Coordination with the Technical Director of the NTTS Project;
Report to the National Project Director of the MOC.
Development of a metro system in Kuwait is a new phenomenon. The metro system normally operates in the urban area which needs efficient transport and land use planning, and consideration of various urban features.
Expected outputs
The outputs of the assignment include, but not necessarily be limited to, the followings:
Assessment of current status in Kuwait, including proposed metro alignment, previous studies, various urban features, and project management issues;
Assessment of potential operation efficiency including waiting time, number of passengers at the stops, number of standees in the locomotives, location of metro stops, and link with the urban road network, pedestrian and parking facilities;
Development of proposals and implementation plan and gain management approval;
Development of project budget and cost plan;
Development of thorough guidelines to optimize the use of resources and facilitate uniform implementation taking into account all relevant metro system components such as integrated transport planning, transport modes, engineering and system design, safety and security, environmental noise standards, earthquake resistant, tunnels and bridges, power supply, signaling, control facilities, software, construction procedures, alignment and work zones, user demand, climate conditions, reliability, availability and maintainability, automatic fare collection, performance requirements, testing, platform stops, communications, train lighting, clock system, ventilation and air conditioning, recovery system, information system, stations, and quality assurance;
Development of sustainable program for training of local cadres, management, and assignment of new staff, including metro planning and engineering, construction supervision, operations, maintenance, safety and security;
Preparation of RFP, answering queries, and participate at the evaluation and selection;
Supervision of procurement requirements and contractor works, conduct required test and approve deliverable;
Conduct workshop and training sessions in line with the approved implementation plan and deadlines;
Produce technical papers regarding the project and international best practice to advance knowledge of staff and management;
