A new fire station and staff quarters at Ramol-Hathijan in east Ahmedabad is out to tender at ₹41.02 crore, with the deadline now 17 September 2026.
What is being built
Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation’s Building Project Department is bidding a fire station together with staff quarters at Ramol-Hathijan, on final plot 115-1 in town planning scheme 76, in the Ramol ward of the east zone. A fire station is not an ordinary municipal building: it needs wide apparatus bays with clear headroom, a drill and training area, a hose tower, and vehicle turning that works under an emergency call. The residential block alongside it changes the programme too, since staff quarters bring their own services, water supply and parking. The document set is three volumes, covering the technical bid and general conditions, the detailed technical specification with drawings, and the financial bid.
Deadline and terms
This one has already moved once. The closing date was 8 September 2026 and now stands at 17 September, so work from the current notice on the portal rather than any earlier copy you may have downloaded. The corporation publishes no earnest money and shows the tender fee as nil on the notice summary, which means the deposit conditions are inside the technical bid volume. Withdrawal is not allowed. The portal files this under a maintenance category, which is an artefact of how the department is coded on the state system rather than a description of the work: the scope text is plainly new construction.
Plant for a building package of this size
At ₹41 crore across a station and quarters, this is a structures job with a real substructure. Excavators handle the foundation excavation and the site levelling, and a backhoe loader covers the service trenching, drainage and the general running around that a two-block site generates. Concrete is the main spend: transit mixers and a concrete pump, with ready-mix from Ahmedabad’s plentiful supply rather than a site batching plant unless the pour schedule demands it. A hydraulic mobile crane lifts steel, shuttering and the long-span elements over the apparatus bays, which is where the structure differs from a plain residential block. Compactors work the approach roads, the drill yard and the backfill.

Issuing authority
Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation, Building Project Department
Yes. Bid submission was due on 8 September 2026 and now closes on 17 September. Use the live notice on the portal, because the state system published the change without a separate corrigendum document.
Why does the portal list this under a maintenance category?
That is how the issuing department is coded on the state system, not a description of the work. The scope is construction of a new fire station and staff quarters at Ramol-Hathijan.
What makes a fire station different from a normal building job?
The apparatus bays need clear span and headroom for appliances, there is usually a drill yard and hose tower, and the vehicle movement has to work at emergency speed. Those elements shape the structure and the site layout more than the floor area does.
What deposit do I need to budget?
The notice summary shows no earnest money and a nil tender fee. The actual terms are in the technical bid volume, so download it early rather than assuming the deposit is waived.
