Only completion risk within cost and time, which tends to be`adjusted’ on the grounds of additional work from the project owner. On the face of it, margins are fixed at about 6% of total cost. However there is a profit sharing element should project be completed within cost. And the PD is also reimbursed for additional cost incurred, which is more than the 6%. Project owner awards jobs to work package contractor­s (WPCs). WPCs have to give performanc­e warranty and performanc­e bond guarantee to Prasarana. Payment comes from Project owner; ie: Prasarana, MRTCorp to WPCs Bankers favour PDP model to extend line of credit to WPCs because payment is from a government entity.
