Subject: Procurement of Welding Electrodes and Filler Wire for PATA Plant.

Background :-
M/s Gail has a petrochemical plant in Pata. All the sub units of this plant are in operational
state.

Main body:
Gail petrochemical complex has many different sub units where temperature & pressure varies from
negative to very high temperature & pressure. For this type of variation in temperature and pressure
different specifications and ratings of piping and fittings are used in different sub units. For above
mentioned types of pipes and fittings, different types of electrodes and filler wires are required for
welding.
Considering these facts it is prudent to have sufficient numbers of different welding electrodes and
filler wires to meet any exigency in the plant due to failure/leakages in pipe joints. This proposal is for
procurement of Welding electrodes and filler wires to be used in various sub units of Petrochemical
Plant Pata during suitable available opportunity. The requirement of central workshop is also
included.

Recommendation:
Keeping in view of the safe, smooth and uninterrupted operation of Petrochemical plant, it is
proposed to procure the welding rods and filler wires for the welding job to avoid any unforeseen
situation due to leakages in piping.

Financial Implication:
Total financial implication for the procurement of welding rods based on the offer received from M/s
Ador Fontech through mail dated 25.08.2017 and M/s Nivek Agencies vide Quotation No.: MTC
NA/17-18/529Q, dated: 10.08.2017 (Annexure-1) is Rs 18,15,011 excluding all taxes & duties and Rs
22,50,083.65 inclusive of all taxes, duties and freight (ref Annexure-2).

Budget Provision:
Budget provision is kept in BE 2017-2018 under head spares for purchase of mechanical spares.

Financial Concurrence:
Financial Concurrence is required as per DOP clause no. 6.1.1(iii), for the procurement as the value is
more than Rs 5 lacs.

Approving Authority:
As per DOP clause no. 6.1.1(iii), Senior Manager is competent authority for approving the subject
proposal.

Point wise clarification of F&A:-

1. As most of the items were procured on contingent basis, so no accurate
consumption pattern can be derived from SAP for most of the materials.
(Consumption pattern attached).
2. These welding electrodes and filler wires are of special type required for higher
alloy steel and stainless steel. These items are not included in AMC contract.
