OHL is apparent low bid for Spadina north

OHL Canada has submitted the apparent low bid on Toronto Transit Commission’s (TTC) Highway 407 Station and Northern Tunnel’s contract, for the CA$2.63 billion Toronto-York Spadina Subway Extension (TYSSE). OHL’s $404,387,000.00 bid came out ahead of a number of other bids including: Dragados Canada/Ellis Don JV at $409,870,000.00; and Kenaiden/Obayashi/Flatiron JV at $459,721,000.00.

The Sheppard West Station and Southern Tunnels contract was officially awarded to Aecon Buildings on Thursday, 18 November. Aecon Buildings – along with its tunnel subcontracting JV of McNally, Kiewit and Aecon Constructors – won the contract with a bid of CA$279,078,688 million.

The winning teams will use four client procured Lovat EPBMs and a client procured pre-cast segmental tunnel lining (built to specifications drafted by project-wide tunnel designer Hatch Mott MacDonald) to extend the Spadina subway line northwards from the existing Downsview Station to the new Finch West station (see NATJ, Oct/Nov, p12).
