📋 Tender Overview
The Railway Administration has selected a designer for the Cernovice stage which is part of the modernization of the Brno railway hub. The contract was awarded to SAGASTA. The project will bring a new transfer terminal and an increase in capacity. The bids of four applicants were evaluated in the public competition.
Modernization in the Moravian metropolis will bring significant changes both for passengers and for railway traffic itself. Its main element will be the new Brno-Cernovice transfer terminal which will be built on the overpass above Olomoucka Street and will replace the current stop. The terminal will be intended for regional trains and will offer four platforms barrier-free access elevators and new facilities for passengers.
Cernovice will play a much more significant role in the future layout of the Brno railway than it does today. The new terminal will improve connectivity to city transport and at the same time help increase the capacity of the tracks in the eastern part of the city says Tomas Toth CEO of the Railway Administration.
Public transport stops will be created directly under the terminal which will facilitate transfers. The proposal also includes a reserve for the future tram line.
The project will also bring fundamental changes to the layout of the track. A seven-track section will lead from the new main station to Cernovice which will then be divided into two four-track branches in the direction of Zidenice and Slatina. The construction will also include a new rail link towards Chrlice.
The extensive reconstruction of the Brno junction aims to increase the capacity and reliability of rail transport and prepare the infrastructure for the further development of regional long-distance and future high-speed connections.
The designer will prepare the documentation needed to obtain the project permit and the future selection of the construction contractor. The contract will also include discussion of the project with the relevant authorities property law preparation and subsequent supervision during construction. SASASTA will develop the project for 222225000 crowns which is 80% of the highest allowable total bid price in the tender.
