Contractor has to immediately complete the disposal of facilities falling under area from boundary wall. The contractor’s obligations for completion of entire job will be as per tender terms & conditions. At the time of dismantling of facilities, the contractor has to provide separate temporary fencing at his cost so that even after handing over part land to Govt. Authorities for their construction activities, other facilities are demarcated, and any encroachment from unauthorized authority / people are avoided. The contractor has to make their own arrangements for safety and security during the entire operations of disposal activities.

31

The entire job must be completed as above, but not exceeding 16 weeks from the date of authority letter as shown above, failing which appropriate action as deemed fit will be taken in line with the general terms and conditions of the auction tender. The successful bidder has to surface & level the complete area after shifting all the materials. All debris are to be removed from site. For leveling the ground to one level and filling up all trenches of under ground tanks or any low level or trenches, all debris, earth, rubble, bricks, mortar etc. salvaged from dismantling are to be used. The bidder has to arrange and bear the cost of dismantling, loading, unloading & transportation of materials to his / their place. After excavating / removing the underground tanks, pipelines etc. the same are to be filled up with available material or material brought from outside if required at contractor’s cost and risk in particular for filling up of under ground tank trenches etc. Dismantling of Underground pipelines in the Railway siding area from decantation header / manifold sections and up to BPCL depot compound wall needs Railways permission for dismantling / excavation etc which are to be obtained by the Purchaser only. However, BPCL may provide any assistance if required to the Purchaser in obtaining such permissions. After excavation, etc. the area is to be filled back and brought to original condition to the satisfaction of the BPCL and as directed. All safety precautions as stipulated by BPCL are to be followed at the time of disposal of facilities both inside and outside BPCL depot premises / compound wall. Any damage to the Corporation’s or Third Party’s properties during removal of the items will have to be made good by the successful tenderer at their own cost. The Corporation reserves the right to claim from the contractor any expenses which might have been incurred by it over and above the EMD by way of restoring damages caused to properties belonging to the Corporation / Third Parties by the action of such contractor’s or their men. Party has to make his own arrangement for power connections to cut the tanks or lighting or any other purpose. BPCL shall not provide any power connection. The depot disposal as per scope mentioned shall be sold in one lot only for each depot on “As is where is basis”. However, since there are both Ferrous and Non–Ferrous material for which VAT rates varies, the lump sum rate quoted by you shall be proportionately broken as under in case of disposal of Depot: 90% of the lump sum rate shall be levied @ % VAT rate considered for Ferrous scrap & 10% of the lump sum rate shall be levied @ % VAT considered for Non - Ferrous items. Decision of BPCL in regard to applicability of VAT as per above break up of lump sum rate quoted would be final and binding to the successful bidder and bidders can not claim / dispute on this matter. No invoice / challan will be issued by BPCL for each truck of materials to be removed since the entire materials are being disposed on lumpsum single lot basis.

Proper material stockyard should be made and all material should be staked / arranged / kept in orderly manner with proper moving space for handling machinery. * Proper warning boards / signs shall be provided when machineries like cranes hoists are being operated. * Brakes, clutches of winches shall be checked on regular basis. Chains, ropes belts shall be inspected and repaired / changed as necessary. * All moving part of the material handling equipment must be provided with suitable guards. * Lifting ropes should be inspected for kinking, loose wires, high strands, corrosion, nicking, lubrication, change in diameter / cross section. * Slings and other lifting materials which are not suitable for use should be promptly withdrawn and destroyed. * Lifting chains should be inspected for bent links, cracks in weld areas or any other section of link, trasverse nicks and gauges and corrosion pits. * Elongation of the lifting chain link due to over loading should be inspected before using it. * For lifting hook, if the throat opening exceeds 15% of the normal opening, it should be replaced. When inspecting the hook, measurement must be made between the shank and narrowest point of the hook opening. * A chain used for lifting should not be spliced by inserting a bolt between two links. * Strain should not be put on a kinked chain. * Hammer should not be used to force a hook over a chain link. * A safety hook fitted with a latch to prevent displacement of loads should only be used for material handling / lifting. * IS:7293-1974 (Code of Practice for Working with Construction Machinery) shall be referred for further safety measures. Cranes : * All works involving the use of crane shall be properly planned in advance and the following shall be ensured. * The crane is capable of lifting the load. Safe load capacity should be clearly marked on jibs, winches, pulleys, slings and ropes. All job cranes should have an automatic safe load indicator which alerts the operator.

* The condition of the ground at the crane location is satisfactory to support the crane and the load. * The rotation of the cab and, therefore the boom is not restricted-suitable matting or plates are available to protect underground services and paving. * All slings shackles, hooks etc. are of correct rating and in good condition. * Cranes and lifting equipments must be inspected and carry a valid test certificate issued by an accredited testing agency. * Crane hooks etc. are to be fitted with properly functioning safety clips to prevent displacement of the sling from the hook during the lift. * Driver of the crane must be watchful and must ensure before driving the vehicle either forward or reverse that no one is near the wheel of the vehicle and no one is trying to climb the vehicle while moving. * Crane operators and signalers must be over the age of 18 trained and sufficiently experienced. There should always to a signalman or a signaling system such as a telephone, if the crane operator cannot see the load throughout the lift. Hand signal shall be clear and distinct and shall follow recognised code or system. Workers must be use safety shoe and helmet. They are also required to wear gloves and other PPE for handling of some special materials. * Raising, lowering and braking of jib should not be done abruptly in order to prevent it from snapping. * All vehicles used by the contractor shall be in worthy conditions and in conformance to the land transport requirements. Cranes should be tested and examined by a competent person for its wear and tear. * No part of the crane or crane load should be closer than 4 Mtrs. to live overhead. * For movement of crane or other material handling equipment ramp gradient should not exceed 1 in 10. * No person should be allowed to stand or work under lifted load. * All drivers shall hold a valid driving license for the class of vehicle to be driven. Manual Handling : Assistance should be obtained if the load is too heavy or awkward for manual handing. Clear walkway to the destination and safe stack should be ensured before handing the load manually. Following procedure should be followed while lifting the load manually. * Stand close to the load on a firm footing and with feet about 30 am apart. * Bend the knees and keep your back as straight as you can.

Clothing should be such that it allows easy movement of arms and will not catch in machinery or on a load. • The successful bidder of the said depot assets will assume full responsibility for demolishing and dismantling the said facilities and it’s removal from the corporation’s land ,whether through his own employees or through contract labour. It should also be a condition of the tender documents that consequent upon the sale of the said depot assets, the depot shall cease to be the corporation’s “establishment”, as that expression is defined in the Building and other construction workers act’1996,and if the successful bidder employs 50 or more building workers for the demolition of the said facilities, he as the “employer” in relation to the said establishment will ensure full compliance with the said act ,including section 44 & 45 thereof. Upon the cancellation of the factory license and the slump sale of the assets of the said depot, the storage and distribution of petroleum products is no longer carried on in the said facilities. The successful bidder or purchaser of the said depot assets, who demolishes the said facilities with the intention of selling the various items from the depot as scrap for his own benefit, cannot be regarded as a “contractor” as that expression is defined in the contract labour (regulation & abolition act,1970, Similarly, the workmen engaged by the successful bidder or purchaser of the said depot assets for carrying out the work of demolition, cannot be regarded as contract labour under the said act. In the circumstances, no sooner the property in the assets of the depot facilities is transferred to the successful bidder or purchaser, the corporation can not be regarded as the “principle employer” under the said act, in as much as the Corpn. has ceased to continue the work of the establishment viz. The storage and distribution of the petroleum products in the concerned depot. • Under the Environment (protection) Act, 1986 read with Hazardous waste (management & handling) rules,1989, the “occupier” in relation to the depot facilities is obliged to ensure that all hazardous waste are properly handled and disposed of without any adverse effects which may result from such wastes and is also responsible for proper collection, reception, treatment, storage

or disposal of these wastes either himself or through the “operator of the facility”. Since the corporation is governed by the said act and rules and highest bidder / purchaser of the depot assets is not the occupier generating hazardous, it is incumbent on the corporation to continue its practice namely handing over the site to the successful bidder, the product including the sludge / vapour and gas etc is completely removed as per the Company’s operating procedure. It may also be appreciated that the highest bidder/purchaser may fail to take any safeguards to protect his employees or the employees of a contractor engaged by him or the public at large from the toxic or poisonous effects of the residual sludge / vapour or gas.
