A request for qualifications (RFQ) has been issued for the stations, rail and systems contract, which covers detailed design and construction of the extension’s five new stations, and installing tracks, signals, and support systems.
The package of work also includes construction of emergency exit buildings and a train storage facility, utility relocation work, and modifications at Finch Station to connect the extension to the existing TTC Line 1 subway service.
Interested companies can respond to the RFQ by submitting their qualifications and expertise in design and construction. Metrolinx and Infrastructure Ontario will review those submissions and create a shortlist of qualified companies that will be invited to submit full bids through a request for proposals.
The RFQ is posted on MERX as part of Infrastructure Ontario’s standard procurement process.
Starting the search for partners to deliver the Yonge North Subway Extension’s stations, rail, and systems contract is another important step toward making travel faster and easier for more people in York Region and Toronto. This much-needed project will also stimulate the economy and create local employment, supporting as many as 4,300 jobs during each year of construction.
First look at new stations
New conceptual designs have been shared, showing what the five new stations could look like. The renderings serve as a starting point for the future project partners, who will refine the designs as they follow Metrolinx guidelines and standards.
