The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- The BMC has sought post-facto approval from its Standing Committee for appointing Philip Infra Consultancy Services to conduct a traffic simulation study at the Nepean Sea Road entry and exit points of the Mumbai Coastal Road.
- The Rs 9.9 lakh consultancy was awarded without a public tender because no empanelled consultants exist for such specialised work and the item is not in the Unified Schedule of Rates.
- The BMC instead obtained quotations from three eligible firms, with Philip Infra emerging as the lowest bidder.
- The consultant has already completed the study, and the approval being sought is a ratification of the decision.
What to watch next
- Whether the Standing Committee grants the post-facto approval for the Rs 9.9 lakh appointment.
- What recommendations the completed traffic simulation study makes for the Nepean Sea Road interchange.
- Any scrutiny of BMC's practice of awarding work without a public tender.
