MANGALURU: The Manipal Academy of Higher Education (Mahe) built a floor and three-storied 700-car and 500 two-wheeler automobile parking space inside of two years at a price of Rs 25 crore. However, the Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC) has been toying with the idea since two decades, and it’s still in the soft process.
Interestingly, MCC’s multi-level vehicle parking (MLCP) advanced at Hampankatta beneath the Mangaluru Smart City Limited (MSCL) for 375-400 vehicles and 200 two-wheelers parking, plus eight industrial spaces, prices a whopping Rs 94 crore! Another startling truth is that Mahe MLCP has 2.five lakh squareft area and MCC’s MLCP is solely two lakh squareft!
The MCC’s MLCP is a floor plus eight-storied structure that may handiest accommodate 375 to 400 vehicles and 100 two-wheelers. Interestingly, sources say that lots of the vehicle sparking area could be gobbled up by way of the economic establishments which can be housed in the similar structure, leaving others having to park beside the street. Finally, it'll not be a wonder, if the entire MLCP is converted right into a industrial area, say people who are in the know of the challenge, defeating the objective of the entire workout.
This MCC’s “mega’’ challenge’s soft , regardless of the mega prices, got just one bidder, and the contract used to be not awarded. The MCC invited contemporary tenders on July 14 for the ‘design, construct, finance, operate and switch of MLCP.’ The construction period is 3 years. The documents for bidding can be available on July 24.
The challenge of MLCP used to be planned thru Mangaluru Urban Development Authority (Muda). However, in 2014, a council meeting of the MCC determined to put in force the challenge by itself thru PPP. However, after Mangaluru city used to be decided on beneath the Smart City Mission, the MLCP challenge has been incorporated in it. MCC has just about 155 cents of land in the busy Hampankatta house.
A person carefully related to the Mahe challenge says, Manipal MLCP is a bare bone structure and the similar in Mangaluru should not cost much. “About 40% of the fee is for the root. Even if industrial spaces are there, Rs 94 crore is exorbitant,’’ the individual says and wonders whether or not public, who aren't customers would get automobile parking space at that MLCP.
The proposal to build MLCP used to be mooted after a city bus stand at Hampankatta used to be demolished and the KSRTC bus stand used to be shifted to Bejai two decades in the past. The MLCP challenge can be implemented beneath public – non-public – partnership (PPP) mode by way of the MSCL and the authorities are making plans to finish the challenge inside of 3 years.
When told concerning the disparity in vehicle parking and challenge prices when in comparison to MAHE MLCP, MSCL director and senior corporator M Shashidhar Hegde mentioned he would communicate to the MCCC commissioner and see what adjustments could be carried out, considering MCC MLCP prices four instances the cost of MAHE MLCP - however can accommodate handiest part the selection of cars regardless of having twice the selection of floors.
