The works are intended to strengthen pedestrian crossings and improve visibility at junctions and approaches to schools and commercial zones.

Contractors will be required to comply with technical standards and safety protocols specified in the tender documents.

The tender document sets out eligibility criteria, timelines and evaluation norms and indicates that the procurement will follow standard municipal procedures.

The civic body said bids would be opened after the submission deadline and that award decisions would consider experience and technical capability.

The contract will include performance parameters, maintenance obligations and penalty clauses to ensure sustained benefits after completion of works.
