Teams will begin preparing proposals that detail how they will deliver these projects. Upon evaluating the proposals received, IO and Metrolinx expect to award these contracts in 2022.
A fairness monitor will oversee the entire procurement process.
The Ontario Line is being delivered as three separate public-private partnership (P3) procurement contracts:
RSSOM,
South and North packages. The RFQ for the Northern Civil, Stations and Tunnel contract, the north portion of the Ontario Line from the proposed station at Gerrard Street and Carlaw Avenue to the Ontario Science Centre, is expected to be issued in 2022. In
addition to the three main P3 contracts, there will also be a series of early works projects for bridge, track and other preparatory activities in select locations along the Ontario Line alignment, including the joint rail corridor where the Ontario Line will operate next to existing GO Transit rail services. These
contracts will be procured through a traditional procurement approach.
The Ontario Line is one of four priority transit projects
announced by the Province in 2019 for the Greater Toronto Area. Procurements for the subway program are being staged to ensure each project is delivered successfully. Planning is underway for all four projects.
