Consignee for sl 2 will be MO(PBR). Prices must be quoted on door delivery basis inclusive of all charges. However, breakdown of charges is to be given. 7. Vendors are advised to indicate separately, the cost of transportation of each type of fender from the OEM’s premises to the port of embarkation and thereon from the port of embarkation to Port Blair. 8. For the purpose of deciding L1, each type of fender will be considered as a separate item and the overall order can be split among different vendors, based on L1 price. 9. All taxes and the amount on which they are applicable are to be shown clearly, even if exemption certificate is being sought. 10. The specifications/ drawings forwarded earlier are to be disregarded. 11. Inspection will be done by the nearest office of DQA(N), as per approved

QAP. QAP to be collected from the office of DQA(N) or if not available, to be

prepared by OEM and submitted to DQA(N) before commencing manufacture, for

approval. Technical queries on inspection may also be sought from nearest office of

DQA(N) (located at Bengaluru, Mumbai, Secunderabad, Chennai, Kochi, Kolkata,
