Reason for canceling Because they were worried about the construction time frame That may not be able to proceed as planned. The MRT Orange Line service will be available around the year 68-69. The project is expected to be auctioned in a new round around June ’64. In the meantime, MRTA is speeding up drafting documents. The auction details (TOR) will then be used to listen to opinions from the relevant persons. As for the criteria for determining how it will be Depends on the MRTA committee, but in his capacity to supervise MRTA when MRTA brings a draft of TOR to report Will consider again To comply with regulations and laws Which I think should use the normal criteria for consideration

Mr. Sak Siam further said that within this week MRTA will report the resolution of the M36 Committee to notify the Supreme Administrative Court. Along with requesting to withdraw the appeal requesting the revocation of the Central Administrative Court’s order To abolish the announcement of the use of documents, criteria for considering private selection Which is a new criterion that sets the criteria for considering private proposals From 30 technical points and 70 price points, however, I must admit that the project has been delayed for more than 6-7 months by this new auction round. MRTA will shorten the construction time frame. Therefore, the bidder must have a good construction ability. To be able to open the Orange Line train service as planned in the years 68-69 because this time has lost a lot of opportunities. I don’t want it like the Red Line suburban railway system project, Bang Sue – Taling Chan section. The construction has been completed for almost 10 years, but still cannot open for service.
