Rajasthan PHED has opened a ₹232.30 crore Bharatpur water supply tender, Package 3 of the Chambal Dholpur Bharatpur retrofitting work under Jal Jeevan Mission, closing 17 September 2026.
What Package 3 covers
This package retrofits the existing Chambal Dholpur Bharatpur scheme to deliver functional household tap connections in villages across five blocks: Roopbas, Uchhain, Bharatpur, Sewar and Kumher. Overhead reservoirs for those villages sit inside the same scope. The notice carries a one year defect liability period followed by ten years of operation and maintenance, so whoever wins stays with the asset well past commissioning.
Retrofitting is different work from a greenfield scheme. Much of the trunk infrastructure already exists, and the job is extending distribution into villages, building or upgrading storage, and connecting households. That means long runs of pipe laying through settled areas, road crossings, and a lot of small structures rather than one large headworks.
Who this is written for
At ₹232.30 crore on a percentage rate basis with three covers, PHED is looking at contractors with Jal Jeevan Mission delivery behind them. The bidder history on this circle mixes national names with Rajasthan pipeline specialists, which tells you the qualification bar is real but not closed. Earnest money is ₹4,64,60,147, exactly 2 per cent of the estimate, with exemption allowed for firms holding the relevant registration. The tender fee is ₹50,000 and payment mode is offline.
The ten year operation and maintenance tail is the part to price carefully. It brings steady revenue, but it also means you carry pumping, leak repair and water quality obligations for a decade across five blocks. Contractors who treat it as a construction job with a warranty tend to lose money on it.
Equipment the work absorbs
Village distribution networks run on trenching and backfill. Backhoe loaders do most of the daily work, with excavators on the deeper mains and rock reaches. Tippers shuttle spoil and bedding material, plate compactors and small rollers close the trenches, and reinstatement of village roads brings in a compactor again. Overhead reservoir construction adds concrete mixers, hoists and a hydra crane for shuttering and staging. Dewatering pumps earn their keep wherever the water table is high.
