6 Bidders for Delhi – Meerut RRTS’ E&M Package 10

Six construction firms / consortia have submitted bids for architectural finishing and commissioning electrical & mechanical (E&M) systems at seven elevated stations of the 82.15 km Delhi – Meerut RRTS Line, after officials from the National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) opened tenders minutes ago to reveal its list of bidders.

NCRTC had invited tenders (bids) for Package 10 in May 2020 funded by the Asian Development Bank (ADB). They estimate it to cost $13.75 million (Rs. 101 crore) and expect the assigned contractor to complete work in 1610 days (4.4 years) from when the contract is awarded.

Bidders:

• Canon Fasteners
• Dineshchandra R Agrawal Infracon Pvt. Ltd.
• Globe Consort JV
• Quality Buildcon Pvt. Ltd.
• Sam India Builtwell Pvt. Ltd.
• URC Construction Pvt. Ltd.

Tender No: Package 10 – DM/AC/COR-OF/115

Scope: Architectural Finishing for 7 Elevated Stations (viz. Sahibabad, Ghaziabad, Guldhar, Duhai, Partapur, Rithani, Shatabdi Nagar) and Design Verification, Detailed Engineering, Supply, Installation, Testing and Commissioning of Electrical and Mechanical Systems including Fire Detection & Supression Systems and Hydraulics Systems from Sahibabad UP Ramp to Duhai (EPE) and Partapur Station to Shatabdi Nagar DN Ramp of Delhi – Ghaziabad – Meerut RRTS Corridor.

The bids have now been sent for technical evaluation which can take a couple months to complete. When that is done, the financial bids of the technically qualified bidders will be opened to reveal who’s the lowest bidder and most likely contractor.

Things on the 18 km priority corridor (Sahibabad – Duhai) are moving along nicely with an aim to start operations by March 2023. Late last month, Sam (India) Builtwell emerged as the lowest bidder for Package 12A which involves erecting steel roof structures on 4 of the above 7 stations at Sahibabad, Ghaziabad, Guldhar, and Duhai currently under construction by KEC – CCECC JV (Package 1) and APCO – CRFG JV (Package 2).
