Cidco finalises Navi Mumbai airport planner

Mumbai: The City and Industrial Development Corporation (Cidco), the township and industrial infrastructure arm of the Maharashtra government, has zeroed in on the master planner which will help them finalise bids to be issued for selecting a strategic partner for its ambitious Navi Mumbai International Airport.
According to sources within the organisation, Cidco had opened financial bids for the shortlisted four parties early this week.
It is almost certain that the name of New Jersey-based private engineering consultant firm Louis Berger will be announced after a board meeting on Friday.
The bids were reportedly in the range of Rs 13 crore (lowest) and Rs 55 crore.
The three other bidders were US-based Mott Macdonald, which is also involved in the Delhi metro project, Australia-based Maunsell that has a strong presence in the Asia Pacific region, and multi-disciplinary design and engineering group Scott Wilson, which also has a strong presence in India.
The master planner is likely to submit its report on bid structuring within the next 10 months.
