Calling to redo the proposal due to “technical flaws”, the PCMC chief on Monday cancelled the Rs 750-crore tender process for mechanised road sweeping.
A corporator from the ruling BJP, Seema Savale, had alleged illegalities and attempts by top politicians to grab the tender through proxy contractors.
Municipal Commissioner Shravan Hardikar said, “The tender for mechanised road sweeping has been cancelled. We will redo the proposal and again put it before the civic general body for approval.”
The PCMC chief said, “Before publishing the modified tender, we should have got it ratified by the civic general body, which we did not. When we first placed it at the meeting, we inadvertently put the words, ‘Request for Proposal (RFP)’, which related to giving minute details of the proposal.
