Regarding the construction of River Bridge only 5.13 Ares of land is required to be acquired from 2 stake holders and we had already received the advance procession certificate from both the stakeholders. Accordingly, we had revised the estimate and requested KIIFB for granting permission to tender the work vide letter dated 06.09.2022. Vide dated 28.12.2022 KIIFB had given permission to go ahead with the tendering process. Generally bridge portion is tendering as Lump sum mode and the design has prepared by the Contractor after award of the work. But vide G.O.(Ms) No. 34/2022/PWD dated 02.12.2022 Government had directed to follow G.O.(P) No 30/2016/Fin dated 29.2.2016 which stipulates item rate tender for all future work. Since this is a small work, we had instructed the PMC M/s RITES on 04.01.2023 to prepare and submit the design drawings for tender the work as item rate. The design submitted to IIT for vetting on 08.08.2023. Design and drawings approved by IIT and the same with revised estimate was submitted to TS committe on 27/12/2023.
