BUIDCo has invited item-rate bids for the Hajipur sewerage network and sewage treatment plant scheme under AMRUT 2.0 in Bihar, estimated at ₹224.88 crore, with bids closing on 24 August 2026.
Scope of the Hajipur package
Bihar Urban Infrastructure Development Corporation Ltd. is procuring the sewerage network and STP for Hajipur as one item-rate contract under the central AMRUT 2.0 mission. The estimate is ₹224.88 crore and the reference number is BUIDCo/Yo-3538/2026 (Part- 02)-54 (Gr-04). Bids opened on 3 August 2026 and the window is short: submissions close on 24 August 2026, with opening the following day at the BUIDCo office on West Boring Canal Road in Patna.
A town sewerage scheme of this size is trench-heavy work. The bulk of the value sits in laying sewer mains and branch lines through built-up streets, building pumping stations, and constructing the treatment plant itself. Hajipur sits on the Gangetic alluvium near the Ganga and Gandak confluence, so a high water table and shoring requirements usually shape both the method statement and the rates.
Contractors who should look at this
The package fits a water and sanitation EPC contractor with sewer network and STP experience, and it carries enough length to keep several subcontract crews working in parallel on different reaches. EMD is ₹2,34,88,000 against the ₹224.88 crore estimate, and the tender fee is ₹1,18,000. Payment runs through the internet payment gateway, challan or bank guarantee. Bid validity is 120 days and withdrawal is not allowed once submitted, so price the risk before you upload.
Note the deadline. Twenty-odd days from publication to close is tight for a package of this value, particularly if you are assembling a joint venture or arranging the bank guarantee. Start the portal registration early rather than in the final week.
Equipment the site will need
Sewer work rewards owners of the right mid-size fleet rather than the biggest machines. Backhoe loaders do the day-to-day trenching through narrow town roads, and excavators take over for deeper reaches, manhole pits and the STP foundations. Tippers keep the spoil moving, since urban sites have nowhere to stack it. Compactors are needed for trench backfill in layers, and reinstating the road surface afterwards. The treatment plant end brings its own demand: concrete mixers or a batching setup, and cranes for tank shuttering and equipment lifts.
Dewatering capacity is worth planning for separately here. On alluvial ground near two rivers, pumps often run through the working shift on every open trench.
