For the first time in the history of the city's road construction, 400 km of roads will be concreted by companies that have constructed national highways. According to municipal commissioner, Iqbal Chahal, the letters of intent will be sent to them. He praised chief minister Eknath Shinde and deputy chief minister Devendra Fadnavis for having the vision to make Mumbai pothole-free. The companies Nagarjuna Construction Company Eagle Infra India Roadways Solutions India Megha Engineers & Infrastructure and Dineshchandra Agrawal Infracon are anticipated to receive the two-year mega-contract for road concreting.

According to Chahal, a new tender to concrete 375 km would be floated later in March. This is the final call for bids for cement-concrete roads. With this Mumbais 2,000 km of roads would be completely concreted he said. Roads made of cement concrete are designed to endure 25 years. High-definition CCTV cameras will be installed and connected to BMC servers for 247 road monitoring to ensure quality. Five contracts to build cement-concrete roads in the island metropolis and its eastern and western suburbs were awarded after sixteen firms submitted their bids. The greatest portion of three contracts worth Rs 40 billion was given to the western suburbs. The contract has an estimated value of Rs 8.46 billion in the eastern suburbs and Rs 12.34 billion across the island city.

According to Ulhas Mahale, Deputy Municipal Commissioner for Infrastructure, work orders will be issued in three weeks. Following that work may begin he said. A full-time quality management monitoring assurance agency (QMA) has been appointed by the civic administration to oversee road construction. When purchasing the material QMA and BMC officials would be deployed at various plants and material sources to assure proper quality as and when required it stated. Joint ventures between these businesses and other businesses will not be permitted.

It has been noted that when smaller contractual firms band together and apply for these jobs the requisite level of knowledge and quality is not attained. Joint ventures (JV) and consortiums wont be permitted for this work as a result said the BMC's tendering standards to guarantee quality. Subletting will also be strongly prohibited. The bidding agency is responsible for paying for labour supplies and equipment. If the opposite is demonstrated the bidding agency will face harsh punishment.

Every year the BMC will verify all of the bills to ensure that the aforementioned criteria have been met in full. The principal contractor is responsible for keeping all of the invoices up to date. The money made shall be recovered and two times the value of the such payment made shall be collected as a penalty if in audit reports the invoices are not located in the name of the principal contractor it read.
