Подрядчики готовят заявки на строительство новой золотой линии метро Дубая

Contractors are preparing to submit their prequalification statements on 7 September for a contract to build the new Gold Line as part of the Dubai Metro network’s expansion. Dubai’s Roads & Transport Authority (RTA) issued the request for qualification notice for the project in June, with an initial submission deadline of 17 August, as MEED exclusively reported. This followed the RTA’s invitation to contractors to express interest in building the new Gold Line in May. Dubai officially announced the launch of the new Gold Line in April. In a post on social media site X, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al-Maktoum, UAE Vice President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, said the project will cost about AED34bn ($9.2bn). The Gold Line will increase the Dubai Metro network’s total length by 35%. The project is scheduled for completion in September 2032. The Gold Line will be a fully underground network covering more than 42 kilometres, with 18 stations. It will pass through 15 areas in Dubai, benefiting 1.5 million residents. The project is expected to provide connectivity to over 55 under-construction real estate development projects. The Gold Line will start at Al-Ghubaiba in Bur Dubai and end at Jumeirah Golf Estates. It will connect to Dubai Metro’s existing Red and Green lines and integrate with the Etihad Rail passenger line. The contractor will be responsible for the design and build of all civil works, electromechanical equipment, rolling stock and rail systems. The selected contractor will also be required to assist in the systems maintenance and operations during an initial three-year period. In October last year, MEED exclusively reported that the RTA had selected US-based engineering firm Aecom to provide consultancy services for the Dubai Metro Gold Line project. Stage one covers concept design, stage two covers preliminary design, stage three covers the preparation of tender documents, stage four encompasses construction supervision, and stage five covers the defects and liability period.
