3. Reasons for Delay
The components of seamless mobility are under execution. Components like
smart power, heritage conservation, canal rejuvenation, etc. are to be
undertaken through the Project Management Consultant (PMC).
 Delay in appointing the Project Management Consultant
For end-to end support of project execution under Smart Cities Mission in
Kochi, the Mission Director had issued a RFP on 25th May 2016 and the
last date to receive the proposal was 1st August 2016. In response to the
RFP, proposals were received from 9 consultancy firms. The technical
committee has reviewed the proposal in detail and also invited the firms for
a presentation. Further three firms were shortlisted as per the RFP selection
criteria and their financial bid was opened on 18th November 2016. M/s IPE
global obtained the highest score in the combined evaluation process. The
evaluation committee submitted its report to the Mission Director. The
committee observed that e-tendering procedure has not been followed in the
selection process and hence recommended to obtain ratification from
Government before awarding the work.
As per the decision of 9th State Level High Powered Committee (SHPSC),
chaired by the Chief Secretary held on 25th January 2017, the Mission
Director submitted the file to the Government for waiving the eprocurement procedure for selection of the PMC. After seeking the advises
of Finance and IT Department, the matter was placed in the cabinet meeting
held on 28th March 2017. The cabinet approved the physical tendering
process initiated for the selection and the consultant and waived the etendering process in the selection of PMC.
The Selection of M/S IPE Global Pvt Ltd was approved by the
Government and issued order-GO (Rt) 1153/LSGD dated 12th April 2017.
The delay in the selection of PMC has led to delay in the implementation of
projects proposed under Area Based Development.
 Delay in Appointment of key personals
KMRL is the handholding agency for recruiting the Key personals. The
first advertisement for the recruitment of the Key personals was published
9|Page
Local Self Government Department, Government of Kerala
in November 2017 however number of applicants were not limited or not of
good quality.
Further it was re-advertised for the post of Chief Financial Officer (CFO)
and Urban Planner in January 2017. The interview of the Urban Planner
was conducted on 29th April 2017 and shortlisted the applicant for the post.
The delay in the appointment of the Key personals has led to the delay
over all institutional building and project coordination.
