Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation to develop 12 model corridors

HYDERABAD: The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has initiated steps to develop 12 model corridors covering a length of over 15 km in five zones in GHMC limits to provide better mobility and smooth travel on major roads in the city.

These model corridors will include a three-lane main carriageway adjacent to the central median and a six-metre service road adjacent to the main carriageway, with a kerb demarcating both these roads and wide footpaths for pedestrians.

Work on these corridors will begin shortly and the period of completion is four months with defect liability period for two years. A few of the stretches are under Comprehensive Road Maintenance Programme (CRMP) maintained by private agencies.

As per government orders, first right of refusal will be given to the Comprehensive Road Maintenance Contract (CRMC) agency to execute the work at quoted percentage of lowest bidder participated in the tender. 

In the event of refusal by CRMC agency, the work will get implemented by GHMC through Lowest-1 (L-1) bidder at his quoted rates duly following due procedure and rules. The lowest bidder will not have any right on this work in case the CRMC agency agrees to execute this work.
