Rawalpindi: The Rawalpindi Development Authority (RDA) has decided to hire a consultant to perform the third-party valuation of the Rawalpindi Ring Road project – a component of the economic corridor, according to news published on July 24.
Reportedly, the RDA – being the executing authority of the ring road project – has initiated the process to hire a consultant. The consultant will offer recommendations needed to finalise the infrastructure’s details including the route of the economic corridor. The final decision regarding these recommendations and proposed changes will be taken by the relevant authority and the Planning Commission.
It is important to mention here that as per Section 59E of the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA) Rules, RDA could only award the contract for this venture to government-run construction firms, which is why the authority has awarded the contract to Frontier Works Organisation (FWO) for PKR 22.80 billion. Under the details of the contract, FWO will develop a 38.8-kilometre-long route from GT Road Banth to Thalian Motorway Interchange in two years.
