Two bids were received for the construction of a flyover at NAD Kotha Road on the last day on Monday.

The bids have been invited on Engineering-Procurement-Construction contract. In the EPC procedure, the contractor has to submit designs with the parameters stipulated like lane width, gradient number of vehicles that will pass, speed etc. for the flyover.

VUDA Vice Chairman P.Basant Kumar said that the EPC procedure would have flexibility for designs and we expect improvements from what a Chennai based agency did last time. VUDA intends to raise resources afresh for the flyover estimated to cost around Rs.150 crore. Though big companies tried to bid they failed to obtain board approval for taking up a work of a lower estimation. Once, the bid is awarded, the agency will have 18 months to complete the project.
