Albanian Railways (Hekurudha Shqiptare sh.a. “HSH”), hereinafter referred to as “the Client”, intends using part of the proceeds of a loan from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, hereinafter referred to as “the Bank”, towards the cost of Rehabilitation of the Durres — Tirana Railway Line and construction of a New Railway Line to Tirana International Airport.
The Client intends prequalifying firms and consortia to tender for the following contract(s), hereinafter referred to as “the Contract”, to be funded from part of the proceeds of the loan:
The Tirana – Durres (single) line is at present the busiest section of the Albanian railway network, providing connection of the capital of the country with Durres, the second larger Albanian city, as well with the port of Durres, the major maritime gate of the country to Europe and the rest of the world.
Built in 1951 and rehabilitated in 1996 the Tirana – Durres line comprises the most modern superstructure of the network.
The railway runs through mainly plain terrain, with hilly regions located in the wider Vore area and in Rrashbull featuring in general comfortable geometric characteristics with large radius curves and mild profile slopes for most of its’ development (500m minimum horizontal curve radius and vertical curve radii in excess of 10 000m) which after improvements on the condition of the track and safety issues, would allow train speeds of at least 100 km/h, ideal for regional or suburban passenger rail traffic.
The new (single) line to Tirana International Airport begins at the 27th Km of the Durres — Tirana line by means of triangular at grade rail intersection and terminates within the fence of the Tirana International Airport, in close proximity with the airports' terminal, by means of a central platform terminal station.
— The rehabilitation of the Durres — Tirana Public Transport Terminal (PTT) railway line, starting at KP 0-640 at the head of existing Durres Station Platform until the end of the new Tirana PTT station at KP 32+680,
