With no engineer’s estimate provided at this time, the agency noted that the project is for a six-month period.
Detailing the responsibilities of the selected contractor, NDIA explained that the contractor will be tasked with the construction of earthen canal and adjoining embankment to lines and levels, as stated in the Standards and Specification document provided by the National Drainage and Irrigation Authority.
The contractor is to take all necessary precautions when constructing the canals’ embankment and preserve the material below and beyond the lines of excavation in the soundest possible condition.
