Centralny Port Komunikacyjny, the company responsible for the Port Polska strategic project, has invited 20 companies and consortiums to submit bids for the contract engineer role in the design and construction of the first stage of a railway junction in the area of the future airport. Bids are open until March 9. The contractor will be selected based on price criteria.
The first stage of the junction is part of the high-speed “Y” line – Line 85 (LK85), which will connect Warsaw, the new airport, and Łódź. The project also includes a connection with Line 3 on the Warsaw-Poznań route and a northern access to the planned CMK Północ line. The procurement is being conducted under a framework agreement for contract engineer services for related railway projects, signed in July 2022 with 20 participants. This is the fifth procedure under this agreement.
The successful bidder will oversee and manage the contract under the design-and-build model, including overseeing the development of the first package’s construction design, inspecting and accepting the work, handling financial settlements, and obtaining the necessary administrative decisions and permits. The CPK railway junction is divided into three packages and will be built in stages. According to the schedule, the Warsaw-Łódź HSR section is scheduled to be operational by the end of 2032, concurrent with the opening of the airport, and the Poznań and Wrocław lines are scheduled to be operational by the end of 2035.
