KUALA LUMPUR: Mass Rapid Transit Corp Sdn Bhd (MRT Corp) will award two packages worth about RM1.5 billion for the MRT Sungai Buloh-Serdang-Putrajaya (SSP) Line next month.
Chief executive officer Datuk Seri Shahril Mokhtar said the packages were for automotive fare collection worth more than RM100 million and track work valued at around RM1.3 billion.
Both packages would be awarded by September 30, he told Business Times at MRT Corp’s Hari Raya open house, here, yesterday.
“We will also award two viaduct packages, worth RM600 million to RM700 million each, between October and December.”
Next year, several other packages worth more than RM3 billion would be awarded, added Shahril.
They include four or five viaduct packages and at least 10 station packages.
“In April, we will open up 11 packages, worth between RM60 million and RM70 million each, to build multi-storey carparks. After that will come the smaller packages for signages and others.” Shahril said.
MRT Corp had so far awarded packages worth a total of RM24 billion for the 52.2km SSP line, adding that he was happy with the progress. The packages previously awarded included eight advanced work packages, four viaduct work packages, two designated contractor/supplier packages, three system work packages, a depot work package and an underground work package.
The RM15.47 billion underground work package was awarded to MMC Gamuda KVMRT (T) Sdn Bhd to build 11 underground stations covering 13.5km of tracks.
Shahril said with the new awards between this month and December next year, the company would have dished out packages close to RM31 billion.
“The progress has been excellent. We are going to do the ground-breaking for Putrajaya Sentral on August 26, meaning starting physical works.
“We have awarded viaduct packages to Sunway Construction Sdn Bhd, IJM Construction Sdn Bhd, Ahmad Zaki Sdn Bhd and Malaysian Resources Corp Bhd (MRCB), and they are going to start working at the end of this month.”
Sunway Construction will build three stations from Damansara Damai to Sri Damansara at a cost of RM1.4 billion and Ahmad Zaki will construct four stations from Kepong Sentral to Jinjang for RM1.44 billion.
IJM Construction will build four stations from Sri Delima to Jalan Ipoh for RM1.47 billion and MRCB will construct two stations from Cyberjaya to Putrajaya for RM648 million.
