Tender Details
Description / Scope of Work
The Irrigation Department in Dera Ghazi Khan, Punjab invites sealed bids for the remodeling and protection of critical reaches along the Khanwah Flood Bund. This comprehensive civil works project involves extensive earthwork, including the excavation of over 9.4 million cubic feet of soil from borrow pits and the subsequent transportation and compaction of earth using power road rollers to reach 90 percent maximum modified AASHO dry density. The scope of work also requires significant stone and bajri interventions, specifically providing and laying stone pitching on slopes and level surfaces, alongside various grades of crushed bajri filter layers. Contractors are responsible for the carriage of stone from the Sakhi Sarwar quarry, covering leads of up to 200 kilometers. Additional tasks include providing brick-on-end road edging across 124,200 running feet and the excavation of drains and irrigation channels using heavy machinery like excavators or draglines. Eligible firms must provide rates for these multiple line items as per the provided Bill of Quantities to ensure the structural integrity and flood protection capabilities of the bund.

Independent analysis by PakistanTender — not part of the official notice. Always confirm details against the original tender document.
Large-scale flood bund rehabilitation requiring 9.4M cubic feet earthwork with 90% compaction spec, stone pitching from distant quarry (200km haul), bajri filtration layers, and 124k feet brick edging.
Capital-intensive project demanding equipment fleet (rollers, excavators, draglines) and sustained logistics capability. Single comprehensive contract rather than phased work; timeline suggests 12-month execution window. Bidders need proven experience with similar hydraulic infrastructure and demonstrated capacity for volume earthmoving.
Who can bid: Typically requires PEC registration (minimum C-2 category for civil works), active NTN, and provincial Irrigation Department vendor approval. No explicit restrictions stated in notice; however, firms must demonstrate equipment ownership or certified leasing arrangements for compaction and heavy excavation machinery. Prior flood mitigation or bund construction experience likely prerequisite despite unstated.
