LANTAU EXTENSION PROJECTS

 

Pre-qualification for
Main Control System
Contract No.: 1259

 

Expressions of Interest are invited from suitably qualified Applicants for the works and services as described below. This procurement is subject to the World Trade Organization Agreement on Government Procurement. 

 

The Tung Chung Line Extension (TUE) at Lantau North is a railway scheme to improve railway accessibility to the Tung Chung East & West areas. The Tung Chung Line (TCL) overrun tunnels at the existing Tung Chung Station will be extended to the new station Tung Chung West. Tung Chung East Station will be located on the operational line east of the existing Tung Chung Station (TUC). The new stations shall offer direct railway access to the Tung Chung New Town Extension (TCNTE) in support of its long-term, sustainable growth in population and employment opportunities.

 

A new above ground station Oyster Bay Station (OYB) with side platforms alongside the operating track of TCL is also envisaged under the Siu Ho Wan Depot (SHD) Property Development. The station is part of the future 3-phase development to complement the first population intake of the site.

 

In addition to the base scope of works for TUE, SHD Phase 1 and OYB above, the contract will include option(s) for works for the Tuen Mun South Extension (TME), Kwu Tung Station on East Rail Line (KTU(EAL)) and Hung Shui Kiu Station (HSK).

 

The proposed Tuen Mun South Extension (TME) project is the extension of the Tuen Ma Line (TML) southward from its existing terminal at Tuen Mun Station, via a new station at Tuen Mun Area 16, to a new terminus at Tuen Mun South in the vicinity of Tuen Mun Ferry Pier, to serve more communities in the region.

 

The proposed Kwu Tung Station on East Rail Line (KTU(EAL)) is a part of the Northern Link (NOL) which is envisaged as a key transport infrastructure in the North and Northwest of the New Territories. It will connect the TML and the East Rail Line (EAL), forming a loop in the northern New Territories. The NOL project will be implemented in phases, and a new Kwu Tung Station will be built between Sheung Shui Station (SHS) and Lok Ma Chau Station (LMC) on the existing EAL, and it will serve as an interchange station between the EAL and the NOL later after the new railway commences service.

 

The proposed Hung Shui Kiu (HSK) Station is a new railway station located between Tin Shui Wai Station (TIS) and Siu Hong Station (SIH) on the existing TML to serve the existing and future population of the Hung Shui Kiu / Ha Tsuen New Development Area (HSK/HT NDA).

 

Expressions of Interest are invited from suitably qualified contractors who have the necessary experience, capability and resources to carry out the design and build works of Main Control System for the aforesaid Projects.

 

2.1 Contract 1259 will be tendered and awarded as Design and Build Contract, using NEC4 Engineering and Construction Contract June 2017 (with amendments October 2020) – Option C: Target Contract with Activity Schedule. In keeping with the Corporation’s partnering approach, preference will be given to contractors who can clearly demonstrate and foster a collaborative working approach and a shared commitment and innovative ideas with advance technologies to achieve a successful project outcome.
