Thread on F Tender by CM's Highways Dept: 2 events happened over d last month. A Contractor calls me & says not to proceed on Corruption in Rs 494 Cr Tender. A day b4 opening of Rs 494 Cr tender, 2 ppl come to our office in d guise of inviting me to a rotary event.

After few mins, they said they hv been sent by highway engineers abt thanjavur tender.This is d same tender that was prefixed to JSV infra that we cancelled last month. It was refloated & d nexus wanted to ensure b4 opening of tender that @Arappor does not raise this issue again.
I advised them abt Indian Constitution, law of d land & they went back! Next day, hours b4 d tender was due to be opened, sent an email to Highways Secretary on how d tender has again been prefixed to JSV Infra at 11.33 Am. Tender was opened on 12th Jan at 3.15 Pm (1st tweet)
After technical bids, financial bids were opened on 19th & results hv been announced recently. Its d same JSV Infra that we mentioned in the email that has won d tender. They quoted 512 Crores working out to more than 2 Crores/ Km, double d amt than PBMC tenders of last few years
As can be seen, other 2 bidders who participated in d fixing tender r RR Infra & KCP Engineers who won the other 2 big Thanjavur AB CRISM and PBMC tenders. How r tenders prefixed?. CM Edappadi claims EMD can be done thro email payment. Check the tender clause below
original EMD (DD amount), technical bid documents shd be handed over to superintending engineer Pazhani b4 tender closes. Else bid will be summarily rejected. working condition Machinery certificate has to be got from quality engineer & submitted b4 closing of tender.
This means the contractors hv to meet the engineers atleast thrice, once for requesting for machinery certificate, engineer visiting the plant & then handing over of technical bid doc and EMD to engineer. @CMOTamilNadu shd show us where is the link for online payment of EMD
Will @CMOTamilNadu tell us y online upload of tenders alone is not enough and y shd contractors meet engineers & get machinery certificate & y they shd hand over physical copies of technical bids? All this is only to FIX tenders. E tender is a myth and most tenders r F tenders!
Highways Sec A. Karthik IAS is not fit for the post. He shd resign if he cannot work for us citizens for the salary he draws from us. Did he study IAS to protect the corrupt ?? Y not action on officials & contractors yet??
CM Edappadi Palanisamy is caught red handed with his lies on E Tender. As Highways Minister what action is he going to take. If he doesnt take any action, what is his role in this tender fraud?. Let him take action else people will take action on him in the coming election!
