The Development Working Party, CDA, approved PC-II level consultancy services in its 75th meeting on Tuesday. The consultancy reports will include construction budget estimates, a feasibility study, and design work for all three, with estimated prices of:
Theme Park – approved feasibility and design services for Rs. 206 million, Ferris Wheel – approved feasibility and design services for Rs. 61.8 million, Cable Car – approved consultancy services for an estimate of Rs. 197.76 million.
