Gurugram, Oct. 8 -- Two weeks after the Haryana government refused to approve the separate tenders for construction of a water treatment plant (WTP) and storage tanks at Basai, the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) on Tuesday said that it has floated a single tender for execution of this project and the bid will be opened on October 28. The tender floated by the authority includes construction of a 100 MLD water treatment unit and two large storage tanks with the capacity of 360 kilolitre each, said a senior GMDA official. "The authority has floated a tender for Rs.166 crore to construct the WTP and storage tanks. A single tender has been floated to ensure that large companies with expertise in such projects also come forward to bid for such projects. This will ensure that such projects are executed timely as smaller firms have comparatively lesser technical and financial ability to take up complex projects," the senior GMDA official said, adding that this project will be constructed over 77 acres of land of the authority at Basai. Earlier on September 12, Haryana chief minister Nayab Saini during a high powered purchase committee meeting of the Haryana government had cited irregularities in the tender process, and did not approve the separate tenders floated by GMDA, following which the authority decided to combine the works and float a single tender. The GMDA on Tuesday also floated a tender for constructing a sewage treatment plant (STP) of 100 MLD capacity at Dhanwapur. GMDA said it has also floated a tender for constructing a Rs.191 crore worth STP and main pumping station at Behrampur with 100 MLD capacity....
