Ahmedabad-based HCP Design firm
has won the consultancy bid for architectural and engineering planning of the
Centre’s ambitious plan to redevelop Central Vista, Parliament and develop
common Central Secretariat, CPWD Director General Prabhakar Singh said on
Friday.

 Singh said HCP Design, Planning and Management
Pvt. Ltd. has executed several projects in the past.

The firm was also involved in the
Sabarmati Riverfront Development Project where Prime Minister Narendra Modi
recently held a mammoth event to celebrate Mahatma Gandhi’s 150th birth
anniversary.

“HCP Design, Planning and
Management Pvt has won the consultancy bid for the project,” the Central
Public Works Department (CPWD) director general said.

He said 80% weightage was given to
quality while 20 per cent to finances.

On September 2, the Ministry of
Housing and Urban Affairs had invited request for proposal (RFP) from national
and international design and planning firms for the ambitious project of the
Modi government.
