Ontario announces market sounding for rail station DBF project
Infrastructure Ontario and Metrolinx have announced their intention to invite interested firms to participate in a market sounding for the Union Station Enhancement Project (USEP) in Toronto (Canada).
This market sounding is being conducted primarily to gain the market’s perspective on construction time-lines for the project. Learning from the market sounding will help shape the procurement.
The purpose of the USEP project is to upgrade Union Station in support of future electrification, accommodating Regional Express Rail service increases, to be delivered through the Alternative Finance and Procurement (AFP) – Design-Build-Finance (DBF) Model.
Union Station is the major inter-city transportation hub of the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA). The station sees over 200,000 travelers a day, the majority being commuters from all over the GTHA.
Union Station facilitates rail service from Via Rail, Amtrak, Ontario Northland, and GO Transit. With the adjoining TTC station and GO Bus Terminal, Union Station earns the title of busiest passenger transportation facility in Canada.
