South Eastern Railway Bridge & Quarters Tender at Baripada, Odisha

South Eastern Railway has opened a ₹69.81 crore tender at Baripada in Odisha for new railway quarters and four Open Web Girder bridges, with bids closing on 5 August 2026.

What the Baripada contract covers

This contract bundles two very different jobs under one bid. On the buildings side, the railway wants new staff quarters put up at Baripada in Mayurbhanj district. On the structures side, the same contractor takes on four Open Web Girder (OWG) bridges, including a 30.5 metre span at Bridge No. 83, plus two composite bridges. The reference number is 4645-GRC-CE-C-SO-27-2026 and the estimated cost is ₹69.81 crore. For a single bidder that means running a building crew and a steel-bridge crew at the same time, which is exactly the kind of mixed scope a larger contractor is built to handle.

Who this tender suits

This one is aimed at EPC firms and bridge contractors who have erected steel girders before. Open Web Girder work is not routine building work. It calls for fabrication, launching and heavy lifting experience that a general civil firm may not have on its books. The earnest money is ₹1.40 crore, so you also need the financial standing to block that amount well before the price bid opens. There is no tender fee, which trims the entry cost a little. If your firm has done railway formation or bridge jobs for a Railway zone in the past, your eligibility papers are probably close to ready.

Machines you will put on site

Plan for cranes to handle girder lifting and erection, backed by piling and foundation rigs for the bridge substructure. Concrete work across the quarters and the bridge decks needs batching support, transit mixers and vibrators. Earthmoving machines such as excavators and backhoe loaders will dig the foundation pits and grade the site. Owners who hire out cranes and concrete equipment to Railway contractors should find steady utilisation on a job of this size, and it is worth lining up your rates early.
