Contractors must ensure the use of approved materials like bitumen and aggregates meeting AASHTO standards, and employ mechanical means for compaction and finishing to achieve the required density and surface quality. Bidders must be registered with PEC in the appropriate category and discipline, and hold valid registration with tax authorities including FBR and Sindh Revenue Board. The tender requires submission of bid security in the form of a Call Deposit Receipt (CDR) from a scheduled bank, and compliance with all financial and technical documentation including audit reports and machinery availability. The project is funded by the Government of Sindh and follows the Sindh Public Procurement Rules 2010. The submission deadline is set for 10:00 AM on 30th March 2026, with bid opening at 11:00 AM the same day at the office of the Executive Engineer, Provincial Highways Division Dadu, near Sikandar Petroleum Service.

Pro-Tip: Ensure all bid documents are properly numbered, signed, and stamped as per tender instructions.

Missing the E-stamp paper requirements or failing to submit original instruments before bid opening can result in rejection.
