b) Price Bid

i. The order allotment will be finalized by BPCL by taking into account the
following:

 Discount quoted on the LBMA AM Gold Rate


 Other cash outflows that shall include Import/Custom/Excise duty,
incidental charges and delivery charges to each location
 Amount of advance payment sought
 Delivery Period quoted

ii. “Net cost to BPCL” shall be calculated by using the following formula:

NDP = {((GR*[995/999]*WC*[1 – d/100]*Q*Ex) + [Q*ID*1000] + [IChg* Q])


*(1+ED/100)}*[1+ ST/100] + + Loading for advance payment

where,

GR = LBMA AM rate of Gold as on the due date of this tender [in USD per troy
ounce]
WC = Weight conversion factor [1 kg = 32.150747 troy ounces]
d = discount rate quoted/negotiated [in %]
Q = Weight of 995 fineness Gold to be supplied [= 14.602 kg]
Ex = Currency Exchange rate, equal to SBI BC selling rate as on the due date
of this tender
ID = Import/Custom duty [in Rs. per gm]
IChg = Incidental charges (inclusive of the cost of getting the coins Hallmarked)
quoted [in Rs. per kg]
ED = Excise duty [in %]
ST = Applicable Sales Tax/VAT [in %]
Frti = Delivery charges quoted for location “i” [in Rs. per Gold medallion]
Ni = No. of Gold medallions delivered to location “i” [Total = 2222 numbers]

A factor will be added to the delivered cost of material to bring parity in price bid
evaluation for the different percentage of advance payment sought by the bidder.
The formula for calculating this loading factor would be as follows:

Loading for advance payment = {((GR*[995/999]*WC*[1 – d/100]*Q*Ex) +


[Q*ID*1000])*(1+ED/100)}* [1+ ST/100] * proportion of advance payment
requested *(16.05/100) x (delivery period quoted +10)/365

iii. Bidders may have to attend the concerned office of the Corporation for
negotiations/clarifications if required at their own cost, in respect of their
quotations without any commitment from the Corporation.
