The Egyptian National Authority for Tunnels (NAT) proposed a limited tender for the consultancy for the rehabilitation of Raml Tram in Alexandria, from Victoria station to Raml station and an extension to Manshya Square with a total length of 13.7 km and including 28 stations. The consultancy offices willing to participate in the tender have to provide proof of their previous experience in consultancy services. According to an official at the NAT, it would be better if the companies formed alliances among them, including foreign and local partners. The project includes civil works, arrangements, power supplies, electro-mechanical equipment and systems, toll equipment and workshop, signaling and driving modes, centralised control systems, telecommunications systems, track works, and rolling stock. The project also aims to increase the tram’s capacity to 350,000 passengers daily at a cost of EGP 360m.
