CPWD invites bids for ₹3,269-cr secretariat buildings
The Central Public Works Department (CPWD) has invited bids for the construction of three new office buildings under the Common Central Secretariat project along Rajpath in New Delhi costing ₹3,269 crore. A provision of ₹139 crore has been kept for maintenance for the next five years. These buildings will accommodate the offices that are currently in Shashtri Bhawan, Krishi Bhawan and Nirman Bhawan. Vacating Shashtri Bhawan is a top priority as the new convention-cum-conference hall on the lines of Vigyan Bhawan will be built there. The construction work of these buildings will have to be completed in 24 months from the date of start of work and they will come on the plot where the Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts is currently located. Going by the timeline, there is a probability that the entire Common Central Secretariat would be completed only in 2027. The government will not demolish all the existing structures in one go. According to the bid document, the CPWD will hand over the construction site to the contractor within 22 days of the issuance of a letter to start work. The contractor may have to execute the work in three shifts with large manpower of workers, supervisors and professional engineers. Also, adequate numbers of highly skilled artisans are required for works of teak wood doors work, stone masonry, carving and furniture. The buildings will have white and red stones for cladding, teak wood, carving work, jalis, white and green marble, lakha red and black granite for flooring. As this is a mega project, the successful bidder in collaboration with CPWD will also have to arrange on-site skill training for at least 30% of unskilled workers.
