NMC reinvites ‘Ram Kal Path' bids after lukewarm response

Nashik: The Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) on Thursday refloated the tender for the 'Ram Kal Path' project inviting tenders from private agencies for the second phase of the work amounting to Rs 74.8 crore, after receiving a lukewarm response to its initial bids. The Ram Kal Path project involves developing a 1.3km stretch from Ramkund to Kalaram Temple and Seetagumpha. After a poor initial response, the civic body has refloated the tender for the Rs 74.8-crore project, hoping for better participation this time. If a contractor is finalised soon, work is expected to begin promptly, given the project's deadline of Sept next year, civic official said. Prashant Pagar, a senior official from the public works department of NMC, said four contractors had filed their bids, but three were disqualified. "Hence, we took the second call for inviting the bids. This time, we are expecting good response from the contractors for the project," he said. The civic officials said various beautification works were to be undertaken under the project to make the entire stretch an attraction for tourists. "Deepstambh, sculptures, fountains, laser shows and wall paintings along the roads, and other beautification works are to be carried out there. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Indonesia: New Container Houses (Prices May Surprise You) Container House | Search Ads Search Now Undo The entire area is to be revamped from the tourism point of view," another official said. The total cost of the project is estimated at Rs 99.14 crore, which is to be funded by Centre. So far, NMC has received Rs 65 crore, while the remaining funds are to be disbursed as the work progresses. In the first phase of Rs 22.55 crore, conservation and renovation works will be undertaken of the ancient temples and structures' façade along the Ram Kal Path. NMC has already finalised the contractor for the first phase of the project through the tender process. Simhastha Kumbh Mela is held every 12 years in Nashik when lakhs of sadhus and devotees take a holy dip in the Ramkund during the religious conglomerate. The upcoming Kumbh Mela is slated to be held between 2026 and 2028. Hence, NMC wants to complete the Ram Kal Path project before the Kumbh Mela begins. The flag hoisting of the Kumbh Mela is to be held in Oct next year. In June, the civic body had decided to increase Ram Kal Path's width to 9 metres. In May, NMC had set aside Rs 23 crore on renovating structures' façade along the corridor. In April, NMC sought additional funding for project and also decided to demolish six wadas to pave.
