Request for Expressions of Interest


The Ministry of Housing, Utilities & Urban Development (MOHUD) of the Arab Republic of Egypt, General Organization of Physical Planning (GOPP), has obtained a Japan Policy and Human Resources Development (PHRD) grant towards preparation costs of the Integrated Governorate Development Project- Greater Cairo Development Project (GCDP). The Government of Egypt intends to apply part of the proceeds for consultant services regarding PREPARATION OF PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING DESIGN AND BID DOCUMENTS - HELIOPOLIS TRAM UPGRADING AND EXTENSION.

The objective of this assignment is to prepare preliminary engineering designs, with options, for the first phase upgrading of Heliopolis Tram system into a Light Rail Transit, including extension of the system from Heliopolis to New Cairo City via Naser city, and prepare design-build bid documents. More specifically, the consulting firm shall:
• Propose alternatives, discuss and design standards for the proposed first phase Heliopolis tram system upgrade and extension
• To prepare preliminary engineering designs (with options as appropriate) for the first phase upgrading and extension of the system, including all passenger facilities, power system, grade separation, etc.
• To determine the approximate system capital and operating cost, likely revenue, and estimated subsidies required of Government to operate and maintain the system
• To prepare draft bidding documents for a design-build contractor who will construct that portion of the system assigned to the public sector.
• To design associated traffic management measures along the Girls College to Cairo Ring Road and the section of the system into New Cairo, including traffic signal installations, tram/street crossings, pedestrian crossings, street lighting, and on-street parking measures.
This study will be build in good analytical work that have already been carried out and be conducted in conjunction with a separate study to determine and design the most suitable public-private-partnership (PPP) arrangements and concession agreement.
