Spurred into action by the report, the planning authority has invited tenders for the completion of internal work. Confirming the development, MMRDA Joint Project Director Dilip Kawatkar said, “We have invited tenders for the completion of interior works in the new MMRDA office that is coming up in BKC.”


The tender states that the successful bidder will be providing and executing interior, furniture and other civil works for MMRDA’s office building. The tenders will be made available from August 1, and e-tenders will be opened on 30 August. Significantly, the tender notice mentions that the successful bidder must complete the work in eight months, including the monsoon.

The pre-bid meeting is scheduled in the MMRDA’s engineering division on August 14. The bidder will have to pay an earnest money deposit of Rs 25.8 lakh. The total cost for the interior works is pegged at Rs 25.80 crore.

The tender notice also mentions that bidders should have successfully completed at least one interior and modular furniture work in the past three financial years, for any government, semi-government or reputed corporate (MNC) office building, costing equal to or more than Rs 12 crore. The bidder should also be an established manufacturer of modular furniture.u00a0
