Pauri Sewer Tender: Trunk Line, a 1 MLD STP and Nala Interception on DBOT

Uttarakhand Peyjal Nigam has put a trunk sewer line, a 1 MLD sewage treatment plant and the interception of Pauri town’s nalas into one design, build, operate and transfer contract, and the Pauri sewer tender closes at 5:00 PM on 12 November 2026.

Pollution abatement for Pauri in one package

The work description on the portal sets out pollution abatement works for Pauri Nagar Palika Parishad: interception and diversion of nalas, one sewage treatment plant of 1.00 MLD capable of handling 29.00 KLD of faecal sludge on any suitable technology, and all appurtenant structures, alongside the trunk sewer line for the town. The Superintending Engineer, Construction Circle, Pauri Garhwal, under the Chief Engineer of Garhwal Zone, is the inviting authority, reference 2009/v-12/55 dated 22 October 2026.

Leaving the technology to the bidder is the part worth noticing. DBOT contracts put the design choice and the running cost on you, so a plant that is cheap to build and expensive to operate will cost you the operation period. Faecal sludge co-treatment also means tanker receiving arrangements on a hill site where space is the binding constraint.

What the portal leaves open

Tender value shows as NA. The EMD is ₹52,37,000, which suggests an estimate near ₹26.18 crore at the usual 2 per cent, and that figure should be read as an indication rather than a number to bid against. The tender fee is ₹11,800. The portal also lists the period of work as 90 days, which is short for a design, build and operate package of this kind, so confirm the construction and operation periods from the bid document before you commit a schedule.

Pauri district already has a water scheme out for bids in the Srinagar Pauri drinking water tender, and Pithoragarh has its own sewage and STP tender out. For treatment plant comparisons, Uttarkashi has the Barkot STP tender and the plains have the Jaspur STP and sewer tender.

Compact machines, difficult access

Sewer work in a Garhwal hill town is trenching on narrow roads with buildings on both sides. A backhoe loader does most of the digging because a larger machine cannot turn, and a compact excavator handles the deeper trunk sections and the nala crossings. Shoring matters here more than speed; a collapsed trench in a built-up lane stops the job for weeks.

The plant site needs benching and retaining work, then tank concrete from transit or site mixers depending on access, and a pick-and-carry crane to set the pumps and blowers. Backfill compaction along the restored lanes calls for small plate and walk-behind compactors rather than a full roller. Contractors already working around Srinagar and Pauri have the local knowledge this kind of job rewards.
