19-150 - RFQ for DBF - Advance Tunnel for Eglinton Crosstown West Extension

The Eglinton Crosstown West Extension project (“ECWE”) is a part of the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area region’s Frequent Rapid Transit Network. The proposed full extent of the corridor extends along Eglinton Avenue West from the western end of the Eglinton Crosstown LRT at Mount Dennis, then north to Toronto Pearson International Airport at Renforth Station. This corridor serves the growing bidirectional travel demand across the region’s urban growth centres and employment hubs of midtown Toronto, downtown Mississauga and the Pearson Airport Area.

The Eglinton Crosstown West Extension will be delivered by way of an advance tunnel contract (the “Advance Tunnel Contract”, or the “Project”) for the underground portion of the alignment between Scarlett Road and Renforth Drive, followed by a subsequent contract to construct the stations and other facilities, fit-out the tunnel, and install and commission the systems . The Sponsors (Infrastructure Ontario and Metrolinx) are seeking to procure a private sector group to deliver the Advance Tunnel through a Design-Build-Finance (“DBF”) delivery method pursuant to the Private Public Partnership (“P3”) model.
