The Regional Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS), Imphal, has issued an open tender for the installation of 1.4 MW grid-connected rooftop solar photovoltaic systems across its campus under the RESCO mode. The project will be implemented through an empanelment-based contract and falls under the goods category, with solar power plants listed as the main product category.
According to the tender, the selected bidder will be responsible for the complete scope of work, including the design, engineering, procurement, construction, testing, and commissioning of the rooftop solar systems, along with grid connectivity and net-metering approvals with the respective power distribution companies. The contractor will also provide warranty coverage, operation and maintenance services for the installed capacity over the 25-year power purchase agreement term, including replacement of modules, inverters, and spares, as well as insurance and meeting annual capacity utilization factor performance guarantees.
“The scope of work encompasses the design, engineering, procurement, construction, testing, and commissioning of rooftop solar systems, as well as grid connectivity and net-metering approvals with the respective power distribution companies,” RIMS stated in its tender documents.
