RFQ issued for major Eglinton Crosstown LRT contract

The 9.2-kilometre Eglinton Crosstown West Extension is being delivered in four separate procurement contracts.

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;
  • roadway modifications and utility works; and
  • coordination with project companies on handover items from the advance tunnelling and elevated guideway contracts.

The RFQ is the first step in the procurement process to select a team to deliver the ECWE SRS package. IO and Metrolinx will evaluate submissions to prequalify teams with the relevant experience and financial capacity to deliver a project of this size and complexity. Interested companies must register with www.merx.com to download the RFQ.
