organization, key personnel, staff strength etc. should be obtained.

individual name, Proprietary firm or Partnership firm, LLP should not be appointed.
5 The details of Redevelopment projects (Name, Address, No. Flats constructed, Total Plot
area, Built up area, timely completion, project delays, delay in obtaining occupation
certificate - completion certificate etc) executed in last 5 years and details of projects
under execution as on date should be obtained. Relationship with MCGM, Political

Redevelopment projects executed 5 years back/executed recently / under execution by
the PMC before any final decision is taken about short listing his name. The agreements
entered by these societies and their feedback on the PMC may also be reviewed.
10 Confidential report of the PMC may also be obtained from the office bearers of
redeveloped societies done by the PMC & from the PMC’s Bankers.
11 The PMC should be subjected to 3 Cs Test namely Capital (Financial position) Capacity

instead of consolidated % of construction cost. This is necessary to avoid the dispute at a
later date, in case the redevelopment project gets cancelled for any reasons.
