RDA Re-Invites Bids for Third Party Validation of Rawalpindi Ring Road

The Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) intends to reinvite bids from potential companies for third-party validation of the Rawalpindi Ring Road.

In order to re-advertise the proposal, the RDA Committee wrote to the Planning and Development Board (P&D).

In the letter, RDA encourages the authority to endorse either re-advertising the idea on the media platform to seek bids from local firms, or contact foreign companies for the project.

According to the details, the authority advertised for companies so they could determine an optimal route alignment (Phase-I) and land use plan along the economic corridor route (Phase-II) approved by the third party.

In addition to this, two companies submitted bids and both were rejected for technical reasons after review.

It is important to note that the Rawalpindi Ring Road project was launched in March, however, the development work has not yet started.

This 38.3 km long highway project costs PKR 33.7 billion which includes PKR 27 billion for construction and PR 6.7 billion for acquiring the land.
