Description

The project consists of the renewal and electrification of the 13.46 km long single-track line between Zabreh and Sumperk. The project aims to integrate the railway line more closely into the regional network around Olomouc. The line speed is increased from 70 - 80 km/h to a maximum of 100 km/h. The loading capacity of the tracks is increased from UIC category D3 to category D4, which is common throughout much of Europe and allows for 22.5t/axle.

Objectives

The main objective of the project is to modernise and electrify a feeder line to a TEN-T railway line between Prague and Prerov via Ceska Trebova and to improve the regional rail traffic operations North-East of Olomouc.

Environmental aspects

Compliance with the EU directives relating to environmental protection was adequately addressed. The entire process of planning procedures, public enquiries and building permits has been respected. Based on a statement issued by the competent Authority, the project is not likely to have significant effects on Natura 2000 sites. Nevertheless, significant investment (6.3% of budget, approximately EUR 3.9 million) has been made for minimising or compensating negative environmental impacts.

Procurement

EU procurement directives (2004/17/EC, 2004/18/EC) have been transposed into Czech legislation by the Act No. 137/2006 Coll. The contract notices for the international open tender were published in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU). The main contract was published in the OJEU under the reference number 2008/S 44-060738 on 4.3.2008. The procurement process is accountable under the Cohesion Funds regulations and is acceptable to the Bank.
