Three bidders submits DDC contract for Kanpur, Agra Metro Line 2

16 Feb 2022 CW Team

Three companies submitted bids for the Detailed Design Consultant (DDC) contract for the second corridors of the 32.385 km Kanpur Metro and 29.40 km Agra Metro Phase 1 projects on February 11, 2022.

It is the first essential phase in the tendering process for the new lines that will predominantly include elevated stations in both cities. After that, Uttar Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation (UPMRC) is expected to spin their development off, into a new phase titled Phase 1B or something similar.

The DDC’s duty usually comprises developing and recommending alternate designs for all civil, architectural, building services, electrical, and mechanical works, among other things. In November 2021, the UPMRC will invite proposals for this consultation service, with a budget of Rs. 35.57 crore, and hopes the consultant stays on for at least 4 years.

The work comprises the Engagement of a Detailed Design Consultant (DDC) for Civil, Architectural and E and M Works for Corridor-2 of Kanpur Metro Rail Project, at Kanpur, and Corridor-2 of Agra Metro Rail Project, at Agra.

The proposals have now been forwarded for technical review, which could take several months. After that, the technically qualified bidders’ financial bids will be issued to indicate the lowest bidder and most likely consultant.

The consultant will build designs and collaborate with Technica Y Projectos, S.A. – Italferr S.P.A JV (General Consultant) and civil contractors to make the designs a reality after the agreement is bagged.

Because the 11 km Line-2 of the Lucknow Metro was a no-go due to ridership concerns and the state government’s decision to concentrate on other cities, it will take some time before civil work on the Agra and Kanpur metros’ second lines commences.
