Requests for Proposals Closed for Ontario Line

The Requests for Proposals (RFP) stage has closed for teams to submit their bids for two major works packages for the Ontario Line: Pape Tunnel and Underground Stations and the Elevated Guideway and Stations contracts.

Following a fair, open and transparent Request for Qualifications process, teams were shortlisted and invited to respond to an RFP in April 2023. A fairness monitor is overseeing the entire procurement process.

For the Pape Tunnel and Underground Stations project: Pape North Connect and Trillium Subway Partners have submitted their proposals by the deadline.

For the Elevated Guideway and Stations project: Rail Connect Partnership, Transit Expansion North and Trillium Guideway Partners have submitted their proposals by the deadline.

Proposals will be evaluated by Infrastructure Ontario and Metrolinx and the top-ranked team from each project will work collaboratively with Metrolinx during a Development Phase, expected to start in 2024. Once the Development Phase is completed, Metrolinx will have the option to sign a contract with the successful team.

The Ontario Line project is being delivered through various Public-Private-Partnership (P3), progressive design-build and traditional procurement contracts, which are all being staged accordingly for their successful delivery. This segment of the project is being delivered through four packages of work: two major works contracts as noted above and two smaller early works contracts via www.metrolinx.com.
