Mass Rapid Transit Corporation Sdn Bhd (MRT Corp) has awarded three more systems work packages valued at RM107.3 million to several companies, including a joint venture and a consortium.

In a statement today, MRT Corp said a joint venture between A.F.S.

A contract valued at RM41.04 million for the engineering, procurement, construction, testing and commissioning of the electronic access control system for the project was meanwhile awarded to a consortium comprising Apex Communication Sdn Bhd and Johnson Controls (M) Sdn Bhd.

Another work package for the supply of the building management system for the MRT Sungai Buloh-Kajang line was awarded to Metronic Engineering Sdn Bhd. This contract is valued at RM43.04 million.

All companies had pre-qualified earlier

The contracts were given following the meeting of MRT Corp's One Stop Procurement Committee (OSPC).

The OSPC meeting was held on Oct 25 and was chaired by Treasury secretary-general Mohd Irwan Siregar Abdullah.

MRT said all the companies had earlier pre-qualified to tender for the respective systems work packages and all three contracts were for a duration of 82 months.

The company said the contracts were the first successful tenders for A.F.S. Engineering, ST Electronics and Metronic while Apex Communication has won three previous contracts for this project.

With the awards, which are subject to the signing of letters of award by all parties, MRT said 53 of the 85 works packages have now been awarded, with a total value of RM19.8 billion.

The remaining 32 packages are expected to be awarded by the end of the year.
