LDA gets consultant for Gomti riverfront project
Lucknow- Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) has chosen a consultant for the Gomti riverfront project out of 12 bidders in the fray including five from abroad. Urban Aqua, a German firm which has formed a consortium with ANB Consultant of Lucknow, has won the bid.
The project includes utilising unused lands on both sides of the river, constructing public recreational facilities and beautifying the surroundings along the 15-km stretch from Kudiya Ghat to Gomti Barrage near Samtamulak crossing in Gomtinagar.
As per LDA officials, three out of the 12 bidders failed to qualify for financial bidding. And technical bid took place in which Urban Aqua won. Sources said that the authority had been encouraging several foreign firms to participate in the riverfront bidding process to promote better quality of work.
The consultant will be conducting a feasibility study over the next few months and get all statutory clearances from the environment department, the Central Water Commission and other agencies. Followed by all these, the actual construction of the project would be started. On a rough estimate, it may take another seven-eight months for the project development to gear up.
The nodal agency is planning to start work only on the left side bank of the Gomti in the first phase. The development of the project includes setting up of theme-based parks, pathways, joggers’ park, cycle tracks, water sports, greeneries, promenades, kiosks and other recreational amenities on both sides of the riverbank.
According to the officials, LDA is also planning to develop commercial units, residential units and shops on this stretch in order to generate revenue.
