Landbridge Railway Project Saudi Arabia Saudi Railways Company (SRC) Construction of 950-kilometre-long Landbridge project comprising a passenger and cargo railway line. 7,000,000,000 October 17, 2004 January 31, 2009 2016 January 29, 2012 Current Project Updated On : January 29, 2012 The client is understood to be in the process of deciding on which consortia will be awarded the main contract on this scheme. Updated On : October 12, 2011 Saudi Arabia's Council of Ministers has approved plans to build this mega project. It will be financed by the state-owned Public Investment Fund. As yet, it has not been disclosed when the successful contractor will be appointed. The scheme is expected to be completed in four years. Updated On : September 27, 2011 It is understood that the client is expected to make a decision soon on how to proceed with this stalled project. It has not yet been confirmed whether the client will award the contract on a BOT basis or if it will re-tender the scheme using a simpler engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract. No official announcement has been made, but most likely the landbridge will be a government project. Updated On : March 22, 2011 The project is still on hold. Client has completed reviewing the financial bids from four pre-qualified consortiums, which are headed by Kuwait's Agility Logistics, local Mada consortium, local Saudi Binladin Group and Al-Muhaidib/ACWA (Tarabot). It is not yet confirmed whether the client will award the contract on a build, operate and transfer (BOT) basis or if it will re-tender the project using a simpler engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract. Updated On : April 6, 2010 State-owned Saudi Arabian Railways (SAR) has become the sole owner of this development. The stalled project is expected to move ahead this year. The client, which handed over operations to SAR, was originally scheduled to award construction contracts in the first quarter of 2010.

Updated On : August 27, 2009 It is understood that the project has been put on hold, while it moves from build-operatetransfer (BOT) to engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract. Updated On : August 10, 2009 The BOT contract is now expected to be awarded in October 2009. Updated On : July 6, 2009 This project is being delayed as speculation mounts that the government will step in to fund the scheme. Contractors hoping to work on the project are not expecting any progress before early 2010. The government may now convert this project, originally proposed as a 50-year BOT deal financed through debt, into a state-funded public procurement scheme, which has long been called for by the banks. Updated On : June 25, 2009 The BOT contract is yet to be awarded. Updated On : March 8, 2009 Saudi Arabia's Shura Council has approved plans to close Saudi Railways Organisation (SRO) and replace it with a new regulatory body to oversee the Kingdom's rail programme. The move paves way for an award on this scheme. SRO is being wound up to avoid a conflict of interest arising from its dual status as a client on the project and owner of the existing section of track between Riyadh and Dammam, which will form part of the route. SRO will hand over ownership of the rail line to a new joint stock company, the Saudi Land-Bridge Company, which will run the project once a contract is awarded. Updated On : February 26, 2009 A joint bid by the consortium led by local firms ACWA Power and Saudi Binladin Group is poised to win the much-delayed contract on this scheme. The group submitted lowest of three bids, which is understood to be worth $7 billion-$9 billion. The bid is now undergoing a technical and financial assessment by the Saudi government, although no timetable for a formal contract award has been put forward. Updated On : January 27, 2009 The two leading consortiums, Tarabott and Tracc, have opened merger discussions to launch a joint bid for this project. It is understood that talks are still at an early stage, with no firm decision taken on the formation of a new group. Updated On : January 19, 2009 Contractors have been invited to submit revised bids for the BOT contract by the end of this month. Updated On : December 24, 2008 The client has re-opened the bidding process on this scheme and asked all four original consortiums to submit revised financial proposals. This move has been initiated in the light

of global financial crisis and falling raw material costs, in a move designed to achieve more accurate costs for completing the railway. Updated On : September 7, 2008 This project is facing delays because of deteriorating relationship between the client and the Tarabot consortium. The client and its adviser UBS are in final stages of choosing between rival bids submitted by Tarabot group and the second-placed Tracc consortium, which is led by Saudi Binladin Group. An award is expected in the fourth quarter of this year. Updated On : March 15, 2008 Tarabot consortium, led by Arabian Company for Power & Water Development (Acwa Power), has been selected as preferred bidder for the BOT contract. Official signing of the contract is expected soon. Updated On : December 7, 2007 It is understood that the main BOT contract will be awarded in the beginning of 2008. Updated On : December 4, 2007 It is understood that the client has signed a $21 million contract with US Freight Car America to supply 200 double stacking railcars. Updated On : November 15, 2007 Four pre-qualified consortiums have submitted bids for a contract to build the Land bridge. Local Mada, Kuwait's Agility Logistics and local Saudi Binladin Group head three of the bidding teams. The fourth, the Tarabot consortium, includes Korea's Samsung Corporation and Australian rail group Pacific National. Technical and financial analysis of the four bids has now begun. The client aims to announce a winning bidder in the first quarter of 2008. Updated On : August 31, 2007 Bids for the Land-bridge scheme are to be submitted in the first week of November 2007, after a series of delays. Final consultations are now underway between the client, its advisers UBS and the four consortiums bidding on the project. A meeting is to be held in Al-Khobar on September 03, 2007 to clear up final technical questions. Four consortiums have been invited to bid. The first three are led by local group Mada; Kuwait's Agility Logistics; and Saudi Binladin Group, with El-Seif Group. The fourth consortium includes Korea's Samsung Corporation and Australian rail group Pacific National. Updated On : May 10, 2007 This project has been postponed indefinitely, as the client is experiencing difficulties to co-ordinate between the Ministry of Transport & Municipalities and local authorities to acquire the corridor of land required. Updated On : March 10, 2007

The client has invited four groups to submit proposals by December 2007 for the BOT contract, as the project moves forward after a series of delays. The groups are local Mada; PricewaterhouseCoopers; Saudi Binladin Group, with local El-Seif Group; and France's Bouygues, with UK's Lazard. Updated On : July 27, 2006 Request for proposals (RFPs) on this scheme will be issued by the end of 2006. Meetings have been held to start work on recourse and revenue clarification with each of the four pre-qualified consortiums. Updated On : June 22, 2006 Meetings have been held with the four consortiums pre-qualified for the BOT contract. At the meetings, pre-qualifiers were invited to review details of the BOT contract in advance of the release of tender documents. Updated On : June 14, 2006 The client has finalised the list of pre-qualifiers for the BOT contract on this scheme.

The 30-year concession was due to be awarded by the third quarter of 2006, although this is now likely to be towards the end of 2006. Updated On : March 22, 2006 A decision is still pending by the government on the pre-qualification short-list for this project. Updated On : December 23, 2005 The RFP documents plus an announcement on the pre-qualification list were scheduled to be issued in late November 2005, but have been delayed. Evaluation of pre-qualification applications is still underway. The release of RFP has now been put back until early next year.

They are: Group 1 - France's Bouygues, CMA CGM; Athens-based Consolidated Contractors International Company (CCC); Egypt's Orascom Construction Industries; local Abdullatif & Mohammed al-Fozan Development Company and Omran al-Omran &

Updated On : September 22, 2005 Nine international and local consortia have submitted applications for pre-qualification on this scheme. Under the client's schedule, a short-list for the BOOT contract will be drawn up in October 2005, which will be followed by the release of request for proposals (RFP) in November 2005. Updated On : August 7, 2005 The client has extended the deadline to September 04, 2005 for receiving pre-qualification applications from international consortia. This extension is in response to demands by companies intending to bid for the project. Updated On : May 16, 2005 More than (100) local and international companies have expressed interest to the request for pre-qualification (RFP) on this project and are due to submit their RFQ documents on August 15, 2005. Under the client's schedule, a short-list on the BOT scheme will be drawn up in October 2005, which will be followed by the release of request for proposal (RFP) documents to pre-qualified firms in November 2005. Bids are due to be received by the client in May 2006, with a concession to operate the land-bridge rail link to be awarded in the third quarter of 2005. Updated On : February 20, 2005 The client plans to appoint a private sector concessionaire on this scheme in the third quarter of 2005. Under the current updated schedule, pre-qualification on the BOT scheme will now be launched by April 2005, which will be followed by the release of tender documents to pre-qualified firms in the third quarter of 2005. Bids are due to be received by the client in the first quarter of 2006, with the concession to be awarded in the third quarter of 2006. Updated On : February 9, 2005 A team of US' Parsons Brinckerhoff (PB) and Saudi Consulting Services (SaudConsult)

has been awarded the contract to carry out a route alignment study on this planned landbridge project. Under the $3 million contract, the US/local team will study environmental and geological aspects of the planned railway expansion, as well as options on upgrading the existing passenger rail track running between Riyadh and Dammam. The study is due to be completed within six months. Updated On : December 25, 2004 The client is preparing to launch the pre-qualification process in January 2005 for the first of two railway concessions to be tendered in 2005. A meeting with potential bidders and investors for the land-bridge project - connecting the industrial city of Jubail in the Eastern Province with Jeddah in the west via Dammam and Riyadh - is scheduled to be held in London in the same month. The pre-qualification process will be followed later in the year by the award of the concession to a private consortium, which could include construction and rail operating companies, equipment suppliers, shipping lines, financial institutions and passive investors. The so-called land-bridge railway will eventually provide a seamless connection between Jubail and Jeddah. It will be largely dedicated to freight transport, although limited passenger services will be offered. The concession will be granted for an agreed period of time, which could be anywhere between 20 years and 50 years. A second concession for a new 570-kilometre rail network in the west, which will link Jeddah, Makkah, Medina and Yanbu, could also be tendered in 2005. The western network will largely be dedicated to passenger services, with the Jeddah-Makkah link to be served by a high-speed train system. Updated On : August 17, 2004 The advisory team on this project has been completed following the appointment of London-based Linklaters as legal adviser. It will work in partnership with the Saudi Law Office of Abdulaziz H Fahad. The client plans to invite consortia to pre-qualify for the BOT contract on the two railway concessions in late 2004. Updated On : March 15, 2004 French railway operator Societe Nationale des Chemins de Fer (SNCF) has been awarded the mandate to provide technical advisory services on this scheme. The appointment of SNCF, which had been expected for some time, has already been approved by the Supreme Economic Council (SEC). SNCF joins the financial advisory team comprising NCB and UBS. Under the advisory mandate, SNCF, NCB and UBS will provide services on two components of the railway expansion programme - the east-west railway, linking Riyadh with Jeddah, and the western railway, which will connect Jeddah, Makkah, Medina and Yanbu. Updated On : December 25, 2003 National Commercial Bank (NCB) and UBS Warburg have been awarded the joint mandate to advise the client on how to proceed with this project. The financial advisers will form a consortium together with a technical adviser, which has yet to be appointed. It is understood that French railway operator Societe Nationale des Chemins de Fer (SNCF) is in line to win the technical advisory mandate. An award is expected in early 2004. The client also plans to invite pre-qualification in the second half of 2004 for the two railway

concessions from consortia comprising construction companies, equipment suppliers, shipping lines, rail operators and financial investors. Invitations to bid (ITBs) are due to be released to pre-qualified consortia in late 2004. Construction is expected to take three-four years. Updated On : November 29, 2003 The client has recommended a team of three international advisers to the Supreme Economic Council (SEC) to advise on how to proceed with the expansion of the railway network. Under the programme, two concessions will be awarded to foreign consortia covering two components - the east-west railway, linking Riyadh with Jeddah, and the western railway, which will interconnect Jeddah, Makkah, Madinah and Yanbu. The consortium in line for the technical and financial advisory mandate is understood to comprise National Commercial Bank (NCB), UBS Warburg and French railway operator Societe National des Chemins de Fer Francais (SNCF). The selected team has still to be approved by the SEC. Bidding is also underway for the legal mandate on this project, with an appointment expected by February 2004. The successful legal adviser will make recommendations on changes to the legal and regulatory environment to allow private sector involvement in the railways, and advise on the merger of Saudi Railways Organisation (SRO) with the future concessionaire of the east-west link. Updated On : January 2, 2003 The client has short-listed eight international groups to bid for the consultancy contract on this project. They are Citigroup, Saudi American Bank and Kellogg Brown & Root; Credit Agricole Indosuez, Banque Saudi Fransi, WS Atkins, Fleischmann Consulting and Consulting Centre for Finance & Investment; Ernst & Young, Jacob Gibb Engineering and Jacobs Consultants; Macquarie Bank, Saudi Hollandi Bank, IBI Group and Aecom Technology Group; PricewaterhouseCoopers and Parsons Brinkerhoff; Gulf International Bank, Royal Bank of Scotland, Booz Allen Hamilton, Fluor Corporation and Fluor Daniel; Sumitomo Mitsui Corporation, Norton Rose, Merchant Bride and Steer Davies Gleave; UBS Warburg, National Commercial Bank and SNCF International. Updated On : November 17, 2002 The client has extended the bid deadline to December 21, 2002 for EOI from international law firms. This project is in Saudi Arabia. Scope of work involves construction of a railway line between Riyadh and Jeddah, plus another line between Dammam and Jubail. The scheme also covers expansion of the existing Riyadh to Dammam Railway. Once completed, the nation's first link between the Red Sea and Arabian Gulf will see freight speed between Jeddah and King Abdul Aziz Port in Dammam. It is seen as a vital transport link between east Asia and Europe, and will dramatically cut cargo transit times between Asia, Europe and America via Jeddah's Red Sea port. The design speed of passenger trains is expected to be 250 kilometres per hour and 140 kilometres per hour for freight trains, making the trip between Dammam and Jeddah around 12 hours for cargo.

Several studies on the project covering technical, financial and legal issues have been conducted by highly reputable organisations on behalf of the Government of Saudi Arabia. The client has invited Expressions of Interest (EOI) by November 10, 2002 from reputed world-class International Law Firms with necessary experience of providing legal advice for comparable railway transactions. The adviser will be required to conduct due diligence, suggest new decrees, rules and regulations and amend existing ones for regulating the operation of the railway in the private sector, suggest laws governing safety regulations, suggest constitution of bodies for monitoring the enforcement of rules and regulations, help in the preparation of tender documents, draft legal documents and assist in negotiations with the selected investors. It is required that the International Law Firm engages or have an on-going association with a reputed and qualified local Saudi Law Firm to perform jointly the required services. Detailed Terms of Reference will be supplied to the shortlisted advisers that would be invited to submit financial proposals.
