RMC blacklists firm for failing to honour contract

RAJKOT: Rajkot Municipal Commissioner (RMC) Ajay Bhadoo on Thursday terminated the contract with a private water infrastructure company and also permanently blacklisted it from participating in any of the civic body's future projects for its failure to honour its agreement.

"RMC had signed an agreement with this private water infrastructure company in June 2010 to construct a 45MLD sewage treatment plant in Madhapar on Jamnagar Road on built, operate, own and transfer (BOOT) basis. However, it is two years since the agreement was signed, but the company is yet to resume the construction of STP,'' Bhadoo said. RMC had issued a number of notices to the company in this regard, but it did not bother to reply.

 As per the agreement, the company was responsible for financial investment in the project. However, it started placing new demands, which included financial assistance and necessary orders banning bore wells and minimum usage of recycled sewage water among others in the project's vicinity."Despite repeated requests to commence work, the company neither started the work nor submitted fresh bank guarantee.It seemed the company had no intention to implement the work and fulfilling its contractual obligations,'' a RMC official said.
