Dehradun is tendering a 10 MLD water treatment plant at the Bandal river head, worth ₹26 crore, with bids closing on 15 September 2026.
What the job covers
Uttarakhand Jal Sansthan has put out a package that pairs a new treatment plant with a reorganised supply network. The plant is rated at 10 million litres a day and sits at the Bandal river head, which feeds a good part of the Dehradun system. Alongside it, the scheme reorganises the existing distribution arrangement in the district. Reference number is 957/E-Nivida(Bandal)/2026-27 dated 18 August 2026, and the contract is priced item wise rather than as a lump sum, so your rates carry the risk on quantity variation.
Who this suits
Earnest money is ₹52,00,000, which works out to exactly 2 per cent of the estimate, and the tender fee is ₹5,900 paid offline. Two covers, 90-day bid validity, withdrawal allowed. A river-head treatment plant is a mixed job: civil structures for the clarifier, filter beds and clear water sump, plus the mechanical and pipework side. Firms that have built water treatment capacity in the hill districts will read the site access problem correctly. One thing to note before you price: a corrigendum issued on 5 September 2026 moved the dates, so download the revised notice rather than working off the original.
Machines on site
Excavators do the bulk of the work here, cutting the plant platform and the trench runs for rising and distribution mains. On a Bandal river-head site the ground is likely to mix boulders with river material, so a rock breaker attachment earns its keep. A backhoe loader handles the smaller trench work and the day-to-day movement around the plant. Compactors settle the platform and the backfill over the pipe runs, and tippers carry spoil out on hill roads where turning room is tight. Concrete for the filter beds and the sump needs either a site batching arrangement or a dependable ready-mix supply, since Dehradun deliveries can be slow in the monsoon tail.

What does an item wise contract mean for my pricing?
You quote rates against each BOQ item instead of one lump sum. Quantities can move during execution and you get paid on measurement, so the risk sits on your rates rather than on the total.
Has the deadline changed?
Yes. A corrigendum was issued on 5 September 2026 extending the date. Read the revised notice on the portal before you submit, because other terms may have moved with it.
What is the earnest money and can it be waived?
Earnest money is ₹52,00,000, exactly 2 per cent of the ₹26.00 crore estimate. The notice does not record an exemption, so plan on depositing it in full.
