Origin
Summary
In 2012, Toronto City Council authorized the City to enter into a Master Agreement for the implementation of a Provincially-funded Toronto light rail transit program, which agreement the City signed with the TTC and Metrolinx (the "Master Agreement").
This report seeks authorities that will permit the City to coordinate its own infrastructure projects with the first phase of Metrolinx's Toronto light rail transit program (the "Transit Program") to avoid multiple construction disruptions in the same location and to capitalize on any cost savings that may be available.
Toronto Water and Transportation Services have identified a preliminary list of capital projects that Metrolinx could construct for the City in the course of construction of the Transit Program. The estimated cost of this list of capital projects is included in the confidential attachments to this Report (the “Confidential Information”). The City may identify other opportunities to coordinate City infrastructure projects with Metrolinx as the latter provides the City with more information pertaining to the scope and schedule of the Transit Program, including City infrastructure that will be impacted by transit construction.
Metrolinx is utilizing the services of several contractors, including one that will design, build, finance, and maintain the Transit Program in accordance with a concession agreement that follows the Provincial alternative financing and procurement ("AFP") model. A request for proposals ("RFP") will be issued by Metrolinx this Fall to select a contractor (the "AFP Contractor"). Accordingly, the City must move quickly to incorporate its requirements for additional infrastructure in the RFP.
This report also outlines the process that City divisions will subsequently follow through consideration of annual capital budgets, to seek funding for City infrastructure projects which the City wishes to have Metrolinx undertake as part of the coordination of capital projects.
