Fifa requires direct link between the metro and gymnasium
The deadline to bid for the project management services for the Doha Metro green and red line extensions has been moved to 1 April, according to sources familiar with the project.
MEED understands the scope was expanded last week to include the red line extension, which links to one of the gymnasiums that will be used for the 2022 Fifa World Cup.
“The scope was expanded since Fifa requires the gymnasium to have a direct metro link,” a source tells MEED.
In December last year, Qatar Rail received bids for the main contract to extend the metro's green line.
Firms that submitted a bid for the contract include:
- Aktor (Greece) / Larsen & Toubro (India) / STFA (Turkey) / Yapi Merkezi (Turkey) / Aljaber Engineering (local)
- FCC (Spain) / Consolidated Contractors Company (Lebanon)
- Impregilo (Italy) / SK Engineering & Construction (South Korea) / Galfar al-Misnad Engineering & Contracting (local)
- Porr (Austria) / Sixco / HBK Contracting(local)
- QDVC (France/local) / GS Engineering & Construction (South Korea) / Al-Darwish Engineering (local)
- Rizzani de Eccher (Italy) / Lotte E&C (South Korea) / Redco International (local)
