MY TELNO INTRA 88: HONG KONG AIRPORT PROJECT: LANTAU, FIXED CROSSING: MANAGEMENT CONTRACT
1. IN ADDITION TO THE MAIN BRIDGE CONTRACT, A QUITE SEPARATE MANAGEMENT CONTRACT FOR THE BRIDGE PROJECT IS LIKELY TO BE AWARDED IN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS. CONTENDERS ARE JOHN LAING, HALCROW (BOTH OF THE UK), AND BROWN AND ROOT (USA) AND LEVELIN (CANADA). THE VALUE IS APPROXIMATELY GBP10 MILLION OVER FIVE YEARS AND WOULD INVOLVE THE PLACING OF A TEAM OF ABOUT TEN PEOPLE HERE FOR THAT PERIOD. JOHN LAING HAVE BEEN KEEPING CLOSELY IN TOUCH WITH US OVER THIS AND WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO HELP THEM. WE HAVE HAD LITTLE CONTACT FROM HALCROW.
