RFQ for USD4bn railway tunnel contract in Canada
Infrastructure Ontario and Metrolinx have launched Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for Design Build Finance of Advance Tunnel for Scarborough Subway Extension (SSE) PPP project in Toronto. The SSE has an estimated cost of approximately CAD 5.5 billion (USD 4 billion) and a target delivery date of 2029-2030.
The SSE project is a fully underground extension of Toronto’s ‘Bloor-Danforth’ subway Line 2, from the existing terminal at Kennedy Station northeast to Sheppard Avenue and McCowan Road, spanning approximately 7.8 kilometres. The SSE will include three new stations at Lawrence Avenue and McCowan Road, Scarborough Centre and Sheppard Avenue and McCowan Road. The SSE will also include modifications to Kennedy Station and supporting/ancillary works. The SSE will replace the existing Line 3 (Scarborough Rapid Transit, or “SRT”) and serve as the local rapid transit option in Scarborough.
The SSE will be delivered by way of an advance tunnel contract (the “Advance Tunnel Contract”, or the “Project”), followed by a subsequent contract to construct the stations and other facilities, fit-out the tunnel, and install and commission the systems (referred to as the “Stations, Rail and Systems”) (the “SRS Contract”). The Advance Tunnel Contract and the SRS Contract will both be delivered as P3 projects. Specifically, the delivery model for the Advance Tunnel Contract will be design-build-finance and the delivery model for the SRS Contract will be design-build-finance-maintain (with maintenance for only a portion of the scope).
Pre-bidding event will be held on March 12 as a Live Webcast Webinar.
The deadline to submit the qualifications is on April 15. You can see more details on this tender on our business opportunity page here.
