Rudrapur Storm Water Drainage Tender, Uttarakhand (₹390.39 Cr)

Uttarakhand’s irrigation department has tendered the Rudrapur storm water drainage work at ₹390.39 crore on item rate, with bids closing on 4 September 2026.

Read the title, then read the commercials

The notice is worded as a detailed project report for the GIS-based storm water master drainage plan for Rudrapur city in Udham Singh Nagar district, phase one. On the wording alone it reads like a planning study. The commercial shape says otherwise: the estimate is ₹390.39 crore, the product category is Civil Works, the form of contract is item rate with a priced BOQ, and a BOQ corrigendum was issued on 10 August. A study does not get a ₹390 crore item-rate BOQ. The bidder pool on this authority and work type is local civil contractors rather than consultancies.

So this Rudrapur storm water drainage tender should be read as drainage construction carrying the master-plan programme name, and the NIT is where you confirm exactly how much of the value sits in plan preparation versus execution. Anyone bidding needs to settle that question from the documents before pricing, and it is the single most important thing to check on this one.

The rest is straightforward. EMD is ₹4,16,00,000, roughly 1.07 per cent of the estimate. The tender fee is ₹5,900, bids run in two covers with 90-day validity, submissions open 20 August and close 4 September 2026, and opening follows on 5 September at Rudrapur. The work is tendered by the Superintending Engineer, Irrigation Works Circle, under the Chief Engineer for Irrigation and Flood, Kumaun, at Haldwani.

Who this is written for

Urban drainage at this value suits mid-sized civil contractors with municipal pipeline and box-drain experience, and the bid history on this circle is dominated by exactly that profile. Raj Construction, Purnagiri Construction, Suresh Kumar Jain and a handful of other Udham Singh Nagar names win most of the work here, which tells you the field is regional and the relationships are established.

Three sibling packages under the same notice reference cover Khatima, Kashipur and Sitarganj, all closing the same day. A contractor who can mobilise two crews should be looking at the set rather than one city, because the specifications will be common and a second win costs far less in overhead than the first.

The machines urban drainage runs on

Storm water drainage in a built-up city is trenching work above all. Excavators and backhoe loaders open the drain lines, and in Rudrapur’s congested sections the machine that matters is the one that can work in a narrow road width without shutting the street. Tippers cart the spoil out, usually at night in the busier wards.

Where the design uses cast in situ box drains, concrete volume follows quickly, so transit mixers and a batching plant within reasonable haul become part of the plan, along with concrete pumps for the deeper sections. Precast segments, if the drawings call for them, bring in cranes for placement. Soil compactors do the backfill in layers, and once the line is closed the road above has to be restored, which puts small rollers and paving crews back on the same stretch. Dewatering is a constant on the Terai water table, so pump capacity belongs in the price.
