Electro-Resistivity Survey for Ground Water Aquifers Exploration at NGIAP Gwadar

This tender invites qualified contractors in Gwadar to conduct an electro-resistivity survey for exploring ground water aquifers under the Pakistan Airports Authority (PAA). The scope involves detailed geological and geophysical work to identify subsurface water-bearing formations up to 700 meters deep. The work requires deploying advanced electro-resistivity equipment capable of penetrating deep underground layers to provide accurate data on lithology and water availability. The site at NGIAP Gwadar presents unique challenges due to its geological complexity and remote location, demanding experienced personnel and robust equipment. Contractors must submit analysis reports in both hard and soft copies. Bidders should be registered with the Pakistan Engineering Council in the appropriate category and maintain an active taxpayer status with FBR. The tender requires submission of valid NTN certificates, proof of at least three similar completed surveys in the last three years, and CVs of geologists or geophysicists with a minimum of five years' experience. Compliance with PEC and FBR requirements for the 2025-26 financial year is essential to avoid disqualification.
