Mass Rapid Transit Corp Sdn Bhd (MRT Corp) will award soon
several jobs worth over RM1.5bil, including a contract for track works, for the
Sungai Buloh-Kajang MY Rapid Transit (SBK MRT) project, people familiar with
the matter say.
For the track works, which is estimated to be worth some
RM850mil, it is understood that the frontrunner is DRB-HICOM Bhd-Mitsubishi.
There are three shortlisted bidders for the job, which include Balfour Beatty
Rail Sdn Bhd and Leighton-Lion Pacific. A source close to MRT Corp said the
evaluation is still ongoing after the award of the contract (for track works)
was deferred last month (September).
Business Times reported that MRT Corp had requested the
bidders for track works to resubmit their commercial clarification, including
the final price, to lay tracks between Sungai Buloh and Kajang, totalling
41.5km.
Although the stretch from Sungai Buloh to Kajang involves
51km, the job excludes the 9.5km underground tunnel work awarded to the MMC
Gamuda JV at RM8.2bil.The bidders had resubmitted their bids in mid-September
following the request from MRT Corp.
