Infrastructure Ontario (IO) and Metrolinx have identified Strabag and West End Connectors as the First Negotiations Proponents (FNPs) to design, build and finance the tunnels for the Scarborough Subway Extension and the Eglinton Crosstown West Extension projects.

Identification of the FNP is the first step in the negotiations process. IO and Metrolinx will work with each team to finalize the details of their RFP submissions to ensure that each team has a proposal that provides the best value for the province.

Upon successful conclusion of this process, each team would then proceed towards Financial Close of a contract this Spring.

IO and Metrolinx’s approach is designed to speed up construction of the tunnels. At this time, during negotiations with IO and Metrolinx, each team is permitted to undertake certain design and early works for the projects, with potential for early on-site construction mobilization at the Scarborough site. Tunnel boring is expected to begin next year.

  • FinancialAdvisor: ACS Infrastructure Canada, Aecon Concessions, Scotiabank Capital, Ghella Investments & Partnerships

Of the shortlisted teams invited to submit bids, the FNPs were the highest ranked after the proposals were evaluated. The teams were evaluated based on criteria identified in the Request for Proposals process that began in August 2020. Criteria included design and construction methodology, approach to managing the project and the collaborative behaviours of key individuals of the Proponent teams.

The identification of Strabag and West End Connectors as FNPs is the result of an open, fair and competitive procurement process overseen by third-party fairness monitors.
