KUALA LUMPUR (April 27): Prasarana Malaysia Bhd expects to start awarding tenders for the RM9 billion light rail transit Line 3 (LRT 3) project in the second half of the year (2H).
Group managing director Azmi Abdul Aziz said the number of packages to be awarded was still undecided, but the plan was to offer as many as possible to attract significant participation.
“We will work hard to complete the civil engineering design and the systems so that we can open for tender. We expect the tenders to be awarded either in the third or fourth quarter,” he told a press conference yesterday.
On the progress of the project, Azmi said preliminary works had started and Prasarana would organise a media session soon to announce tender applicants which made it through the pre-qualification round.
The 37km LRT 3 will have 26 stations, with 2km of the alignment underground.
Azmi said Prasarana was committed to improving the quality of local rail services and aimed at increasing riderships by 2% per annum, driven by the completion of the LRT extension projects.
