Description

Subway Program – Overview

The Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (“GTHA”) is experiencing unprecedented growth necessitating an expansion of its transportation network. Increasing the transit network’s capacity into downtown Toronto, other major employment areas, and neighborhoods throughout the City is critical to unlocking the GTHA’s potential as a leading international metropolitan region and maintaining the GTHA’s appeal to people and major employers.
The Province of Ontario’s New Subway Transit Plan for the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area contemplates $28.5 billion in new subway construction in the Toronto area along four priority subway projects, which include:

Ontario Line
Scarborough Subway Extension
Yonge North Subway Extension
Eglinton Crosstown West Extension

As part of the plan to deliver these priority subway projects, the Sponsors will also be contracting with private developers to implement the Transit Oriented Communities (“TOC”) development program on transit lands and integrate the priority projects with this program. The focus of the TOC development program is to help build communities that are centered around transit stations in order to increase transit ridership and reduce traffic congestion; increase housing supply and jobs; and incentivize the creation of complete communities based on good planning principles.
This RFQ is related to the Eglinton Crosstown West Extension (“ECWE”) project only.

ECWE Project – Overview

The ECWE Project extends 9.2 km along Eglinton Avenue West up to the Mississauga Transitway at Renforth Drive. It extends west from the ECLRT to Renforth Drive with an option to connect to Pearson International Airport in the future. This expansion provides a more sustainable and seamless transit connection for travellers along the entire corridor by bridging the network gap to meet the Frequent Rapid Transit Network[1] objectives.
The ECWE project scope has been divided into a number of contract packages as follows:

Advanced Tunnel Contract 1 – under construction;
Advanced Tunnel Contract 2 – under construction;
Elevated Guideway Contract – under construction;
Stations, Railways & Systems Contract – the subject of this RFQ;
ECWE Maintenance – to be procured at a future date; and
ECWE Fleet – to be procured at a future date.

The SRS contract consists of seven stations, ancillary facilities (such as Traction Power Substations (“TPSS”) and Emergency Exit Buildings (“EEB”)), the Renforth portal and station approach structure, modifications to Mount Dennis Station (to facilitate the connection to the extension), fit-out of the tunnels and guideway, civil infrastructure, and related railway systems along Eglinton Avenue West from Mt. Dennis Station up to the terminus station west of Renforth Drive.
