Bina Puri Holdings Bhd hopes to get the letter of award to build the main terminal and satellite building of the new permanent low-cost carrier terminal (LCCT) in Sepang, Selangor, this month
The construction group had bid for the RM1.1 billion package in a 40:60 joint venture with UEM Group.
"We have done a lot of site preparation and believe we can finish construction in 17 months," Bina Puri group managing director Tan Sri Tee Hock Seng said after its shareholder meeting in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.
Airport operator Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) had shortlisted five companies, including a tie-up between Sunway Construction Sdn Bhd and privately-held AHT Norlan-Carriage, IJM Corp Bhd and the Gadang Holdings-PPC joint venture, for the contracts.
To date, MAHB has awarded two contracts for the LCCT project.
The first, worth RM362 million, was given to WCT Bhd last December for site preparation, earthworks and main drainage. In January, a RM291 million contract was awarded to Gadang Bhd to carry out earthworks for the runway and taxiways.
Bina Puri also submitted a bid last month to build a RM150 million hotel on 2.4ha next to the LCCT. It is partnering Brem Holdings Bhd and Crystal Crown Hotels & Resorts in the bid.
The new LCCT will be 1.5km away from the KL International Airport compared with 20km for the existing LCCT.
