At present, GMDA has floated tenders that invite online offers for jobs that are expected to cost around Rs 2.61 Crore and completed in four months.
“Tender who is looking for online offers through e-tenders for the project was warried earlier this year.
However, two or three institutions applied to the work found not qualifying, so we floated again,” JS Sindhu, traffic engineer for the GMDA Mobility Division , say.
The proposal to increase 106 intersections was discussed at the GMDA Core Planning Cell (CPC) meeting in July.
After the CPC recommends these steps, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Sud-Hir Rajpal has directed that 35 to 40 intersections “maximum priority” must be identified and work on “priority”.
