The bidders for the Metro North rail project have been told that the date for the submission of tenders has been extended by more than two months to February next year.
The Railway Procurement Agency (RPA) has told the four consortiums vying for the multibillion euro project that their detailed costings now have to be submitted by February 6, rather than November 27.The RPA has reassured the bidders that the project will go ahead despite the decline in the government finances.
An RPA spokesman said the date had been changed ‘‘at the request of some of the bidders’’. He said that the RPA was ready to submit an application for a railway order for the Metro North - which will run between Swords and St Stephen’s Green – to An Bord Pleanála.
‘‘The railway order application, which is over 3,000 pages, is at the printers and ready to go this week,” he said. ‘‘It contains all the drawings, reference books, and a comprehensive environmental impact study. It will be out on display by the board.”
