Infrastructure Ontario (IO) and Metrolinx have issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for interested parties to design, build, finance, operate and maintain the Hurontario Light Rail Transit project.
The works include the construction of 22 stops, 20 km of a line that will link Port Credit GO Station in Mississauga to the Gateway Terminal at Steeles Avenue in Brampton, a maintenance and storage facility and the acquisition of LRVs and operations of the system.
The RFQ is the first step in the procurement process to select a team to deliver the project. IO and Metrolinx will evaluate submissions to prequalify project teams with the relevant experience and financial capacity to deliver a project of this size and complexity. Qualified teams will be invited to respond to a request for proposals in spring 2017.
The Hurontario LRT project is being procured as a Design, Build, Finance, Operate, Maintain (DBFOM) contract using IO’s Alternative Financing and Procurement (AFP) delivery model. AFP transfers the appropriate risks associated with design, construction, financing, operation and maintenance of the project to the private sector.
Hurontario will be the first LRT delivered by Metrolinx and IO as a DBFOM contract.
