Large-scaled projects are needed to meet the demands of growing cities. Such projects often involve various parties to successfully carry out complex engineering works. Due to the limit of government budget, the private sector has been substantially involved in the construction and funding of public infrastructure work. The involvement of the private sector in the development of infrastructure can be classified into the following types: BOT (build-operate-transfer), BTO (build-transfer-operate), ROT (rehabilitate - operate - transfer), OT (operate-transfer) or BOO (build-own-operate). Parties include the public (government) and private entities (developers, investors, legal parties and engineering, etc). Managing and planning the contractual relationships between public and private entities, consortium formation, and risk management are keys to a successful takeoff of the project.
MAA has such experiences including the feasibility study, tender documents, tender evaluation and contract negotiation services for the 35.7 km transit system from Taipei city to CKS International Airport and the electronic toll collection system (ETC) for the whole freeway network of Taiwan. MAA also works as tender preparation consultants for BOT tenders in the Taiwan High Speed Railway project, the mass rapid transit project of Kaohsiung, and many BOT environmental projects. Services also include preliminary and conceptual design, design review, quality control and project management, operation test and management etc.
