Chandigarh Floats Rs 49.9 Million Tender for Road Repairs

The Chandigarh Municipal Corporation (MC) has issued a tender worth Rs 49.89 million for urgent road repairs ahead of the monsoon season. The tender aims to address potholes and damaged patches on roads under Road Division No. 1, following incidents of surface failures and cave-ins due to pre-monsoon rains.
Last week, a 35-tonne truck sank into a caved-in road in Sector 43, raising concerns about road conditions across residential sectors and prompting the Corporation to act swiftly. The repair work, which includes pothole filling and resurfacing using ready-mix bituminous cold material, must be completed within four months.
Eligible contractors registered with the MC, CPWD, or other government engineering bodies can bid through the e-procurement platform. The tender mandates an earnest money deposit of Rs 99,786 and requires bidders to have prior experience, GST registration, financial solvency, and adherence to CPWD quality standards.
Priority will be given to key stretches near schools, hospitals, and high-traffic areas. The MC Engineering Department has directed contractors to begin work immediately upon receiving work orders to ensure timely repairs before peak monsoon intensifies. Debris disposal must be managed in line with designated protocols.
RK Garg, president of the Second Innings Association, welcomed the move, saying, “This is a timely intervention to mitigate road safety risks during the rainy season.” Civic groups have also stressed the importance of long-term planning to avoid recurring infrastructure failures.
