MASS Rapid Transit Corp Sdn Bhd (MRT Corp) has awarded three contracts worth RM732.2 million to build elevated stations for the Sungai Buloh-Kajang MY Rapid Transit (SBK MRT) project.
This confirms a Business Times report on Monday, which stated that MRT Corp is expected to award several jobs worth over RM1.5 billion soon, including a contract for railway track works.
In a statement yesterday, MRT Corp said the contracts for elevated stations were awarded after a sitting of the One-Stop Procurement Committee in Putrajaya, chaired by Second Finance Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Husni Hanadzlah.
There was, however, no contract awarded for track works yet, which involves 41.5km of track laying from Sungai Buloh to Kajang.
The job, estimated to worth some RM850 million, is important to support the communication, signalling and power-supply system.
Of the three contracts, Naim Holdings Bhd's wholly-owned unit, Naim Engineering Sdn Bhd, won a RM204.7 million job to build stations at Taman Industri Sungai Buloh, PJU 5 and Kota Damansara.
The second award went to UEM Construction Sdn Bhd to build stations at The Curve, One Utama and Dataran Sunway for RM275.8 million.
Apex Communication Sdn Bhd, founded by businessman Tan Sri Abdullah Ali and is involved in construction, development and telecommunications work, won a RM251.7 million job to build stations at Saujana Impian, Bandar Kajang and Kajang.
MRT Corp chief executive officer Datuk Azhar Abdul Hamid said the contracts were open to 12 Bumipu-tera companies that were pre-qua-lified to bid.
"These awards are the best evaluated bids from the groups which were shortlisted.
"With three more station packages awarded, I'm glad to say the MRT project is progressing very well," Azhar said.
MRT Corp has awarded 48 out of the total 85 packages for the SBK MRT project tender.
Azhar said the three winning companies were the appointed, nominated sub-contractors for the elevated civil work packages held by Gadang Engineering (M) Sdn Bhd, Mudajaya Corp Bhd and UEM Construction Sdn Bhd.
MRT Corp awarded jobs worth RM863.4 million, RM816.2 million and RM951 million, respectively, to Gadang Engineering, Mudajaya and UEM Construction between June and September this year.
Azhar said the pricing of the elevated civil-work package includes the station-building contract.
The SBK MRT is a new rail transport system for the Klang Valley, stretching 51km from the northwest town of Sungai Buloh to the south-east city of Kajang in Selangor.
