The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) eliminated the provision of a joint venture for participants to bring quality bids from big players in the road construction work, a civic official told The Indian Express.
The official explained that due to the JV provision in tenders, small companies used to come together and bag the contract. The BMC has always been criticised over the bad quality of roads in Mumbai despite having an adequate budget.
According to the BMC, it floated five tenders, one in the city, one in the eastern suburbs and three in the western suburbs for improving the existing roads into cement concrete.
