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

 

1.1 The MTR Corporation Limited (the Corporation) is committed to serving the transportation needs of the community of Hong Kong by the provision of world class railway facilities. The Lifts and Escalators for the 2 new extension projects as detailed below are packaged under Contracts 1257 and 1258:

 

• 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 (TUC) will be extended to the new station Tung Chung West. Tung Chung East Station will be located on the operational line between the existing Tung Chung Station and Sunny Bay Station. The two 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 opening of the new station will complement the first population intake of the development; and

• Airport Railway Extended Overrun Tunnel (ARO), a proposed extension of the existing overrun tunnel and will be located east of the existing Hong Kong Station (HOK).

1.2 To provide synergy for the works, the Corporation is considering bundling the Lifts and Escalators system for Tuen Mun South Extension (TME), Kwu Tung Station (KTU(EAL)) and Hung Shui Kiu (HSK) Station under these Contracts. The projects details are as follow:

 

• Tuen Mun South Extension (TME) project is the extension of the Tuen Ma Line (TML) southward from its existing terminal at Tuen Mun Station to serve more communities in the region by providing commuters with our safe, reliable, efficient and environmentally friendly railway service;

• 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 Northwest New Territories and New Territories North. 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; and

• Hung Shui Kiu (HSK) Station is a proposed 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).
