A SIGNING ceremony between MRT Corp and MMC Gamuda KVMRT (PDP SSP) Sdn Bhd was held on 13 July 2015, for the appointment of the latter as Project Delivery Partner for the MRT Sungai Buloh-Serdang-Putrajaya Line (SSP Line).

CEO Dato’ Sri Shahril Mokhtar signed on behalf of MRT Corp while MMC Corporation Berhad Group Managing Director Dato’ Sri Che Khalib Mohamad Noh and Gamuda Berhad Executive Director Dato’ Ir Paul Ha, signed on behalf of the PDP.

Both Che Khalib and Ha are Directors of MMC Gamuda KVMRT (PDP SSP) Sdn Bhd.

Also present at the ceremony which was held at MRT Corp Corporate Headquarters were MRT Corp Project Director SSP Line Encik Amiruddin Maaris who witnessed the signing of the agreements , MRT Corp Chief Financial Officer Encik Mohd Hairul Abdul Hamid, and Gamuda Bhd Executive Director Dato’ Azmi Mat Nor.

Shahril said the signing of the PDP Agreement was an historic milestone for the development of the SSP Line, the second line of the Klang Valley MRT Project.

“I am very happy that we have finally concluded negotiations and sealed the PDP Agreement.

“MRT Corp and MMC Gamuda have already forged a good partnership with each other after working together for the MRT Sungai Buloh-Kajang Line (SBK Line). I am glad we will now continue to work together to deliver the SSP Line to the rakyat,” Shahril said.

Shahril said the terms of the agreement had also been agreed to by the Ministry of Finance and the Attorney-General’s Chambers.

Under the agreement, MMC Gamuda as PDP will be responsible for the delivery of the SSP Line within the agreed target cost and target delivery date.

On top of the above two Key Performance Indicators, which were similar to those for the MRT SBK Line, four additional KPIs have now been included in the PDP Agreement.

The additional KPIs are ensuring compliance with Safety, Health and Environment requirements; compliance with agreed quality standards; timely response to public complaints and implementation of stakeholder management.

 “I can see that the PDP Agreement for the SSP Line is much more refined and an improvement from that for the SBK Line. Both parties have learnt a lot from the partnership for the SBK Line and I am happy to see that the learnings have been incorporated into this new Agreement.
