Project anatomy
Contract scope and delivery roles
- Client / authority
- Inland Waterways Authority of India under the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways
- Delivery parties
- Cleghorn Mfg. Co. Pvt. Ltd. - signed supplier responsible for the bundled design, fabrication, transport, installation, testing and commissioning scope, Steel fabricator, design verifier, HDPE walkway supplier, anchorage and mooring supplier, transporter, launching team and site installation subcontractors - not separately identified in the reviewed public records
- Contract route
- IWAI used an open, post-review Request for Bids under World Bank project P148775. The award dataset records the goods contract as signed on 24 April 2025 under reference IN-IWAI-465171-GO-RFB. One supplier row is disclosed, with no joint venture or named subcontractors.
- Execution window
- Contractual scope sets eight months from signature for design, fabrication, certification, transportation, installation, anchoring, testing and commissioning, followed by 24 months of general upkeep and maintenance after commissioning and final handover. On an unchanged programme the delivery milestone fell around 24 December 2025. This computed milestone does not establish completion, extension, commissioning or acceptance.
- Works package
- The package covers six 24 m by 6 m steel floating pontoons and six 9 m by 2 m shore-connecting walkways carried on HDPE float modules with 0.80 m handrails. The tender allocates three tentative locations to IWAI Regional Office Patna in Bihar and three to Regional Office Kolkata in West Bengal. It explicitly allows locations to change based on river morphology. The bundled obligations include design, procurement, fabrication, certification, supply, transportation, installation, anchoring, testing, commissioning and 24 months of upkeep.
- Marine interfaces
- Six riverbank installations across two states require final site selection, surveys, site-specific anchorage and mooring, transport, launching and safe shore access under changing water levels and morphology. Published documents define the equipment envelope without disclosing final coordinates, approved drawings, bathymetry, geotechnical assumptions, accepted anchor design, transport routes, lifting equipment, installation craft or site sequence.
- Commercial evidence boundary
- Bank-reported supplier commitment is USD 985,685.91. The IWAI tender's INR 10.38 crore plus GST estimate is a pre-award budget and is not a like-for-like signed contract value. No published record identifies local-currency contract value, variations, certified payments, retention, delay damages, subcontract values or final account.
