Three station yards on the Rishikesh to Karanprayag rail link need staff housing built, and the RVNL staff quarters tender closes on 14 September 2026 at ₹119.59 crore.
What the job covers
Rail Vikas Nigam wants one contractor to build staff quarters plus GRF and RPF establishments at three yards on the new broad-gauge link: Yog Nagari Rishikesh, Srinagar and Gauchar or Karanprayag. The work sits under the Moradabad Division of Northern Railway and falls in Uttarakhand. Reference number is RVNL-RKSH-BLDG-TNDR-3-25 and the estimate on the portal is ₹119.59 crore. This is a works contract, and the document set runs to a technical proposal, a price proposal and a separate drawing volume for the GRF and RPF buildings.
Who should bid
Earnest money is ₹2,39,00,000, almost exactly two per cent of the estimate, with no tender fee. Two per cent on a nine-figure building package points at a firm that has already delivered railway or PSU housing rather than a local contractor stepping up. The terrain is the part that decides your price. Srinagar and Gauchar sit deep in the Alaknanda valley, so access roads, material haulage and a short working season matter more than the built-up area. Anyone who has worked the Char Dham corridor already knows what monsoon does to a schedule here.
Machines you will need
Hill sites mean cut and fill before anything vertical starts, so excavators with rock breakers and a backhoe loader for services do the early work. Tippers move spoil on narrow ghat roads, where a smaller body and a good brake beat payload every time. Concrete arrives by transit mixer or gets batched on site, with a concrete pump for upper floors. Compactors handle the platform and approach areas, and a hydraulic mobile crane covers steel, shuttering and precast.
