PCMC extends Crisil contract for one year
PUNE: The standing committee of the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) on Tuesday approved the proposal to pay Rs 1.05 crore to extend the contract of credit rating agency Crisil, to monitor the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) projects for one year.
According to Neelkanth Poman, computer officer at the PCMC, "Crisil has been doing this work for the past three years. It involves preparing tender documents for projects, convening meetings of civic departments, giving expert advice, preparing the agreement between the PCMC and the contractor and monitoring implementation of the project. Its officials also go to New Delhi and Mumbai to pursue the projects with Union and state government officials respectively."
Poman said the earlier contract with Crisil was to expire on October 27.
A proposal to extend the contract directly without inviting bids and paying Rs 8.8 lakh per month, along with service tax, totalling Rs 1.05 crore was tabled at the standing committee meeting.
Dilip Kudale, co-ordinator, engineering department, said, "At present, the PCMC is developing a stormwater drainage network in various parts of the municipal limits under the JNNURM. The nullahs will be channelised by constructing walls on both sides of the nullahs."
Another proposal to channelise the 850-m stretch of the nullah in Sr No 70 at an estimated cost of Rs 2.23 crore and a 250-m stretch of the nullah near the Nandanvan society in Pimpale Nilakh at a cost of Rs 83.38 lakh and 1.95-km stretch of the nullah flowing from hotel Govind garden to the Pavana river in Pimple Saudagar at an estimated cost of Rs 3.47 crore was also approved by the standing committee.
The committee kept pending the proposal to construct, test and activate an elevated storage reservoir (ESR) at a cost of Rs 1.03 crore.
Sharad Jadhav, executive engineer, water supply, said, "The PCMC will be constructing an elevated storage reservoir (ESR) in the MIDC plot at Bijlinagar in Chinchwad with the capacity to store 2.5 million litres per day (MLD). It will supply water to Dalvinagar, Premlok Park, Udyognagar, Indiranagar and Santoshnagar in Chinchwad and areas near Chinchwad railway station.
