STATE-owned public transport operator Syarikat Prasarana Negara Bhd (SPNB) had called for a tender briefing yesterday for the light rail transit (LRT) line extension in the Klang Valley. It is understood the briefing was attended by 15 construction companies to discuss the scope of works involved in the LRT extension project estimated at about RM9 billion.
SPNB invited the companies.
They include Sunway Construction Sdn Bhd, IJM Construction Sdn Bhd, Muhibbah Engineering Sdn Bhd, Gamuda Bhd, Bina Puri Holdings Bhd, Loh & Loh Corp Bhd, MRCB Engineering Sdn Bhd as well as joint-ventures such as WCT-Sinohydro, Ranhill-CCCC and UEM Builders-Intria Bina.
It is understood that the companies are expected to visit the site this Sunday, where the lines between Ampang and Kelana Jaya are to be built.
"The companies must buy the tender documents for the project by June 24. SPNB may call for tenders for infrastructure works first," a source told Business Times.
It is learnt that there will be a total of eight packages under the project, which will be tendered in stages.
These include the construction and completion of facilities work for the Ampang LRT line, and the Kelana Jaya LRT line.
The other packages are to nominate sub-contractors for fabrication and delivery of segmental box girders for both the Ampang and Kelana Jaya LRT lines.
SPNB group managing director Datuk Idrose Mohamed had recently said that 15 candidates were shortlisted for the sub-contracting of fabrication and delivery of segmental box girder works.
SPNB is raising RM4 billion from bond sales to part-finance the project, which forms part of the RM10 billion railway scheme to expand Kuala Lumpur's public transport network.
