This project involves a detailed site survey and risk evaluation in accordance with NFPA 780 standards to ensure the safety and protection of critical assets including storage tanks, buildings, control rooms, gantry, and solar areas within the depot. The scope of work includes conducting a site risk assessment, developing detailed site layout drawings (top view and elevation) for the proposed lightning arrestor system, and preparing a complete report with recommendations. The vendor will also provide a Bill of Quantities (BOQ) and material specification sheets for the suggested equipment. The assessment will classify protection levels and design approaches, offering flexible options based on the terminal's layout and budget. Eligible bidders should have relevant PEC category registration and must be registered with FBR and ATL. Experience in similar lightning protection consultancy projects is essential. The contract duration is 30 days from the issuance of the Purchase Order. Earnest Money and CDR requirements will be as per PSO's procurement rules. The Technical Bid must be submitted by the deadline of 30th June 2026. Interested parties should carefully review the instructions and ensure compliance with all HSE protocols mandated by PSO. The submission address is the Pakistan State Oil Company Limited, PSO House, Khayaban-e-Iqbal, Clifton, Karachi. A practical tip for bidders is to ensure the site visit and risk assessment are thoroughly documented with clear layout markings and elevation drawings, as these are critical for the acceptance of the final report by the Terminal Engineer. Early coordination with PSO's Facility Engineer can help clarify any technical queries and avoid delays in approval.
