The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) will float fresh tenders for concretising the city roads by the end of November, said civic officials, adding that the cost for the same would be 20 per cent more than what it was in the previous process.
In August this year, the BMC had floated a Rs 5,800 crore-tender for concretising 397-km road in Mumbai to mitigate pothole problems across the city. However, the civic body on November 1 scrapped that tender, citing low response from bidders. Senior officials had attributed the low response from bidders mainly to the stringent eligibility criteria for bidders laid in the tender process.
