MANILA -- The Department of Transportation (DOTr) has awarded to the consortium of DMCI Holdings Inc. and a Japanese firm the Tutuban to Bocaue segment of the North-South Commuter Railway (NSCR) Project.
The DOTr is set to sign a contract with the consortium for the local civil works contractor of the first package of the Philippine National Railways (PNR) North Phase 1 on May 10, Assistant Secretary for Communications Goddes Hope Libiran said.
“Yes, that’s correct. We will issue an advisory soon,” Libiran said in a text message to the Philippine News Agency (PNA) on Monday.
Manila Electric Company (Meralco) Senior Vice President Ronnie Aperocho disclosed to the media that the consortium of DMCI and Japanese construction firm, Taisei Corporation, was awarded the contract for Package 1 of the PNR North Phase 1 traversing from Tutuban to Bocaue, which is set to be signed next month.
“We expect Package 1 which is from Tutuban to Bocaue to commence this year as the contract signing has been set for May 10,” Aperocho said in a media briefing on Meralco’s financial results for the first quarter of the year held Monday.
The Meralco official said it is set to conduct major mobilizations, particularly the relocation of its power facilities along the proposed rail line of the PNR North Phase 1 Project.
The PNR North Phase 1 Project is a 38 kilometer rail line from Tutuban in Manila to Malolos in the province of Bulacan, which is seen to serve around 340,000 passengers daily once it starts operations in 2021.
Its second package, which traverses from Bocaue to Malolos, was awarded to the consortium of Sumitomo-Mitsui Construction Co. Ltd. last January.
The civil works and building components of the project have two contract packages: the first covers elevated structures, seven stations and a depot while the second includes elevated structures and three stations.
The groundbreaking of the PNR North Phase 1 Project was held last February 15 in Malolos, Bulacan.
The 147-kilometer NSCR Project estimated to cost around PHP 777.55 billion will have 36 stations from Clark International Airport to Los Banos, Laguna.
The railway project will connect PNR Clark Phase 1 (Tutuban-Malolos) PNR Clark Phase 2 (Malolos-Clark) and the PNR Los Banos Project, which will run from Manila to Los Banos. It will also link with existing railway lines LRT-1, LRT-2, MRT-3 and the Metro Manila Subway. (PNA)
