CONSULTANCY AGREEMENT NO.: C1602

 

Pre-qualification for Preliminary Design for Northern Link Phase 2

 

Expressions of Interest are invited from combined multi-disciplinary professional consultants

 

 

1.1  The Northern Link (NOL) is envisaged as a key transport infrastructure in the Northwest New Territories and New Territories North. The NOL will connect the Kam Sheung Road (KSR) Station on West Rail Line (WRL) and a new Kwu Tung (KTU) Station on East Rail Line (EAL), forming a loop in the northern New Territories.  

 

1.2  MTR Corporation Limited completed a technical study for NOL and submitted a project proposal to Government in 2017. The NOL comprises two phases. Phase 1 is a new KTU Station along the Lok Ma Chau Spur Line of EAL between Sheung Shui Station and Lok Ma Chau Station, and Phase 2 is a 10.7-kilometre new railway link which will connect a new station adjacent to the existing KSR Station on WRL with another new station adjacent to the KTU Station to be built under NOL Phase 1, together with three intermediate stations at San Tin, Ngau Tam Mei and Au Tau.  Expressions of Interest are invited from suitably qualified combined multi-disciplinary consultants who have established or must establish an office in Hong Kong and have previous experience in railway design or feasibility studies, to carry out the design for NOL Phase 2.

 

1.3   It is anticipated that the design will be led by a civil and structural engineering consultant.

 

 

The scope of preliminary design for NOL Phase 2 will include:

 

      (a) a multi-disciplinary technical study to develop, illustrate and complete the design of the railway scheme;

      (b) adoption of Building Information Modelling to develop the coordinated design and federated model, and to
            prepare deliverables of the project;

      (c) preparation of programmes, project risk assessments and cost estimates;

      (d) liaison with Government Departments and the relevant authorities to acquire all the necessary statutory
            requirements and to prepare enquiry submissions;

      (e) preparation of the gazette plans; and

      (f) providing supports to public consultation.
