Lahore: The Lahore Development Authority (LDA) has announced a new deadline for the submission of bids for the Johar Town theme park project — a news source reported. Earlier, developmental work on the park had been stopped in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic; with the new deadline being set for May 5.
The previous deadline for the bidding prequalification process
had been set for March 2, but the LDA officials had later decided to extend the
date. Now the decision has been made to relaunch the process.
PEC-registered third-category firms will be able to
participate in the prequalification process. The tenders will be awarded as a
result of this process.
The cost of the project according to its PC-1 has been estimated at more than PKR 330 million — with the LDA expected to finish the project within six months by utilizing its own budget. The authority plans to allocate funds for the project sometime during FY2019-20.
The reportedly 141 kanal park will have a jogging track,
open gym, and courts for basketball and tennis. The park will also have a
paintball arena and food court, among a number of other facilities.
