(Central News Agency reporter Yu Hsiao-han, Taipei, April 30) Regarding the Taipei Main Station shopping mall tender dispute, the unsuccessful Breeze Group has accused Taiwan Railways Administration (TRA) evaluation committee members of conflicts of interest and information leaks, demanding the exclusion of scores from relevant committee members. TRA Chairman Cheng Kuang-yuan said today that an investigation into why the information was leaked is underway, and results will be available in as little as two weeks.
Taipei Main Station is located at a core transportation hub, with over 600,000 people passing through daily. The TRA Taipei Main Station shopping mall is currently operated by Breeze, and its contract is set to expire on July 24 this year. The mall is considered a "golden goose." TRA conducted a tender in mid-January this year, and recently announced that Shin Kong Mitsukoshi won the bid. However, Breeze Group is dissatisfied, believing there were disputes in the evaluation process, and plans to file an administrative lawsuit.
TRA Chairman Cheng Kuang-yuan pointed out today during an interpellation at the Legislative Yuan's Transportation Committee that Breeze Group's accusation of information leaks by evaluation committee members in the Taipei Main Station tender case is under investigation by the government ethics unit. All internal and external committee members, review committee members, and consulting companies involved will be investigated one by one, and results will be available in as little as two weeks.
Regarding the dispute over the operating rights of the Taipei Main Station shopping mall, Kuomintang Legislator Hung Meng-kai asked whether TRA would still sign a contract with Shin Kong Mitsukoshi in May as scheduled, given that Breeze Group plans to file an administrative lawsuit.
Cheng Kuang-yuan responded that the tender results have been announced. According to the Act for Promotion of Private Participation in Infrastructure Projects (PPP Act), if a vendor has objections, they can raise them within 30 days. TRA will respond within 20 days after receiving them. Currently, TRA will proceed with contract negotiations with the first-priority bidder, Shin Kong Mitsukoshi, according to procedures and schedule. (Editor: Chen Ching-fang) 1150430
