The studies and recommendations of feasibility study will form the Preliminary Project Report (PPR), as described in Para 3.6.4. On approval of PPR, if one has been commissioned, or otherwise if it has been dispensed with, a Detailed Project Report (DPR), as described in Para 3.6.5, will be prepared, again through a consultant who could be different from the one who had prepared the feasibility study report, but should preferably be the same. In this, standards, design parameters and specifications will be precisely laid down along with technology and quality standards to be followed. Detailed drawings, bill of quantities, detailed cost estimate will also be prepared.
(f) The DPR shall be accepted as per the procedure prescribed in Para 3.10.

description, standards and specifications, terms and conditions of the agreement, rights and responsibilities of the parties, remedies, implementation schedule, amount of earnest money (bid security), and the period of validity of the bid, etc. The bid documents will be formally approved by the tender accepting authority before inviting tenders.

(b) The Feasibility-cum-Preliminary Project Report should as a minimum establish and evaluate the following:

(vi) Preliminary design and detailing of the project
(vii) Financial appraisal of the project profitability, including sensitivity analysis
