PROJECTS: Abu Dhabi prequalifies companies from 8 countries for PPP road lighting project

The Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO), in collaboration with the Department of Municipal and Transport (DMT), has pre-qualified nine companies for Phase 2 of its Road Lighting LED public-private partnership (PPP) project tender.

 

The project, which forms part of the Abu Dhabi Road Lighting Programme, includes the finance, supply, installation, operation and maintenance of 135,742 LED energy-efficient luminaires in Abu Dhabi emirate, ADIO said in a press statement.

 

The 9 prequalified companies hail from eight countries, namely the UAE, China, Egypt, France, Germany, India, Israel and Singapore. The prequalified companies are:

 

1. CRCCI (China Railway Construction Corporation International)
2. Dussman Gulf
3. DUTCO Construction
4. EDF (Electricite de France)
5. EESL/Hansa Energy Solutions
6. Orascom
7. Saif Bin Darwish
8. Shikun and Binui
9. ST Engineering

 

ADIO said the project, which is being procured in accordance with the PPP Law, will result in significant electricity savings of almost 2,400 million kWh, equivalent to a reduction of approximately 76 percent in power consumption, over the 12-year concession period.

 

It said the pre-qualified bidders will be invited to participate in the next stage of the procurement process and submit detailed proposals in response to a Request for Proposal (RFP).

 

In April, Zawya had reported that RFP for Phase 2 would be issued on 25 July and close on 12 December 2021.

 

Phase 1 of PPP lighting project, which achieved commercial closure in September 2020, was awarded to Abu Dhabi-based Tatweer Middle East and Africa in March 2020. The 12-year design, build, finance, operate and maintain (DBFOM) concession agreement involved the replacement of approximately 43,000 of the capital’s streetlights with energy-efficient LED lights.
