KUWAIT CITY, July 15: The Central Agency for Public Tenders has announced the postponement of the bid submission date for the ‘18’ road repair projects, originally scheduled for Sunday, July 14, reports Al-Jarida daily. The new deadline for submitting bids has been set for Sunday, July 28. This delay provides additional time for companies competing for these projects to finalize their proposals. According to sources from the Ministry of Public Works, the road repair practices encompass extensive maintenance across the country’s six governorates. This includes both fundamental maintenance of road works within the first and second ranges and comprehensive infrastructure services under the PART oversight. These services encompass sewage, rainwater drainage, telephone networks, lighting installations, and landscaping along designated roadways.

Among the notable projects slated for maintenance are:
? General maintenance of the First Ring Road
? Intersection improvements for the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Ring Roads
? Maintenance of the Sixth and Seventh Ring Roads
? Upgrades to King Fahd Road, Fahaheel Road, Subbiya, Abdali, Jahra Roads, and Al Salmi Road
? Extension Approvals for Maintenance Contracts In a related development, CAPT has granted extensions for existing maintenance contracts:

Farwaniya Governorate -- Approval for a second extension of urgent, emergency, and miscellaneous road maintenance with a contracted company for 365 days, valued at 625 thousand dinars.

Farwaniya and Jahra Governorates -- Approval for the first extension of a contract for imaging and general maintenance of the rain sewer network, worth 750 thousand dinars, covering a period of 180 days.

These extensions aim to ensure continuity in essential road maintenance services while new bids for comprehensive road repairs are processed. The agency will oversee the study and evaluation of submitted bids over the next 30 days in adherence to the Tenders Law before making final decisions.
