Tender for Operation and Maintenance of Rainwater Pumping Stations for Highway Tunnels

As part of preparations for the rainy season, the Central Tenders Committee announced the launch of a tender for the operation and maintenance of rainwater pumping stations for tunnels located on highways, at the request of the Ministry of Public Works. The deadline for submitting bids is set for November 10 next year.

The Committee clarified that the inquiry session for the tender will be held on the 19th of this month at the main building of the Ministry of Public Works in the South Al-Sara area, to allow interested parties to submit inquiries related to the tender, in accordance with the procedures specified for issuing public tenders.

It noted that the tender documents will be published on the Central Tenders Committee’s website for review prior to purchasing the documents, enabling relevant entities to examine the tender requirements and prepare their bids within the specified timeframe.

The scope of the tender includes the operation, maintenance, repair, replacement, and development of rainwater pumping stations and their associated facilities on highways, aiming to support their continuous operation and enhance their operational efficiency during the rainy season.

The tender falls under the Ministry of Public Works’ projects related to rainy season preparedness, as pumping stations represent one of the means used to drain rainwater, helping to reduce water accumulation and its impact on traffic flow, and preventing water from pooling in tunnels, especially during heavy rains accompanied by high sea levels.

The Ministry of Public Works is preparing for the rainy season through an action plan coordinated with relevant state entities, aiming to coordinate the work of teams and deploy them to mitigate rainwater accumulation, particularly in critical sites that experienced water pooling in previous years.
