KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 27 — The 122-kilometre East Coast Expressway Phase 3 (LPT3) will be implemented through privatisation under a public-private partnership (PPP) arrangement via a competitive bidding process or Request for Proposal (RFP), with the successful bidder bearing the full development cost.
Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi said the proposed alignment, stretching from Kampung Gemuruh in Terengganu to Tunjong in Kelantan, would complement LPT1 and LPT2 in connecting Pahang, Terengganu and Kelantan.
He said the project’s Statement of Needs (SON) had been submitted to the Public Private Partnership Unit (UKAS) under the Prime Minister’s Department to prepare the RFP documents before they are submitted to the Cabinet for consideration and a decision.
