GOVERNMENT OF INDIA MINISTRY OF RAIWAYS No.2004/TGIV/8/P | . New Delhi, dtd 29. 10,04 The General Managers, ह 7 All Zonal Railways. व (Commercial Circular No. 39 of 2004 ) Sub: Cycle/Motor cycle/Scooter/Car parking contracts As per procedure in vogue, parking contracts are awarded at all classes of stations on open tender basis. During the course of discussion with some Zonal Railways, it has come to the notice of the Board that the parking contracts have been awarded only at a few stations. Parking contracts have not been awarded even . atsome A & B category stations. It was also pointed out by the zonal railways that "at D & E category stations, there are no takers for parking contracts as the stations "are small and-deal with low volume of passenger traffic, The tender procedure is ', time consuming and there is hardly any response. It was, therefore, suggested that _, at.D. & E category stations, instead of tenders, railways may be authorized to . finalise parking contracts on quotations. Notice may be. displayed on the notice boards of the stations concerned.
