Ontario issues RFQ for Scarborough subway extension

The Ontario government last week released the request for qualifications (RFQ) for the design and delivery of the new Scarborough subway stations, rail and systems work.

Following the close of the RFQ, Infrastructure Ontario and Metrolinx will evaluate the submissions and announce a shortlist of qualified proponents in early 2022. The shortlisted proponents will be invited to submit detailed proposals on the design and delivery of this package of work as part of the request for proposals process, according to a news release. 

In May, the Canadian government announced its commitment to fund up to 40% of eligible costs for Ontario’s four priority subway projects in the greater Toronto area, including the Ontario Line, the three-stop Scarborough Subway Extension, the Yonge North Subway Extension and the Eglinton Crosstown West Extension.

The three stop Scarborough Subway Extension is one of four priority subway projects in the greater Toronto area  being delivered as part of the largest subway expansion in Canadian history. It will extend the Toronto Transit Commission’s (TTC) Bloor-Danforth Line 2 about 5 miles, from Kennedy Station to a new terminus at Sheppard Avenue and McCowan Road.
