Infrastructure Ontario (IO) and Metrolinx have issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for interested parties to design build and finance the Lakeshore West Corridor infrastructure improvements project. The infrastructure upgrades are required to accommodate the planned expansion of GO Transit rail service on the Lakeshore West line.
The RFQ outlines the scope of work required, which includes: exhibition station in-corridor enabling works and track improvements; long branch station improvements and accessibility; Clarkson Station in-corridor enabling works; Kerr Street grade separation; Bronte Station in-corridor enabling works; Burloak Drive grade separation; Drury Lane pedestrian bridge replacement; Lewis Road layover facility-phase II expansion.
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 design and construction experience. Teams that qualify will be invited to respond to a request for proposals early next year.
This project is part of Metrolinx’s planned expansion of GO Transit rail service in support of GO Regional Express Rail (RER). “The sum total of this work will mean more and better GO service for people along the Lakeshore West GO line. These improvements and upgrades are the next step in our plan to increase GO service across the GTHA. We are always looking for new ways to provide a better experience for commuters, and we are doing this by investing in the transit and transportation system that they deserve,” Steven Del Duca, minister of Transport, said.
