at a distance of about 20m.
Besides annual maintenance
closures of Kahna Minor, the

Percentage of DM water
As there is not enough

hydrogeololgy information about the
canal, design scheme is based on
that the water intake and discharge
will not influence the water quality
and hydrologic condition of canal.
After the hydrogeololgy information
about the canal received, the design
base on it will be updated with cost.
Waste water after treatment from
the plant will be discharged into the
canal during drought period of
canal, assuming minimum dilution
1:10 ratio (one cubic meter treated

water).
Please kindly confirm if there is
existing deep well which can be
used for the project. And provide
the data (capacity, depth, diameter,

No cost update is permitted after

submission of Bid. Bidder may visit
the canal and satisfy itself regarding
the design requirement. All study

The complete text of clause 44.1

addresses the concerns of SEPCO III
regarding financial close within 120
days and responsibility of PPDCL
for financial close. The clause 44.1 is
re-produced for clarity purposes;
Signing of Contract will be
subject to the achievement of
Financial Close which shall be
within 120 days from the date of
Notification of Award. However,
the Employer and Bidder may
mutually agree to extend the
period to achieve Financial Close.
The Employer shall fulfill all the
requirements deemed necessary
to achieve Financial Close as per
the
terms
and
conditions
prescribed by the Financial
Institution. Upon achievement of
Financial
Close, The Employer will send

So in the light of clause 44.1 the

following explicit conclusions
can be drawn;
104.
ITB 14.7: The Bidder shall provide a

detailed Financial Model
Which should include the
following:
We understand that preparation of

financial model is generally the
responsibility of the Employer. In the

) for the assumptions. We would like
to highlight here that the minimum
size of plant considered in NEPRA's
UFT is 220MW (gross) and the
assumptions given in UFT are
almost irrelevant to a 2x55MW Plant.
In such conditions it would be almost
impossible to prepare a financial
model without proper inputs and
assumptions. We request you to
kindly share the financial model of the
project with us you have prepared so
we could take further action
accordingly.
The CAPEX, O&M cost and

financing are also integral and
significant components of financial
model. Therefore, PPDCL cannot
share financial model pursuant to
principles of transparency and
relevant
regulatory
statutes.
However, our financial advisors will
provide guidelines and / or training to
bidders
regarding
conceptual
modalities of financial model.

100% ash quantity of 30 years of the
power plant in the tender documents,
hydraulic ash removal and dry ash
removal are used for ash removal
system and the soil is not allowed to
be sampled in the ash yard.
According to the calculation, the ash
quantity of 30 years of the power

If the ash removal system is changed
to dry ash removal, it can only
increase a part of ash storage volume
but also can reduce the dam body

In addition: According to the
