3 Expression of Interest (EOI) 1 Introduction and Project Overview 1.1 Ministry of Railways (Railway Board) have tasked RITES Ltd (a public sector undertaking under Ministry of Railways of the Government of India, also referred as RITES ) for setting up of 2 Pilot Plants for disposal of Municipal Solid Waste in an environment friendly manner. This EOI is issued to collect information from interested vendors for setting up pilot plants on Build operate & maintain basis, for a period of at least 10 years, after which IR may decide to extend it further on mutually agreed terms. 1.2 On Indian Railways, substantial amount of municipal solid waste (MSW) is being generated by passengers, visitors, vendors and staff. The solid waste consists of biodegradable as well as non-degradable materials. 1.3 At present the solid waste thus generated is transferred to nearest designated location of Municipality. In this transfer process considerable efforts & physical transportation are required. However, the delay in transfer also causes early degradation leading to unhygienic circumstances within the railway premises. 1.4 In order to deal with such types of situations the solid waste can be disposed at source location in an environment friendly manner. One such solution is conversion of solid waste into useful byproducts like electricity, gas etc., helping in disposal of waste in environmental friendly manner. 1.5 Accordingly, Indian Railways have decided to set up pilot plants for disposal of municipal solid waste (MSW) in an environment friendly manner. It is proposed to set up pilot plants for handling waste generated at two locations viz New Delhi station area/nr, and Jaipur station area/nwr by 31 st March 2016 on top priority. Proposed capacity for handling waste is 20t per day at New Delhi station area and 5 t per day at Jaipur station area. These are estimated figures and subject to further verification. RITES/IR will provide all the support required by them in any such effort. 1.6 The proposed plants will take care of all types of solid waste generated at railway station area. IR shall provide land on O&M Rights/license fee basis, upto around 1000 metre square, in the vicinity for setting up the waste handling plant. Proposals with less land requirement will be preferred. 1.7 The information so obtained will be for use of RITES and IR in context of the Project. 2 Objective of the EOI 2.1 RITES under the guidance of office of Member Mechanical intend making the Technical specification and tender documents in cooperation with companies/firms which are operating in this field. 2.2 The purpose of this EOI is to serve as the first step in that process as it solicits information on waste to energy (WTE) conversion technology. At the same time this EOI provides the opportunity for companies/firms to assist RITES and IR in gathering technical information pertaining to setting up of Pilot Plants for disposal of MSW in Page 3 of 11
