Purpose of the government order
Government Order (Ms.) No. 147, issued by the Tamil Nadu Public Works (G1) Department on 21 May 2008, approves the purchase of two new cars for Public Works Department Circles in the Building Organisation. The purchase was sanctioned under the Part II Schemes for 2008-2009 at an estimated cost of Rs.8.00 lakhs.
The Chief Engineer (Buildings), Public Works Department, was authorised to incur the expenditure according to the existing procedure. The estimate submitted by the Chief Engineer was also approved.
Reason for replacing the cars
The Public Works Department Building Wing had 17 staff cars for Superintending Engineers to use while carrying out their duties. According to the document, the existing cars had been purchased long ago and were in poor condition.
Some cars had travelled more than 2,00,000 kilometres and met the applicable replacement norms. The Chief Engineer (Buildings) therefore proposed replacing two staff cars with new non-air-conditioned Ambassador cars.
Key details include:
- Two new cars were approved on a replacement basis.
- The total approved estimate was Rs.8.00 lakhs.
- The estimate was based on DGS & D rates.
- The Standing Finance Committee approved the proposal under the Part II Schemes for 2008-2009.
