Bangalore Development Authority floats 74km PRR tender for second time
BENGALURU: Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) has floated a fresh tender for constructing the 74km Peripheral Ring Road (PRR).
On March 31, the authority invited tender bids for the PRR connecting Tumakuru Road and Hosur Road under a public-private partnership model. But before the pre-bidding meeting, BDA officials scrapped the tender invite citing technical glitches. Now for the second time, the tender has been floated, without altering the terms and conditions.
BDA commissioner Rajesh Gowda said the tender process was scrapped as investor companies had sought more time to study the feasibility and survey land for the project, and there was also no clarity on fixing compensation for acquiring land. “Companies at the pre-bidding meeting sought two months for the study and the government gave them three months.
