Infrastructure Ontario and Metrolinx have released a request for qualifications (RFQ) for the second Advance Tunnel Contract (ATC2) package on the Eglinton Crosstown West Extension between Jane Street and the future Mount Dennis Station in Toronto.
The Eglinton Crosstown West Extension is nearly 6-mile extension of the Eglinton Crosstown light-rail transit service, the future TTC Line 5. The extension will run mostly underground, westward from the future Mount Dennis station to Renforth Drive, according to an Infrastructure Ontario press release.
The province will also release an RFQ for the transit project’s elevated section of track between Scarlett Road and Jane Street in the coming weeks.
Infrastructure Ontario and Metrolinx will evaluate the submissions and announce a shortlist of qualified proponents for both contracts in spring 2022. These will be followed by a separate contract for the balance of the work, which includes building the stations, fitting-out the tunnels and installing and commissioning the systems. The Advanced Tunnel Contract 1 project, which extends from Renforth Drive to the extraction shaft at Scarlett Road, is under construction.
The RFQ is the first step in the procurement process to select teams to deliver the ATC2 work for the project. Companies interested in bidding on this contract must register with merx.com to download the respective RFQs.
