Infrastructure Ontario and Metrolinx have announced that they have selected Trillium Rail Partners to deliver the Stations, Rail and Systems (SRS) package for the Eglinton Crosstown West Extension.

The team has already signed a development and master construction agreement with Metrolinx.

The Trillium Rail Partners team includes applicant leads and constructors Amico Major Projects Inc., Alberici Constructors, Ltd., and Acciona Infrastructure Canada Inc.; and designers WSP Canada Inc.

The Development and Master Construction Agreement (DMCA) marks the start of the development phase, part of a progressive design-build procurement model. The agreement 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.

The scope of 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 overall Eglinton Crosstown West Extension project is being delivered through various public-private-partnership, progressive design-build and traditional procurement contracts.
