Bhubaneswar (Metro Rail News): Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) declared SYSTRA MVA Consulting (India) as the preferred bidder for the Detailed Designed Consultant contract of the Bhubaneswar Metro Phase 1 project, Package BCDD-01.
Under package BCDD-01, the appointed contractor will be responsible for drafting a design standard for two precast elements, which include U-girders and pier caps, and bearing for Bhubaneswar Metro’s Line 1. This line runs 26.04 km from Biju Patnaik Airport to Trishulla Square via an elevated section comprising 20 stations.
Bidding Process
In May 2024, DMRC floated the tender for the DDC contract at an estimated cost of 97.02 lakh, with a 36-month deadline. When DMRC opened the technical bids on June 4, SYSTRA was identified as the sole bidder of this consultant contract.
However, SYSTRA’s bid, Rs.1.042 crore, exceeded DMRC’s budget by 7.40%. After negotiating with DMRC, SYSTRA placed a revised bid of Rs 1.012 crore, which was later accepted by DMRC’s tender committee. This indicates that the contract will likely be awarded to SYSTRA in the coming days.
The viaduct construction for Bhubaneswar Metro’s Line 1 will be carried out through three packages: BBC-03, BBC-04, and BBC-05.
