The next step in Calgary’s $5.5 billion Green Line project is underway, with a planned Request for Qualifications on the project’s first phase.
The RFQ signals the city’s intention to qualify prospective bidders prior to selecting a development partner. The city said it’s a milestone step in the Calgary Transit megaproject. They had planned for the Design-Build-Finance RFQ to be released at the end of Q1, 2022.
“Following extensive consultation with the market and alignment of all funding partners, the Green Line Board has approved a collaborative procurement strategy to build Phase 1 of the Green Line LRT project,” said Don Fairbairn, Chair, Green Line Board.
“The RFQ is a significant step towards delivering this important city-shaping project.”
Phase 1 is 18 kilometres of track, from Eau Claire to Shepard. It will have 13 stations along that route. It also includes the most technically challenging aspect of the build – the downtown tunnel.
