Project anatomy
Contract scope and delivery roles
- Client / authority
- Inland Waterways Authority of India under the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways
- Delivery parties
- Nalanda Engineering Enterprise - 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 3 April 2025 under reference IN-IWAI-367869-GO-RFB-2-2. 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 3 December 2025. This computed milestone does not establish completion, extension, commissioning or acceptance.
- Works package
- The package covers seven 30 m by 8 m steel floating pontoons and seven 9 m by 2 m shore-connecting walkways carried on HDPE float modules with 0.80 m handrails. The tender's final-destination schedule lists Behrampore Gopal Ghat, Behrampore Opposite at Khagra Ghat, Lalbagh Sadar Ghat, Khoshbag Ghat at Lalbagh Court Ghat, Majherchar, Saptorshi Ghat and Guptipara Ghat opposite Shantipur. The supplier's bundled obligations include design, procurement, fabrication, certification, supply, transportation, installation, anchoring, testing, commissioning and 24 months of upkeep.
- Marine interfaces
- Seven riverbank sites require site-specific anchorage, mooring, access geometry, transport and launching arrangements under changing NW-1 water levels and river morphology. Published documents define the pontoon and walkway envelope without disclosing approved drawings, bathymetry, geotechnical assumptions, accepted anchor design, tow or road routes, lifting equipment, installation craft or site sequence.
- Commercial evidence boundary
- Bank-reported supplier commitment is USD 1,317,014.07. The IWAI tender's INR 12.04 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.
