TORONTO – Infrastructure Ontario and Metrolinx have issued a request for qualifications for the stations, rail and systems package for the Yonge North Subway Extension.
The extension will extend the TTC’s Line 1 subway service approximately eight kilometres from the existing terminus at Finch Station into Richmond Hill.
The RFQ outlines the scope of work to include the design, construction, supply, integration and commissioning of the following key elements:
- Five new subway stations and associated bus facilities.
- Emergency exit buildings, traction power substations and tunnel cross passages.
- All rail and signalling systems.
- A train storage facility to support Line 1 operations.
- Connections at Finch Station, including modifications to the existing tail track.
- Integration with existing TTC Line 1 infrastructure and work underway through the advance tunnelling contract work, and the transit-oriented communities program.
- Provisions to enable the transit-oriented communities work.
The RFQ is the first step in the procurement process to select a team to deliver the project.
