Infrastructure Ontario and Metrolinx have selected Trillium Rail Partners to deliver the Stations, Rail and Systems (SRS) package for the Eglinton Crosstown West Extension. The team has signed a Development and Master Construction Agreement with Metrolinx.
The Trillium Rail Partners team includes:
- Applicant Leads: Amico Major Projects Inc., Alberici Constructors, Ltd., and Acciona Infrastructure Canada Inc.
- Design Team: WSP Canada Inc.
- Construction Team: Amico Major Projects Inc., Alberici Constructors Ltd., and Acciona Infrastructure Canada Inc.
The team was selected following an evaluation of proposals. The selection of Trillium Rail Partners is the result of an open, fair and competitive procurement process overseen by a third-party fairness monitor.
The Development and Master Construction Agreement (DMCA) marks the start of the development phase, part of a progressive design-build procurement model. The DMCA enables Trillium Rail Partners to begin construction of early works and for them to collaborate with Metrolinx to further develop the design scope, risk allocation and pricing of various elements as part of the development phase.
Work for the project’s SRS package includes design and construction of seven stations and installation of rail and systems for the 9.2-kilometre extension and works at the existing Mount Dennis Station to connect the ECWE with future Line 5 Eglinton LRT service.
The Eglinton Crosstown West Extension is an approximately 9.2 kilometre extension of the Eglinton Crosstown LRT, from Mount Dennis to Renforth Drive. The project is being delivered in four large contracts: the Stations, Rail and Systems, Advance Tunnel 1, Advance Tunnel 2 and Elevated Guideway.
It is being delivered through various Public-Private-Partnership (P3), progressive design-build and traditional procurement contracts.
