Cluster VA: four towns, one contractor

The Tripura Urban Planning and Development Authority (TUDA) has invited bids for comprehensive water supply improvement works for Jirania, Panisagar, Kamalpur and Teliamura, which it calls the Cluster VA towns. The reference is 77CECPEETUDAWSVAADB202627 and the Executive Engineer, TUDA, at UD Bhawan is the inviting authority.

The towns are spread from West Tripura to the far north of the state, so the contractor runs four sites at once. The period of work is 1,095 days. The portal lists the form as item rate, while the title describes a design, build and operate contract, so read the conditions for how operation is paid.

Bid security and timetable

EMD is ₹1,58,40,000, the fee is ₹20,000, and there is no exemption. A pre-bid meeting was held on 25 September. Bids open at 3:30 PM on the closing day.

TUDA has also floated roads and storm water drainage tenders for its town clusters, closing on 30 October. On the highway side, NHIDCL’s Udaipur Sabroom NH-08 tender closes on 8 October and the Indo-Bangladesh border link road tender on 14 October.

Four fleets, not one

Each town needs its own small set of machines because moving plant between them takes hours on hill roads. Per town, plan on backhoe loaders for pipe trenches, an excavator for intake and treatment plant pits, concrete mixers for reservoirs, and a crane for pipes and pumps. Local machine owners in each town are the practical source, and the long monsoon means work bunches into the dry months.
