The city of Izmir is seeking a consultant in assisting the implementation of investments and to provide support to a Project Implementation Unit for its metro extension. Thus, the interested firms or group of firms are invited to submit expressions of interest. The Assignment is expected to start in the first quarter of 2018 and has an estimated overall duration of 42 months. The estimated cost for the assignment is EUR 275,000 (exclusive of VAT).

The existing LRT system consists of one line which starts from Fahrettin Altay station in the southern part of the metropolitan area and runs towards northeast to end at Evka-3 in Bornova.
