HCMC proposes no-bid contracts for urgent infrastructure projects

HCMC on Monday asked the central Government for permission to award no-bid contracts for investors to implement urgent infrastructure projects.

These projects, which will be carried out in the public-private partnership (PPP) format, include phases one, two and four of Ring Road No. 2 project, and high-rise parking lots at September 23 Park, Ly Thuong Kiet residential area, Gia Dinh Park, District 8 bus terminal, and districts 5 and Tan Phu.

To ease traffic pressure on the main roads leading to Tan Son Nhat International Airport, the city suggested the Ministry of Transport reduce aircraft movements at the airport at rush hour and increase those at night.

The city also asked the Government for approval to proceed with a plan to test emissions of motorcycles with engine capacity of 175cc or higher in the 2018-2020 period. After 2020, the city will send a report on the plan to the Prime Minister before it carries out the next phase of the plan, in which motorcycles with engine capacity below 175cc will be tested for emissions.

For waterway transport, the city suggested the Ministry of Transport adjust the waterway transport plan for Cat Lai Port to make it compatible with the city’s general waterway transport development plan until 2020.
