AUSTRALIA - FINANCING, DESIGN, MANUFACTURE AND MAINTENANCE OF ELECTRIC PASSENGER TRAINS

Source: RailCorp
Due: October 13, 2004

RFT Number: 2004/0106E RFT Title: Request for Expression of Interest - Financing, Design, Manufacture and Maintenance of Electric Passenger Trains Category: Machinery and transport equipment manufacture Closing Date: 13 Oct 2004 Closing Time: 10:00 AM (NSW & ACT Local Time) Location: Sydney [<empty>] Description:

1. RailCorp's Requirements

RailCorp's core business is the safe provision of rail services to customers. In order to achieve this it requires an appropriate number of trains of the required standard and reliability to be available to operate the timetabled services. It is looking as a minimum for proposals for a modern, safe, reliable, air-conditioned fleet.

RailCorp intends to implement solutions which address all the objectives described below and has decided that the appropriate mechanism is a public private partnership ("PPP") for the financing, design, manufacture and maintenance of the replacement rollingstock and any related facilities. This will be an arrangement where payment is based on the performance against a number of Key Performance Indicators of the PPP Company (being the successful private sector company with which RailCorp enters into a Project Deed) over the reasonable life of the assets.

RailCorp does not intend to specify the number of train sets required to be manufactured, but only the number required to be available for service. This number is currently estimated to be in the order of 125 four-car sets. RailCorp is interested in proposals that maximise value by optimising whole life cost and maximising utilisation.

For this arrangement to be successful the PPP Company must demonstrate strong experience, capability and capacity in the maintenance of trains or comparable assets. The preferred site for carrying out maintenance of the replacement rollingstock has not yet been established, but a RailCorp-owned greenfield site at Auburn is an available option.

Further details of RailCorp’s requirements are set out in Section 4 of the EOI Document.

RailCorp is consulting with Labor Council on the potential to involve the successful Proponent in the upgrade of existing maintenance facilities. Any additional scope for the PPP arising from these discussions will be specified in the Request for Detailed Proposals (RDP).

2. Objectives of the PPP

The objectives of the Public Private Partnership ("the Project") are to:

1. Procure a modern, safe, well maintained, reliable fleet of air-conditioned rollingstock for the CityRail travelling public by the end of 2010;

2. Minimise fleet whole of life costs and deliver demonstrable value for money;

3. Support a contestable marketplace for the supply, maintenance, modification and refurbishment of electric passenger rollingstock;

4. Ensure the PPP is consistent with the provision of secure employment and skills upgrading for current Passenger Fleet Maintenance employees; and

5. Deliver the project in accordance with applicable standards and procedures, including the Working with Government Guidelines (www.nsw.gov.au/wwg).

RailCorp commenced the first stage of the PPP procurement process with an openly invited Registration of Interest which is now complete. The list of registrants is available from the Contact Officer or can be found at:

https://tenders.nsw.gov.au/railcorp/shared/rftdetail.cfm?p_id=4487&p_criteria=2004%2F0101I&p_advert=0

RailCorp has since invited registrants and other interested parties to informal ‘market sounding’ discussions on the objectives and structure of the PPP. The outcomes of this are reflected in this Request for Expressions of Interest ("EOI").

3. Purpose of this Request for Expressions of Interest

The purpose of this EOI is to:

1. Invite responses ("Responses") from capable Proponents that wish to be shortlisted for the Project; and

2. Allow RailCorp to shortlist Proponents to proceed to the next stage of the procurement.

Proponents may be either consortia or individual firms, but RailCorp will expect Responses to demonstrate the project management, technical, financial, commercial and other experience, capability and capacity to supply and maintain all or a significant proportion of the replacement rollingstock and fulfil all obligations (not only parts of the project) for the duration of the term.

4. Additional Technical Information

Appendix 3 of the EOI gives references to material available on the web. Access to this material is restricted and requires a password. Proponents may obtain a password from the Contact Officer.

Appendix 7 of the EOI refers to photographs of RailCorp maintenance facilities. These are available on CD-ROM on application to the Contact Officer.

Appendix 7 refers to site layouts of RailCorp maintenance facilities. These diagrams may be obtained by e-mail from the Contact Officer. Please note that these diagrams should be regarded as indicative only, as they are of poor reproductive quality and may be out of date. Updated versions are expected to be available at the RDP stage.

5. Market Briefing Session

A market briefing session will be held for prospective Proponents from 10am to 12 noon on Friday 10 September 2004 at

Level 41

Governor Macquarie Tower

One Farrar Place

Sydney NSW 2000

Attendance is recommended but not mandatory. To register to attend the briefing, please contact the Contact Officer.

Notes of the briefing session will be forwarded to all attendees and posted on this website.

6. Site Visit

An all-day site visit of RailCorp’s electric train maintenance sites has been arranged for prospective Proponents on Sunday 12th September 2004. Attendance is recommended but not mandatory. The bus will depart from the Maintrain carpark, corner of Manchester Road Auburn, at 7.15am. Numbers are limited and those wishing to attend should register with the Contact Officer by Monday 6 September 2004. Subject to the response, there may be a need to arrange a second site visit on a different day. Proponents are requested to restrict the number of attendees to 2 persons per organisation.

Tender Type:

Open Tenders - An invitation to tender by public advertisement with no restriction placed on who may tender. Tenderers will normally be required to demonstrate in their tender that they have the necessary skills, resources, experience, financial capacity, and in some cases licences, accreditations, etc., to fulfil the tender requirements.

Closing Date: 13 Oct 2004 Closing Time: 10:00 AM (NSW & ACT Local Time) Location: Sydney [<empty>] Description:

RailCorp's XPT fleet consists of cars between 9 and 20 years old which are expected to remain in service for at least a further 10 years. The fleet consists of 60 trailer cars and 19 power cars.

The work forms overall refurbishment of the XPT fleet to return the cars to as-new condition in terms of presentation, passenger and crew comfort, reliability, and performance. The project will also introduce modifications to achieve improved performance, safety, and compliance with latest standards and regulations.

The last major refurbishment of the older trailer cars was in 1993.

The Scope of Works comprises of Scheduled Works (mandatory), Out of Course Works (subject to Joint Inspection) and Options (which may or may not be taken up by the Purchaser).

Source: World Bank
Due: October 26, 2004

A grant has been awarded by the Public-Private Infrastructure Advisory Facility (PPIAF) to allow the World Bank to develop an interactive global toolkit for the regulation and organization of urban bus services.

Consultant services will be required to develop an interactive global toolkit, to be made available through the web and in CD-ROM form with the objective to: (i) set out the alternatives available to policy makers to develop options for a more market based approach based on competitively tendered bus franchise arrangements; and (ii) guide national and city policy makers through the process of planning, regulating bus transport services and developing institutional options for improving passenger transport services in an environmentally and socially sustainable manner. The consultants will use detailed information from previously commissioned studies on about 12 cities (located in Latin America, Africa, South Asia and East Asia) in developing countries which are in the process of introducing market based reforms as an input, and previous World Bank financed work on experience in countries (whether in developing countries or not) which have successfully undertaken reforms, in preparing the toolkit. Consultants will be required to offer a thorough understanding of the substance of the reform processes as well as a strong capability in the development of interactive web-based training programs within the team. The services are expected to be completed in about six month period, starting in March 2005.

The Bank now invites interested and eligible consultants to indicate their interest in providing the services. Interested consultants must provide information (one copy) indicating that they are qualified to perform the services (brochures, description of similar assignments, experience in similar conditions, availability of appropriate skills among staff). Consultants may associate to enhance their qualifications.

A consultant will be selected using a fixed-budget selection method.

Interested consultants may obtain further information at the address below.

CANADA – PARATRANSIT BUSES

Source: Toronto Transit Commission
Due: November 9, 2004

REFERENCE NO. R34PD04877

Date Posted: Monday, September 20, 2004 Proposal Close Date: 4:00 pm, Tuesday, November 9, 2004 Addenda Issued to Date: None Description of the Work: The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) is currently preparing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the provision to replace a portion of its para-transit buses in 2007. Wheel Trans currently operates 145 buses in door-to-door and shuttle type service, as well it contracts with a number of accessible taxi firms, which also support the TTC’s para-transit service. The anticipated issuance of the RFP is late Fall of 2005. The purpose of this enquiry is to determine if key requirements in the Commission’s draft specifications can be achieved by potential proponents for the design and supply of mid-size low floor buses and low floor wheelchair accessible taxi vehicles. Consistent with the Commission’s expectations of high quality, product durability, vehicle longevity, convenient and dependable parts supply and economical warranty and maintenance aspects, the upcoming RFP will specify key performance requirements. Compliance with these requirements would be essential as part of an acceptable RFP submission. The key draft specification requirements are as follows: Certification/Compliance Vehicles must meet or exceed all D-409 regulations, CMVSS regulations and MTO regulations for the province of Ontario. All applicable testing which relates to original vehicle modifications performed by the manufacturer must be available upon request and provided for as part of a formal RFP.

PERU - LIMA URBAN RAIL FEASIBILITY STUDY

Source: U.S. Trade & Development Agency
Due: November 30, 2004

Lima has grown into one of Latin America's largest and most populous metropolitan areas. Because the city is experiencing uncontrolled growth, and is in need of an adequately planned transportation system, Lima is suffering from severe air pollution and traffic congestion. To address these consequences, the Autoridad Autónoma del Proyecto Especial Sistema Eléctrico de Transporte Masivo de Lima y Callao (Autonomous Authority), a municipal transportation agency owned by the Metropolitan Municipality of Lima, is developing an integrated mass transit urban rail plan for the city of Lima. The Autonomous Authority owns and manages concessions for the $312 million Lima train system.

The present concept for the development of a rail system in Lima has focused on its development within the context of the overall urban and countrywide transportation network and calls the new project the "spinal column" of the Peruvian intermodal network, with an emphasis on its connection to the major cargo port of Callao just outside Lima. The proposed project envisions the construction of a system of infrastructure and rolling stock that in the first stage will operate over two main axes: the first, from Callao on the Pacific to Chosica in the east, and the second from Villa El Salvador in the south to the center of the city. The southern line is not included in the feasibility study. In the first stage, the east-west line will be upgraded only as far east as Vitarte, covering a distance of 26 kilometers. While urban rail dates back to the 1960s in Lima, the Autonomous Authority is confident that the project will solve the transportation problems and will provide a more reliable, less polluting means of mass transit for its citizens.

The Autonomous Authority requested USTDA feasibility study funding support for instituting urban rail passenger service on the Callao-Chosica corridor. The total cost for the study is estimated at $477,000. The Autonomous Authority will contribute $152,000 to complete the full terms of reference for the study. The feasibility study will assess the economic and financial viability of offering both freight and passenger service on the existing right of way, given parameters for speed of operation, equipment capacity, station and equipment profiles and other engineering factors provided by the Autonomous Authority.

The study will place particular emphasis on station construction costs, traffic forecasting, equipment utilization, and financing costs. The terms of reference for the feasibility study include the following: 1) technical analysis of rehabilitation/service plan and equipment configuration; 2) economic/ market analysis; 3) financial analysis; 4) environmental and habitational studies; 5) supporting legal regulatory analysis; and 6) submission of a final report.

ROMANIA – US TDA POSITIVE TRAIN CONTROL FEASIBILITY STUDY

Source: US TDA

USTDA received a proposal from the U.S. firm, Seneca Group, LLC (Seneca), for partial funding for a feasibility study to develop a business case study on the implementation of a Positive Train Control (PTC) system for Romania. A USTDA grant was signed with the Romanian Ministry of Transport, Construction and Tourism in support of this project. The total cost for this study is estimated to be $330,000. Seneca will cost-share $80,000 to complete the study.

The Romanian Rail System's ability to monitor and control its train assets needs to be improved. Current limitations are negatively affecting the operational safety of the rail lines as well as restricting economic growth. The proposed project will build an effective business case for establishing a train control system with a Location Determination System and a PTC system that could safely run trains on the track with less than one mile of separation between one another. This will increase the capacity of the rail lines and improve safety since the new system can override the engineer and stop the train if another train is detected. The terms of reference for this project are as follows: 1) technical, economic, financial and environmental analysis; 2) regulatory issue review; 3) goods and services to be delivered; 4) implementation plan for three phase program tasks; and 5) prepare final report.

BRAZIL – US TDA JUIZ DE FORA LIGHT RAIL FEASIBILITY STUDY

Source: US TDA

The project sponsor, Municipality of Juiz de Fora and the Municipality's Office of Planning and Strategic Management, received a grant from USTDA for a feasibility study for a proposed light rail project that would relieve traffic congestion and support sustainable growth in Brazil. Juiz de Fora is a growing city of approximately 500,000. Traffic growth has overtaken the city's existing system of bus franchises. Light rail was identified as a potential solution when the city conducted its most recent Urban Transportation Master Plan in 1996-97. The proposed light rail system will consist of two lines: 1) Santa Lucia-Vale dos Bandeirantes is proposed to run 7 kilometers along the principal downtown thoroughfare Avenida Rio Branco and would handle approximately 75% of the traffic volume. 2) Via Ideal-Benfica is proposed to run 19 kilometers on an existing rail track that is occupied by private freight rail concessionaire MRS Logistica. This line is projected to initially handle about 25% of the passenger volume but traffic is expected to increase along with this rapidly growing area of the city. A summary of the specific tasks of the feasibility study is as follows: 1) diagnostic/review of Juiz de Fora demand studies; 2) mass transit demand update and rates scenarios; 3) assessment of infrastructure and signaling options; 4) assessment of vehicle options; 5) ticketing, transfers and passenger flow systems and procedures; and 6) system recommendations and final report.

This first stage will serve the north and south cones and the center of the city, home

to about 3.5 million inhabitants, 60% of whom have per capita incomes below US$75 per month. The Lima Urban Transportation Program (PTUL) is expected to carry about 630,000 passengers per day. The operating firms will run 250 articulated buses on the arterial network and 154 conventional buses on feeder roads, all of them new and using environmentally-friendly types of fuel. The arterial system will provide easy access to users with physical disabilities, including special elevators at bus stops with non level entry, and level entry embarkation and disembarkation at terminals.

VIETNAM – HANOI URBAN TRANSPORTATION PROJECT

The World Bank is preparing a new project (estimated Board Approval date: February 2006) in the $120-140 million range. Broadly, the project will consist of three components:

• A bus transport component (total US$35-40 million, IDA+GEF US$30-35 million) to (i) support reorganization the bus system; (ii) development of busways and bus priority on a selection of new and existing roads; and (iii) development of bus maintenance facilities, and secure ticketing systems.

• A road infrastructure component. (total US$100-110 million, IDA US$75-85 million). that includes construction of a section of Ring Road 2 (6 km) from Cau Say north to the dyke road (the site of the planned bridge at Nhat Tan) to facilitate development of the area West of West Lake, and ultimately North of Red River. In addition, Hanoi has proposed the Western extension of Hoang Quoc Viet Street (1.5 km). The two road sections go through a combination of farmland and settled land and will entail resettlement.

• Institutional strengthening.(~US$15-20 million IDA+GEF US$ 15-20 million)

Subcomponents will cover safety (US$5 million requested) and air quality (US$7 million requested) measures as requested by HPC, along with the project’s three major policy foci: reform of bus services, capacity building for integrated land use and transport development, and promotion of a PT oriented urban transport policy that covers issues such as parking, traffic control and vehicular restrictions. Although these components still need to be defined, it is likely that they will support studies, training, equipment and other technical assistance.

BRAZIL - CURITIBA URBAN TRANSPORT PROGRAM II

This IDB project, approved January 14, 2004, has three components:

1. Creation of the Metropolitan Transit Corridor (EMT) (¥7,607,645,000)

This component will transform the interstate highway BR-116/476 corridor that separates the city of Curitiba in two into a city boulevard serviced by a new public transit corridor featuring high-capacity biarticulated buses. The busway will be fully linked into the RIT through three transfer terminals and twelve intermediate stations. It will connect with the rest of the road system via intersecting cross streets an average of one kilometer apart. The design calls for dedicated median lanes for biarticulated buses and three express lanes and a side lane for local traffic in each direction, creating a "trinary" roadway configuration typical of Curitiba’s mass transit system. All these lanes will lie within the same EMT right-of-way. Also planned along this corridor are green spaces, parks, and bicycle paths. The three EMT transit corridors with dedicated bus lanes will be: (i) the South– Center–South busway connecting with the Pinheirinho transfer station and the Central station and providing alternate city-center access for residents of south Curitiba and the municipalities of Fazenda Rio Grande and Araucaria; (ii) the North–Center–North busway with connections via the Atuba and Central stations and affording alternate city-center access for residents of northern Curitiba and the municipalities of Colombo, Campina Grande do Sul, and Quatro Barras; and (iii) the North–South–North busway providing connections via Atuba and Pinheirinho stations and expediting travel between outlying municipalities in the Curitiba metropolitan region. A fleet of vehicles specially designed to run on the EMT needs to be acquired to be able to operate these three new transit corridors. One of the specifications for the required biarticulated buses is that they be compatible with stations and platforms on the city’s other arterial busways. These 270-passenger buses can board and offload riders at bus-floor level and are built with low-emission engines.

2. Integrated Transit System capacity expansion (¥4,422,930,000)

This component will expand RIT capacity by way of new construction and equipment installation, to shorten travel times for the city’s mass transit riders and make the system more efficient. The bulk of the construction work is designed to modernize the Inter-2 secondary circular route, modernize and optimize the traffic signal system, and remodel four existing bus stations, which will help optimize travel on the North-South arterial corridor.

3. Road safety improvements (¥367,680,000)

The road safety component designed to achieve one of the proposed program’s central objectives calls for new remote traffic control systems, development of an accident reporting database, and installation of traffic signals, sensors and signs to better equip the Municipality to manage road safety.
