MyHSR Corporation launched the tender to appoint the Project Delivery Partner (PDP) for the Kuala Lumpur – Singapore High Speed Rail project. The process’ closing date is January 30, 2018.
The winner will be responsible to develop the detailed design for the infrastructure works which includes the station and the alignment structures within Malaysia and construct these works on budget and on time.
In addition to the detailed design and delivery of the infrastructure works, the PDP will also be required to assist with interface management, land acquisition processes and stakeholder engagement activities.
“This PDP tender marks the start of the next phase of this exciting project. With the appointment of the PDP, the civil works for the Malaysian infrastructure portion of the KL-SG HSR project will begin in earnest. This tender is open to all interested parties with experience in the design, construction and project management of railway infrastructure,” Mohd Nur Ismal Mohamed Kamal, CEO of MyHSR Corp said.
The PDP and upcoming Assets Company (‘AssetsCo’) tenders are two major procurement exercises at this current stage of the KL-SG HSR project. The PDP tender focuses on the civil infrastructure portion of the project, while the AssetsCo tender, expected to be launched by end of this year, focuses on systems and trains. Both tenders are expected to be completed in 2018.
Recently, the Prime Minister of Malaysia, Najib Razak, unveiled the concept designs for the seven HSR stations in Malaysia, and MyHSR Corp is currently in the midst of its Public Inspection exercise, which lasts for three months from 1 November 2017 until 31 January 2018. In addition, the Environmental Impact Assessment (‘EIA’) study for the KL-SG HSR project is underway.
