After receiving only one bidder to set up an aviary (bird enclosure) at Nahur, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has again issued a tender for a project management consultant. The civic body wants to set up an aviary which would be an extension to the Byculla zoo. The BMC initiated the project to develop an aviary in the eastern suburbs, far from the Veermata Jijabai Bhosale Udyan and Zoo at Byculla.
It floated a tender in November to set up the aviary in Nahur on a plot measuring 6,381 square metres and provided a month for responses. “We received only one response. To get better responses, we have floated the tender again. The BMC will give us a plan for the construction and management of the aviary. Accordingly, the cost and other things will shape up,” said Dr Sanjay Tripathi, director of the zoo.
