Mass Rapid Transit Corporation Sdn Bhd wishes to announce that the work package for trackworks, maintenance vehicles and work trains for the MRT Sungai Buloh-Serdang-Putrajaya (SSP) Line has been awarded to CCCC-George Kent Joint Venture.
Package SSP-SY-204, for tfie Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Testing and Commissioning of Trackworks, Maintenance Vehicles and Works Trains was awarded after a meeting by the One-Stop Procurement Committee (OSPC) chaired by Prime Minister Dato' Sri Mohd Najib Tun Abdul Razak.
The price of the work package is RM1.01 billion. The joint venture comprises the China Communications Construction Company Ltd (CCCC) and George Kent (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd. CCCC holds 51% equity in the joint venture while George Kent holds the remaining 49%. MRT Corp Chief Executive Officer Dato' Sri Shahril Mokhtar said this work package was one of the major ones for the construction of the SSP Line. "CCCC comes with very good technical know-how having handled many infrastructure projects, including railway construction.
"Its joint venture with Malaysian company George Kent, which now has a strong presence in the railway industry in Malaysia, allows the MRT Project to benefit from the experience of these two very strong companies," he said. Touching on the tender evaluation process, Shahril said the joint venture, which was one of seven tenderers, fared very well in the technical portion of the evaluation. Among the criteria for technical evaluation were compliance with specifications required by MRT Corp, proposed solutions, performance level, track record, works programmes and compliance with key dates, project execution plan, maintenance plan, quality and site safety, health and environment (SHE) assurance.
"The successful tenderer is selected on the basis of the best evaluated tender, which means the successful tenderer may not have quoted the lowest price. However, for this work package, I am pleased to announce that the successful tenderer had quoted the lowest price," he said. Shahril said under the SSP Line, all Systems Work Package Contractors will have to ensure that 35% of the works to be done will be awarded to Bumiputera companies.
"This is an increase from the Systems contracts for the MRT Sungai Buloh-Kajang Line where it was 30%," he said. With this award, MRT Corp has awarded a total of 22 work packages for the construction of the SSP Line. They comprise eight advance work packages, four viaduct packages, one underground works package, six systems work packages, two designated supplier work packages and one depot work package.
