The Capital Region Development Authority (CRDA) announced the roll-out of tenders for major capital city projects, aiming to revitalize the region with financial support from the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank (ADB). The CRDA plans to complete the tender process by the end of January, with work scheduled to begin by February 1. Phase I of the projects is estimated to cost approximately Rs 23 billlion.
To expedite the process, CRDA has divided the projects into multiple packages. These include works for roads, drains, sewage facilities, utility ducts for power and ICT, a reuse waterline, and avenue plantations in the Land Pooling Scheme (LPS) areas of Nekkallu and Sakhamuru in zone I. The total cost for these works is Rs 4.49 billion.
Similarly, works in the LPS layouts of Nekkallu and Sakhamuru in zone 1B will require Rs 5.88 billion. Additionally, renovation projects for MLA and MLC quarters, including architectural finishes, plumbing, electrical fittings, lifts, and landscaping between towers, are estimated at Rs 4.33 billion. These quarters, originally constructed between 2014 and 2019, were left incomplete, leading to substantial damage. The CRDA now plans to refurbish these buildings to meet modern standards.
In response to the city鈥檚 flooding issues, CRDA will also undertake flood mitigation projects, with an allocation of Rs 4.7 billion. Moreover, the authority aims to complete smart trunk infrastructure works, including roads, drainage systems, water supply networks, utility ducts, pedestrian tracks, and avenue plantations along N9 road in Amaravati, with an estimated cost of Rs 3.82 billion.
The deadline for submitting bids is set for January 22, with technical bids being opened on the same day. Financial bids will be opened only for firms that successfully clear the technical evaluation. The comprehensive projects are expected to significantly improve the infrastructure and living standards in Amaravati, contributing to its growth as a modern city.
