Nos. of contractor have quoted the ir rates whi ch is below th e reserved price and furth er as per
rules each area requires atl east a minimum of 3Nos. of bidders. Therefore only collection of

for collection parking fee from Trenchin g Ground Road and T.B. Hospita l Road may be reinv ited.
Further, the present coll ection of parking fee from Cantt. Bazar Road and Bouchier Road

years have not increased which has led to financial loss to the Board and though the rate quoted
by the above tenderer/ bidders for collection of parking fee from Cantt. Bazar Road and Bouchier
Road is below the reserved price it is suggested that the rate quoted by Sh. Droshing Lyngdoh
and Sh. Yosil Cliff Mawlein for Cantt. Bazar Road and Bouchier Road respectively may be
considered as their new rate is higher than the present collection and will enhance the revenue of
the Board considerably for the current financial year.
