Jeddah Central Development Company has received contractor bids for five construction packages on Jeddah Central Projects. The competition is stiffening as bidders aim to be contracted for the five packages that are being implemented on the stadium. The project scope of the five packages entails four building projects that are deemed high profile. One of the construction projects includes the development of the sports stadium. The design of the contract was issued to GMP International last year. The engineering work on the other hand was handed out to Saudi-based company Khatib and Alami. The other packages being contracted and being bid on include the construction of an opera house as well as a museum.
The Jeddah Central Projects bids also entail the construction of the oceanarium and coral farm. The contract also entails the infrastructure works of all these projects. US-based SOM had already been appointed as the lead architects for the coral farm and oceanarium building. This is part of the Jeddah Central project as planned by the Jeddah Central Development Company. The coral farm and the oceanarium will host several features such as underwater exhibits. Dar al-Handasah, a Dubai-based company was announced to have secured the design contract of the master plan that is linked to the first phase of the projects.
