GURUGRAM: The Municipal Corporation of Gurugram invited bids on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, for two pond projects in Ward 3, with a combined estimated value of Rs 1,19,97,503. The proposals cover restoration of the Carterpuri village pond near the Old Age Home and deepening and desilting of the Mullahera pond in the Sector 22 area. For people living around the two sites, the notices establish the locations, proposed work and bidding timetable.

The two entries were published on Haryana's procurement portal at 3 pm IST. Carterpuri is described in its record as being under Zone IV, while the Mullahera entry identifies Zone 5. Both name the municipal corporation as the procuring body. Each sets November 19 as the submission and opening date, with a 180 day period of work.

What is proposed at each pond

The official Carterpuri tender is for rejuvenation and restoration of the village pond near the Old Age Home. Its estimated value is Rs 61,33,218, and its identifier is 2026_HRY_559629_1. The site description gives residents a named landmark against which to identify the proposal. The summary does not specify the pond's area, the quantity of material to be removed or a water storage target.

The Mullahera proposal has a different stated scope: deepening and desilting. It carries an estimated value of Rs 58,64,285 and tender identifier 2026_HRY_559634_1. Although the portal places both entries under civil works with a horticulture subcategory, the individual work descriptions distinguish the two jobs. Detailed quantities and specifications belong to the bidding documents and cannot be inferred from the broad category.

Each record lists a common bidding document and a separate bill of quantities. The Carterpuri bill is BOQ_639669.xls; the Mullahera bill is BOQ_639674.xls. These document identifiers help bidders match a financial submission to the correct pond. The two estimates are separate procurement values, so adding them describes the proposed package of spending across both sites, rather than an awarded contract price.

The timetable and bidding requirements

Document download and bid submission began for both projects at 3 pm IST on November 11. Both facilities close at 10 am IST on Thursday, November 19. Bid opening is scheduled for 1 pm IST that day at Municipal Corporation Gurugram. The three hour gap separates the submission deadline from the opening time; applicants should use the earlier time when planning their submission.

  • Carterpuri estimated value: Rs 61,33,218.
  • Mullahera estimated value: Rs 58,64,285.
  • Submission deadline for both: November 19, 10 am IST.
  • Scheduled opening for both: November 19, 1 pm IST.
  • Period of work for each: 180 days.

Both tenders use two covers. The first contains the fee, prequalification and technical submission in PDF format, while the second contains the financial bid in spreadsheet format. Payment is online, with SBI Bank listed among the payment instruments. The records do not allow two stage bidding, general technical evaluation or itemwise technical evaluation. Prospective contractors need to follow the individual documents when preparing the two covers.

For each project, the portal lists a Rs 5,000 tender fee and Rs 1,000 processing fee, making Rs 6,000 in total. Tender fee exemption is marked as unavailable. The fixed earnest money deposit differs: Rs 1,22,665 for Carterpuri and Rs 1,17,286 for Mullahera. EMD exemption is marked as allowed in both entries, a separate field from tender fee exemption. Any applicant relying on that provision needs to consult the applicable tender conditions.

Bid validity is 180 days for both projects. That is the period for which an offer remains valid, while the separately listed 180 day work period concerns delivery of the contract. Neither should be converted into a promised completion date by counting forward from publication. Both entries name Kuldeep Kumar at Municipal Corporation Gurugram as the tender inviting authority and show no prebid meeting date.

How residents can track the next step

The immediate milestone is the November 19 opening. Residents can use the two tender identifiers to distinguish subsequent procurement updates, including any change to the timetable, from work at other ponds. The records opened for this report are invitations for bids. They do not identify a successful contractor, an accepted price or a date for activity to begin at either site.

These neighbourhood proposals sit alongside other reported water management decisions. Earlier coverage examined the search for ten rainwater storage sites before diversion to Damdama, the December 31 deadline for a city flood plan and directions on groundwater action plans. Those reports provide city background; the two pond notices supply their own locations, costs and procurement deadlines.
