Kannammoola's proposed township has moved from talk to paperwork. The Thiruvananthapuram Corporation has invited quotations from government-approved agencies to prepare the Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the Kannammoola Township project, which will be developed within the Corporation limits — a formal first step toward giving the plan concrete shape.
Key facts
- The Thiruvananthapuram Corporation wants a government-approved agency to prepare the DPR for the Kannammoola Township project.
- Quotations must be addressed to the Municipal Corporation Superintending Engineer.
- Each bid must include a copy of the agency's licence and GST registration certificate.
- Submissions close at 1 p.m. on September 17.
- Quotations will be opened at 3 p.m. on September 18.
What the Corporation is asking for
According to a statement issued by the Corporation on Saturday, the exercise is focused squarely on the DPR — the detailed blueprint on which the entire township will eventually rest. Agencies that want the work must send their quotations to the Municipal Corporation Superintending Engineer, and the paperwork matters: every submission has to arrive with a copy of the agency's licence and its GST registration certificate attached.
The window is not wide. Interested agencies have less than a fortnight to put their documents together and get them in before the deadline.
Key dates to watch
The Corporation has laid out a tight, two-day schedule for the process:
| Date | Milestone |
|---|---|
| September 17, 1 p.m. | Deadline for submitting quotations |
| September 18, 3 p.m. | Quotations opened and examined |
The bids will be opened and examined in the presence of the contractors who are present at that time, the statement said — a small but notable nod to transparency in how the process will unfold.
How to apply — and one clear caveat
Agencies looking for more details can approach the Engineering Section or the Drawing Branch of the Municipal Corporation, the statement added.
There is, however, a firm caveat tucked into the announcement. The Municipal Steering Council shall have the authority to reject the quotations without assigning any reason, the statement said — a clause that gives the civic body wide room to walk away from any or all of the bids it receives.
For now, the DPR is the prize. Whichever agency eventually lands the work will produce the document that determines how the Kannammoola Township actually takes shape on the ground.
