RFQ for one of the priority transit projects in Canada
Infrastructure Ontario (IO) and Metrolinx have issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for advance tunnelling work on the Eglinton Crosstown West Extension PPP project - the first phase of work for the railway project in Toronto. Eglinton Crosstown West Extension is one of four priority transit projects announced by the Province in 2019 for the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area.
The Eglinton Crosstown West Extension is a 9.2-kilometre extension of the Eglinton Crosstown LRT (future TTC Line 5). The extension will run mostly underground, westward from the future Mount Dennis station to Renforth Drive. A possible future connection to Toronto Pearson International Airport is also being studied.
To expedite work on the project, tunnelling will begin first, to be followed by separate contract for the balance of the work, which includes building the stations, fitting-out the tunnels and installing and commissioning the systems.
The RFQ issued outlines the scope of work to design, build and finance the tunnels:
- Tunnelling works for approximately 6 kilometres of the 9.2-kilometre light rail transit extension;
- Design and construction of launch and extraction shafts, tunnels, as well as headwalls for emergency exit buildings and stations;
- Supply tunnel boring machines (TBMs) and install segmental precast concrete tunnel liners;
- Activities necessary to build the tunnel (e.g. utility relocations, supports for shaft and headwalls, temporary power supply, lighting, ventilation, and drainage).
The deadline to submit the qualifications is on April 15. You can see the details on this RFQ on our business opportunity page here.
The RFQ is the first step in the procurement process to select teams to deliver the advanced tunneling work for the two projects.
IO and Metrolinx will evaluate RFQ submissions. Teams that possess the relevant experience and capacity to deliver each project will be shortlisted and invited to respond to a Request for Proposals (RFP) in summer 2020.
