The government has approved the construction of an 11-storey headquarters building for the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) at a cost of Tk 171 crore 90 lakh 7 thousand 764.
The approval was given at a meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Government Purchase held at the Bangladesh Secretariat on Wednesday, with Finance Minister Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury in the chair.
According to sources at the meeting, the Ministry of Housing and Public Works presented the proposal for the construction of the building under the “Construction of RAB Forces Headquarters” project. The Public Works Department (PWD) will implement the project.
An open tender was invited through the e-GP system for the civil construction work, and ten bids were submitted. Of these, six were found technically responsive.
Following completion of the tender process, the tender evaluation committee recommended awarding the work to the lowest responsive bidder, M Jamal & Company Limited, at a cost of Tk 171 crore, 90 lakh, 7 thousand, 764. The committee approved the proposal during the meeting.

Under this project, an 11-storey RAB headquarters building will be constructed on a 15-storey foundation. The facility will include the Director General’s office, three basement levels, ground-floor parking, and other necessary amenities.
The project also includes construction of a three-storey magazine and court building, a three-storey sub-centre building, warehouses, pumps and reservoirs, deep tube wells, water supply and distribution systems, internal roads, a vehicle-washing facility, rainwater harvesting facilities, a saluting platform, electrical and mechanical systems, external electrical connections, lifts, air-conditioning facilities and a local network.
