Special Repair Works on Pakhtunkhwa Highways from Indus Highway to Makin

The Pakhtunkhwa Highways Authority (PKHA) in Peshawar is procuring special repair works on various highway sections in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The tender covers multiple packages including repair works from Indus Highway to Kohat Cantt, Kohat to Kacha Pakha, Sarozai to Thall, Hangu Bypass Road, D.I Khan to Hathala, Hathala to Tank including Khirgi Jandola Bridge, Jandola to Sararogha, Qureshi Mor Darya Khan to Kotllajam, and Sararogha to Makin. These works involve road repair and maintenance over stretches ranging from 8 km to 50 km, focusing on improving highway infrastructure and connectivity. The technical scope includes civil repair works on highways, requiring contractors registered with the Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) in categories C-5 and C-6 or above. Bidders must be active taxpayers registered with the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Revenue Authority (KPRA) and submit original call deposits and CDRs as earnest money. The tender follows the Single Stage One Envelope procedure via the EPAD system, with bids submitted electronically and original documents delivered to the Deputy Director Procurement office at PKHA, Peshawar. Eligibility criteria emphasize PEC registration in relevant categories, FBR/ATL registration, and experience in highway repair works. The estimated cost for individual packages ranges from PKR 10 million to PKR 50 million, with bid securities and tender fees specified per package. The submission deadline is strictly enforced, with bids opening 30 minutes after closing in the presence of the procurement committee. A key tip for bidders is to ensure timely submission of both electronic bids and original call deposits/CDRs to avoid disqualification. Careful attention to the detailed rate analysis and bid security requirements is essential, as bids quoting more than 20% below the engineer's estimate require additional security. This tender offers a significant opportunity for contractors specializing in road infrastructure within Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to engage in substantial highway repair projects under the management of PKHA.
