May 24, 2011
Syarikat Prasarana Negara Bhd (SPNB) will call for a briefing on the Klang Valley Mass Rapid Transit (KVMRT) linking Sungai Buloh and Kajang for interested contractors tomorrow in Petaling Jaya.
Its group director for project development division Zulkifli Mohd Yusoff said SPNB had revised its pre-qualification criteria for elevated civil works, stations and depots work construction packages for the project.
“The briefing will cover all areas with regards to the pre-qualification exercise and we hope that all interested contractors will attend the briefing,” he said in a statement.
Zulkifli said SPNB had decided on a tender pre-qualification revision for the Open Category (PKK ‘A’/CIDB G7) and Bumiputera Category (PKK ‘A’ Bumiputera/CIDB G7).
“Under new pre-qualification criteria, interested contractors can either form joint ventures or consortiums among local companies,” he said.
Meanwhile, SPNB group managing director Shahril Mokhtar said the revision was made in view of feedback received by the company from various parties, including the NGOs and to attract more contractors.
The planned construction period for the Sungai Buloh-Kajang MRT line is from 2011 to 2016. When completed, it will provide a fast train service to 1.2 million people along the route.
SPNB is a company established by the Ministry of Finance to facilitate, undertake and expedite public infrastructure projects approved by the government. – Business Times
