CDPQ Infra intends to announce this fall the shortlisted bidders for the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) and Provision of the Rolling Stock and Systems and Operation and Maintenance (RSSOM) contracts for Montréal LRT project. Once the consortia have been identified, preliminary construction work can begin and the work schedule will be announced.
In September, a key milestone was achieved following the adoption of Bill 137 in the National Assembly, which confirmed several conditions related to the REM’s completion phase. This new law represents a crucial step in initiating the completion phase.
At the end of 2016, CDPQ Infra announced the qualified companies and consortiums on the project:
For the EPC contract Groupe NouvLR and Kiewit-Eurovia were selected and for the rolling stock, operation and maintenance contract, Alliance Montréal Mobilité (AMM); Bombardier Transportation Canada; Groupe des Partenaires pour la Mobilité des Montréalais (PMM) were selected.
We remind that this summer, Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec received confirmation of a CAD 1.28 billion (EUR 869 million) investment, by the Government of Canada in the Réseau électrique métropolitain (REM) project. With this commitment, the CAD 6.04 billion (EUR 4 billion) financing package for the construction of the REM has therefore been finalized.
REM will be constructed as an automated light rail transit system, involving 67 km double track with 4 branches connected to the downtown and 27 stations.
