The contract was awarded by Mass Rapid Transit Corporation Sdn Bhd (MRT Corp) after a sitting of the One Stop Procurement Committee (OSPC) in Parliament yesterday, chaired by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.
This confirms a Business Times report that Mitsubishi will be awarded the contract to lay railway tracks for Sg Buloh-Kajang line for the project.
Mitsubishi was among three shortlisted bidders for the job. The other two parties were Balfour Beatty Rail Sdn Bhd and Leighton-Lion Pacific.
The award of the contract is the first win for Mitsubishi in the KVMRT project.
MRT Corp also awarded a RM319.9 million telecommunications work package to the Apex Communication Sdn Bhd- LG CNS consortium.
This is the third job for Apex, which is founded by businessman Tan Sri Abdullah Ali, for the KVMRT project.
Earlier this month, Apex, which is involved in construction, development and telecommunications work, won a RM251.7 million job to build stations at Saujana Impian, Bandar Kajang and Kajang.
In August, the company won the S7 package to build stations in Balakong and Taman Koperasi, worth RM104.7 million.
In a statement, MRT Corp chief executive officer Datuk Azhar Abdul Hamid expressed his confidence that the winning bidders will deliver as per specification.
"The best evaluated tenders won today (October 22), and not without merit. Both companies have demonstrated their capability in the respective fields. I am confident they will be able to deliver, and this will augur well for the SBK Line," he said.
Azhar said the MRT project has already been in full construction mode since August.
So far, MRT Corp has awarded 50 of the 85 works packages, with a total value of RM19.7 billion. The balance 35 packages, with contracts valued at around RM2 billion, are expected to be fully awarded in the current quarter.
