Desilting of Open and Covered Drains in Allied Areas in WASA Gujrat

Water and Sanitation Agency Gujrat is inviting bids for the desilting of open and covered drains in various zones within WASA Gujrat. This procurement is specifically for contractors registered with the Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) and also registered on the E-PAD platform as per Government of Punjab directives for the financial year 2023-24. The scope of work includes cleaning and desilting drains in multiple allied areas to improve water flow and sanitation conditions. The technical scope requires bidders to upload earnest money in the form of a CDR amounting to 5% of the estimated cost in favor of the Deputy Director Engineering WASA Gujrat. Original CDR must be submitted half an hour before bid opening to avoid disqualification. The tender opening will be conducted on the same day as bid submission through the E-PAD system. Contractors must ensure all submitted documents are genuine; any false submissions will lead to blacklisting and further action by PPRA and PEC. Eligibility criteria include valid PEC registration, FBR/ATL registration, and relevant experience in similar civil sanitation works. The tender closing date is 14th July 2023 at 12:30 PM, with bid opening at 1:00 PM on the same day. Bidders should carefully prepare their technical and financial bids and ensure timely submission via the E-PAD portal. A practical tip for bidders is to double-check the validity and authenticity of all documents, especially the earnest money CDR, as failure to submit original CDR on time will result in disqualification. Early preparation and submission on the E-PAD platform will help avoid last-minute technical issues and ensure compliance with all tender requirements.
