Rueil-Malmaison, 9 September 2016
On August 12th 2016, Colombia's National Infrastructure Agency (ANI) awarded theproject3rd LaneBogota-Girardot: a public-private partnership (PPP) contract with a term of30 years for the addition of 65km of 3rd lane and the operation of141 km of the highway between Bogotá andGirardot, in Cundinamarca and Tolima Departments in Colombia.
Following the announcement, talks occurred between the awardee consortium, VINCI's subsidiary VINCI Highways. After obtaining the approval of the ANI the final consortium will be formed by VINCIHighways (50%),ConstructoraConconcreto (25%) and Industrial Conconcreto (25%).
The total amount of the contract is estimated at€1.3 billion (COP 4.2billion). TheBogotá-Girardot3rd lane Toll Road is one of Colombia'busiest, with 15.3 million vehicles in 2015. The road itself exists for more than 50 years and is operated as a concession since 2005.More than 37% of its revenues come from heavy traffic (it connects Bogotá with the main artery for Pacific ports).
The project involves the design, financing, construction, operation and maintenance of the141 km ofhighway, including the addition of 65km of third lanes and the constructionof 2km of 4 bidirectional tunnels. The project as of today includes 2 major intersections, a 4.2 km tunnel, 17 bridges, 34 pedestrian bridges, 4 viaducts and 2 operational centers. The project is a self-sustained PPP based on toll revenues (it has already 2 toll stations installed since 2005).
The constructionworks are estimated to last5 years and will be carried out by a joint-venture consisting of VINCIConstruction Grands Projets / VINCI Construction Terrassement(50%) and Conconcreto (50%). The whole infrastructure will be operated and maintained by the concessionaire.
In July 2010, VINCI has announced a strategic partnership with Constructora Conconcreto, a leading Colombian construction and real estate development company. The partnership involves VINCI's acquisition of a 20% stake in Constructora Conconcreto via a reserved capital increase.
VINCI's ambition is to put down long-term roots in Colombia, one of the most dynamic countries in South America. For about a decade, the country has regularly recorded annual GDP growth in excess of 4%. The construction sector is particularly promising, with volume expected to increase by 5% annually in coming years.
This new operation follows the recent acquisition of the LAMSAC highway concession company in Peru and is a further demonstration of VINCI's dynamic expansion in Latin America.
