LION ROCK ROPEWAY ******
FRIDAY, APRIL 25, 1975
THE GOVERNMENT RECEIVED ONLY ONE TENDER FOR THE FRANCHISE TO OPERATE AN AERIAL ROPEWAY UP LION ROCK. HOWEVER, THIS TENDER FAILED IN ONE IMPORTANT ASPECT TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS SPECIFIED IN THE TENDER DOCUMENTS.
A GOVERNMENT SPOKESMAN SAID TODAY THAT THE TENDER WAS THEREFORE CONSIDERED INVALID AND THE TENDERER HAS BEEN INFORMED THAT IT CANNOT BE ACCEPTED.
HE RECALLED THAT TENDERS WERE AGAIN CALLED FOR THE PROJECT IN JANUARY THIS YEAR AFTER THREE TENDERS SUBMITTED IN AN EARLIER EXERCISE FAILED TO COMPLY, IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, WITH THE TENDER REQUIREMENTS.
THE SPOKESMAN EMPHASISED THAT THE PROJECT MAY WELL BECOME ATTRACTIVE AT A LATER DATE AND THE WORK DONE ON PREPARING REVISED TENDER DOCUMENTS WILL ENABLE THE SCHEME TO BE PUT OUT TO TENDER AT SHORT NOTICE SHOULD THERE BE INDICATIONS OF A DEMAND.
THE SITE FOR THE PROPOSED AERIAL ROPEWAY IS FROM SHATIN PASS ROAD TO A PEAK TO THE EAST OF LION ROCK.
