Infrastructure Planning Assignment Help

TASK Why are we using integrated station developments to capture value and reduce our funding commitments rather than introduce a Special Infrastructure Contribution as proposed for Parramatta Light Rail? (Hint: Consider the pros and cons of each mechanism and form a reasoned opinion) One of the critical issues to be finalized in the business case will be the location of stations. Can you identify three factors that need to be considered in reaching the decision? (Hint: What impact does station location have on the community from a broader economic perspective?) We have proposed an initial delivery strategy that suggests that the Lineworks, Rolling Stock, Rail Systems, Depot package be selected for Design, Build, Maintain. Why would we select this contract model rather than opt for a PPP? (Hint: Consider the pros and cons of the two models and explain which is the best fit given the specific nature of the LRRD works.) We split the work on Sydney Metro North West into three packages covering tunnels, civils and OTS (operations, trains and systems). Why is the initial delivery strategy different and how will we structure the contractual role of the operator to drive value? (Hint: Consider the feedback from the previous market engagement and how TfNSW is trying to respond.)
