The Cabinet Committee on Government Purchase (CCGP) on Wednesday approved awarding of contracts worth around Tk 383.84 crore for two road improvement and construction works in Bandarban under a World Bank co-financed project.
The recommendations were made at a CCGP meeting held on Wednesday, with the proposals submitted by the Road Transport and Highways Division. Finance Minister Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury presided over the meeting at Bangladesh Secretariat.
The committee recommended awarding a contract worth Tk 190 crore to National Development Engineers Ltd for improvement of the Aziznagar-Naziram Tripura Para Road (Z-1007) through widening and strengthening of the existing pavement.
The work is part of Package PW-02 of the project titled “Construction and Improvement of Three Roads for Host Communities under Bandarban Road Division”. The project is being implemented by the Roads and Highways Department (RHD) with joint financing from the Bangladesh government and the World Bank.
Under the second proposal, the CCGP recommended awarding a Tk 193.84 crore contract to Spectra Engineers Ltd for construction of a new flexible pavement on the existing earthen road from Naziram Tripura Para to Lama (Gazalia).
The two road schemes are aimed at improving road connectivity and transport infrastructure for host communities in Bandarban.
