A check dam on the Ragda Nala in Jharkhand’s Seraikela block is out to bid, closing 14 July 2026 — small EMD, quick turnaround, and a job that runs on excavators and concrete.
The work
Jharkhand’s Water Resources Department (Seraikela Minor division) wants a check dam built on the Ragda Nala under the Seraikela block. Check dams are compact water-harvesting structures — a masonry or concrete barrier across a stream to slow runoff, recharge groundwater and hold water for the dry months. This is a third-call notice on a percentage-rate contract, so the department is keen to award. Note one thing before you price it: a corrigendum flags that the BOQ amount was mentioned in error, so treat the headline value as under revision and work off the corrected documents.
Machines for a stream job
Small footprint, familiar kit. Excavators clear and shape the stream bed and abutments, tippers move spoil and bring in aggregate, and a concrete crew with a mixer handles the barrier, apron and wing walls. Dewatering pumps keep the working face dry. It’s a tidy job for a local contractor with one or two machines rather than a full fleet — which is exactly what makes it worth flagging for owners in the Seraikela-Kharsawan belt.
The numbers
The EMD is a light ₹1.66 lakh with exemption allowed, and the tender fee ₹10,000. With bids closing 14 July, the window is short, so pull the corrected documents and confirm the revised value early.
