Structcon Awarded Nagpur Metro Phase 2’s Design Consultant Contract DDC-04

The winner of another Detailed Design Consultant (DDC) contract is now known to me. Back in December 2023, Structcon Designs was awarded a Rs. 24 lakh contract for Package DDC-04 of 43.8 km Nagpur Metro Phase 2 project by Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Ltd. (Maha-Metro).

This low-value package DDC-04’s scope includes providing design consultancy services for the small 1.7 km long at-grade section of Nagpur Metro Orange Line’s 18.7 km Reach 1A (Khapri – Butibori MIDC ESR). The at-grade section connects chainage 19550 to 21296.917 with two metro stations named Eco Park Station and Metro City Station.

Maha-Metro had invited bids for this consultancy service in October 2023 with an unknown estimate and contract duration of 1 year.

Technical bids were opened in November 2023 to reveal 3 bidders and financial bids were opened in December 2023.

Financial Bid Values

Firm	Bid (Rs. lakh)
Structcon Designs	24.00
LKT Engineering Consultants	27.50
L&T Infrastructure Engineering	30.00

Contract Award Date: December 29, 2023

MahaMetro’s Brief Scope: Detailed Design Consultancy (DDC) services for at-grade section of Reach-1A for length of approx. 1669.417 m (Ch 19550 to Ch.20421.016 and Ch. 20498.516 to 21296.917) of Nagpur Metro Rail Project Phase-II

Structcon will be responsible for producing and proposing alternate designs of all civil, architectural, building services, electrical and mechanical works for both Eco Park Station and Metro City Station.

Here’s a table (best viewed on a Desktop) with the status / contractor of each of Nagpur Metro’s design packages. Interestingly, Structcon was technically disqualified from DDC-03‘s tendering process in December 2023.
