The Singapore Changi Airport People Mover System (PMS) has been discussed at the previous two ASCE APM conferences. Those papers focused on the planning and general design and purpose of the system. This paper updates the previous ones and provides a discussion of several topics important to the procurement and design of the system. A summary description of the existing and new systems will be given early in the paper, along with alignment drawings and photos. The PMS system equipment is being procured using a design-build-operate-maintain approach. The facilities (guideway, stations, and maintenance facilities) are being designed to meet the selected system requirements while being integrated into the overall design of the airport and Terminals 1, 2, and 3. For the System, a request for proposals, contract documents, and performance specifications were developed and published. Three supplier teams responded: ADtranz (now Bombardier)/Keppel, Mitsubishi, and Niigata/SMRT. Tender offers were received and evaluated. Additional value engineering was then undertaken and a second round of tenders was implemented. Proposals came in significantly lower and were again evaluated. Mitsubishi was selected. They have started work, and the facility design work is underway based on this technology. Details of the process will be provided in the paper.
