Deadline for Mumbai road contract bids pushed to October 27
The bidding for 440 km road contracts that was supposed to open on October 21 has been extended till October 27 on account of Diwali. Since bids have not been opened, bidders can make their submissions till October 25, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) said.
Following instructions from Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, the BMC has called for five tenders to convert roads into cement concrete ones. The aggregate amount of the contracts is more than Rs 5,000 crore.
Of the five tenders, one each is for the city and eastern suburbs and the other three are for the western suburbs. This is being done to attract contractors with experience in making national and state highways to improve the overall road quality in Mumbai.
