The BBMP has floated the fourth tender to complete the Ejipura flyover, which remains incomplete even after six years.
The project has become a symbol of the BBMP’s inefficiency to complete big infrastructure projects on time. It was been stalled for nearly two years after the previous contractor failed to carry out the work even after the deadline was extended multiple times.
As per the new tender, the remaining work is estimated at Rs 143.80 crore.
The cost estimate was the main reason why the BBMP’s previous tender failed as the lowest bidder had quoted around 40% more than the estimates provided by the civic body. It’s not sure whether the civic body will succeed in getting a lower bidding price this time.
