Infrastructure Ontario (IO) and Metrolinx have issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for the Stations, Rail and Systems (SRS) contract for the Eglinton Crosstown West Extension (ECWE).
This package of work will be procured through a progressive design-build contract model. The scope of work includes:
- Seven new stations;
- installation, testing, and commissioning of all rail and track components and systems equipment;
