Renovation and rehabilitation of District Secretariat Block No. 2 at D.C Office Jacobabad is a significant construction project managed by the Executive Engineer Buildings Division Jacobabad. This project involves dismantling existing brickwork, cement concrete, and tiles, followed by extensive RCC work including roof slabs, beams, columns, rafts, and lintels.

The site is located in Jacobabad, Sindh, and requires careful management of materials such as cement, sand, shingle, and steel to meet the structural and aesthetic requirements. Contractors must be registered with the Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) in category C-6 or above and have a proven track record with at least three years of experience in similar works. Financial stability is crucial, with an average annual turnover matching or exceeding the estimated cost, supported by audited financial statements aligned with FBR records. Compliance with tax regulations, including registration with Income Tax, Sales Tax, and Sindh Revenue Board (SRB), and being on the Active Taxpayer List (ATL) is mandatory. Contractors should also provide a credit line certificate from a scheduled bank for at least 25% of the estimated cost.

Pro-Tip: Ensure all bid documents are paginated, signed, and stamped properly.
