Contract negotiations nearing completion

TORONTO - Final contract negotiations are nearing completion for the Sudbury Regional Hospital construction project and the successful contractor is expected to be announced by Infrastructure Ontario shortly.  

The Ontario government is working to finalize the contract, which will provide the best deal and protect the interests of the hospital and Ontarians.  When the negotiation process is completed, the contractor will be able to mobilize its team to begin construction within one to two weeks.  

Infrastructure Ontario will work with Sudbury Regional Hospital to redevelop the hospital, which will remain publicly owned, controlled and accountable.  Infrastructure Ontario is a Crown corporation dedicated to managing some of the Province's larger and more complex infrastructure renewal projects -- ensuring they are built on time and on budget.   

This project is guided by principles outlined in the Province's Building a Better Tomorrow policy framework, which ensures public ownership of core assets such as hospitals, schools, and water and wastewater facilities.  The Sudbury Regional Hospital project is one of many infrastructure projects being upgraded and modernized under ReNew Ontario, the government's five-year, $30-billion plus public infrastructure investment plan.
