Advanced MERX notice of Prequalification for the Construction of the Kitchener Central Transit Hub
Metrolinx, an agency of the Government of Ontario, oversees the delivery of the best possible transportation services today while leading the way to even better, more convenient services tomorrow. Metrolinx is making the best possible use of the public transportation investment dollar and measurably improving the quality of life in our region.
To achieve the capacity, agility and scale required to handle the increased demand Metrolinx is looking to engage Contractors to execute and manage construction services pertaining to Metrolinx’s scope of the Kitchener Central Transit Hub project, a new GO Station in downtown Kitchener. The new facility will be located between King Street West and Duke Street and the scope includes upgrades to existing tracks, the construction of two new barrier free side platforms, two pedestrian tunnels with entrance lobbies, elevators and stairs, a retaining wall along the south side of the rail corridor, a service building and a grade separation at Duke Street West with a rail-carrying bridge and new multi-use pathway. The work also includes the construction of a new rail crossover and signals west of the GO Transit’s Shirley Street Layover facility. Works will occur on the Metrolinx-owned Guelph Subdivision.
