Description:
The International Finance Corporation (“IFC”), a member of the World Bank, has been approached by the Government of Cundinamarca (“GoC”) through the Mobility Secretariat (“SMC”) and the Empresa Férrea Regional (“EFR”) (jointly the “Client”), to act as transaction lead advisors to of the Zipaquirá Train by structuring and implementing one brownfield rail project under a Public-Private Partnership (“PPP”) arrangement (the “Project”). The objective of the project is to support the Client and act as lead transaction advisor to prepare, promote and tender a transaction that will pursue the construction and operation and maintenance of a regional mass transport rail connection between Bogota and the northern surrounding cities (Chia, Cajica and Zipaquira). Furthermore, IFC would integrate environmental and social (E&S) considerations for both decarbonization and resilience, gender, and accessibility elements into the new concession structure. Tren de Zipaquirá would utilize the existing route of the Bogotá-Belencito railway corridor from the current kilometer point 05+000 to La Caro, where it diverges to occupy the La Caro-Zipaquirá railway corridor to the current kilometer point 54+400.The preliminary studies propose light metro-type trains with total expected CAPEX of US$2.5 billion, to service approximately 153k passengers per day. The concessionaire would be responsible for the design, financing, construction, operation, and maintenance of 48.9 kilometers of railway infrastructure. From the total km of the corridor, 25.3 kms will pass through urban areas and the remaining 23.7 kms through suburban/rural areas. The most suitable construction method, as preliminarily determined by the feasibility studies, is the development of two railway tracks (one in each direction) with 24 stations (10 underground, 13 at ground level, and 1 elevated).
