MyHSR Corp calls for tender to appoint final survey consultants for KL-Singapore HSR

KUALA LUMPUR: MyHSR Corp Sdn Bhd will call for a tender to appoint the final survey consultants (FSC) for the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore High Speed Rail (KL-SG HSR) project this Friday.
The FSC tender will be divided into six packages, with three packages reserved for bumiputra firms. The main scopes of the FSC are to conduct land survey and provide land administration support for the land acquisition process for the KL-SG HSR project within Malaysia.
The availability of the land for construction works is essential for the KL-SG HSR project. Upon approval of the railway scheme for the project, the identified land will be acquired by the government in accordance to Section 8 of Land Acquisition Act 1960 (Act 486). The land acquisition application is expected to commence in June 2018 with the first land to be acquired for the main infrastructures such as stations, maintenance facilities and tunnel portals.
"We encourage local firms with relevant experience to participate in the tender to provide expertise on land survey works and to assist with the land acquisition activities. Land acquisition is a critical activity for the project and has significant impact to the overall delivery of the KL-SG HSR project," said MyHSR Corp CEO Datuk Mohd Nur Ismal Mohamed Kamal in a statement.
The tender is open to experienced companies registered with the Ministry of Finance, while the individual licensed land surveyor from the companies must be registered with the Land Surveyors Board of Malaysia.
