NEW DELHI: In what could come as a major relief to highway developers, NHAI has notified the new request for annual qualification ( RFAQ) for bidders. Instead of submitting bulky documents every time for different highway projects, they will now be qualified for one calendar year. As per notification, the applicant has to indicate the estimated project cost for which he wishes to get pre-qualified for entire year. This will reduce burden of developers and will also leave no scope for disqualifying developers on frivolous grounds.
The authority proposes to award projects for two/four and six laning of about 10,000 National Highways in the next one year. The step has been taken to streamline and ease the process of pre-qualification of applicants for participating in the bid process of individual projects. As per the new norms, the applications can be submitted as single entity or consortium.
It says while applying the applicant will have to indicate estimated project cost for which he wishes to get pre-qualified. The estimated project cost shall be indicated in a multiple of Rs 50 crore starting from Rs 200 crore. The process of pre-qualification has started from Tuesday. tnn
NHAI said that the pre-qualified applicants shall be eligible to participate in the qualification stage of all or any of the projects.
