Pre-qualification for
Environmental Term Consultancy for Tung Chung Line Extension 
Consultancy Agreement No.: C12004

 

Expressions of Interest are invited from suitable qualified Applicants for the services described below. 

 

The MTR Corporation Limited (the Corporation) is committed to serving the transport needs of the community of Hong Kong by the provision of world class railway facilities. Tung Chung Line Extension (“the Project”) is a railway project to improve railway accessibility to Tung Chung East (TCE) and Tung Chung West (TCW) areas with two new stations which will 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. The Project is an approximately 1.3km extension of the existing Tung Chung Line (TCL) with two new stations namely TCE Station and TCW Station.  The at-grade TCE Station will be located approximately 2km east of the existing Tung Chung Station (TUC) at the south of the future TCNTE (East) new reclamation area. The station is bounded by the future roads in the reclamation area and the existing TCL and Airport Express Line (AEL).  The underground TCW Station and aboveground station facilities will be located at the existing rural area – west of Yat Tung Estate. The area is mostly vested on private lands currently occupied by orchard and some temporary structures.  The Emergency Access Point (EAP)/ Emergency Egress Point (EEP) building will be located at an artificial slope near Shun Tung Road.

 

Expressions of Interest are invited from suitably qualified Consultants who have the necessary experience, capability and resources to provide service of the Environmental Term Consultancy (ETC) for the Project.

 

It is envisaged that the scope of the Consultancy Agreement No. C12004 will include the provision of ETC services during the pre-construction, construction and post-construction/initial operation of the Project to prepare and submit environmental deliverables as specified in the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report, Environmental Permit (EP) and Variation of Environmental Permits (VEPs) for the Project to ensure compliance with the EP and VEPs; and to provide support to the EIA Ordinance variation process of any design changes throughout the development of the Project.  The ETC would also be responsible to carry out necessary commissioning tests and monitoring before and after the opening of the Project respectively.

 

Since the submissions prepared by the ETC will be verified by the Independent Environmental Checker (IEC), it is the intention that the successful consultant for the ETC would not be considered in the tender for the IEC consultancy service that covers the same project scope.

 

Expressions of Interest are invited from suitably qualified environmental consultants that have previous experiences in the provision of environmental consultancy services, including EIAs, IEC and Environmental Monitoring & Audit (EM&A) works in Hong Kong.

 

In keeping with the Corporation’s partnering approach, preference will be given to consultants who can clearly demonstrate and encourage shared commitment.
