration. During the pendency of proceedings, parties can also execute other agreements, settling some of the subject matter disputes. h) Challenge to MSA: MSA can be challenged within 90 days on limited grounds of (a) fraud, (b) corruption, (c) impersonation, and (d) subject matter being unfit for Mediation. i) Execution of MSA: If there is no challenge or a challenge is unsuccessful, the Act ensures that the MSA is binding and enforceable, akin to a judgment or decree. This means that if one party fails to comply with the MSA, the non-defaulting party has a right to enforce it through the Court. j) Costs: The parties shall equally bear all costs of mediation, including the fees of the mediator and the charges of the mediation service provider. k) No claim of Interest during Mediation proceedings: Parties shall not claim any interest on claims/counter-claims from the date of notice invoking Mediation till the execution of the settlement agreement if so arrived. If parties cannot resolve the dispute, either party shall claim no interest from the date of notice invoking Mediation until the date of Termination of Mediation Proceedings. Page 118 of 142 l) The parties shall not initiate, during the mediation proceedings, any arbitral or judicial proceedings in respect of a dispute that is the subject matter of the mediation proceedings. 16.5 Arbitration Agreement If an amicable settlement is not forthcoming, recourse may be taken to the settlement of disputes through arbitration as per the Indian Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 [Amended 2015 and 2021]. 16.5.1 This agreement a. This Arbitration Agreement (hereinafter referred to as this “Agreement”) relating to this Contract (hereinafter called the “Main Agreement” for this agreement) is made under the provisions of The Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, as amended from time to time and the rules thereunder (hereinafter called The Arbitration Act).

If a Micro or Small Enterprise, being a party to dispute, refers to the MSMED Act 2006, these provisions shall prevail over this Agreement. However, if an arbitrator has already been appointed under this agreement before the appointment of a conciliator/ arbitrator by the facilitation council, the arbitrator already appointed under this agreement shall continue to perform the duties including on matters related to delayed payments. Such an arbitrator shall be deemed to be the arbitrator appointed by the facilitation council. None of the parties shall approach the facilitation council to appoint an arbitrator once an arbitrator under this agreement has already been appointed. 16.5.2 Notice for Arbitration Authority to Appoint Arbitrator(s): a. For this Arbitration Agreement, ‘The Appointing Authority’ to appoint the arbitrator shall be Director General, ESIC and includes if there be no such authority, the officer who is for the time being discharging the functions of that authority, whether in addition to other functions or otherwise. b.
