Bow Transit Connectors and City Link Partners were chosen to move on to the request for proposal process, where they will compete to become development partners of the project.
Phase one will build the 18-kilometre stretch of the Green Line, which the city said is the most technically complex section of the new LRT line. This section will support future expansion to the north and south.This comes after “extensive competition” from various companies that bid to help develop the project as part of the city’s request for qualifications process.
The city said submissions were evaluated for technical capabilities, approach, experience and financial capability by an external fairness monitor. “Green Line is confidently moving forward with Bow Transit Connectors and City Link Partners, two very strong proponent teams,” Green Line board chair Don Fairbairn said in a statement.
“With extensive competition due to record investment in global transit, to have attracted their collective expertise is a great endorsement of the project.”
Better never than late.
