Confederation Line
Stage 2
MONTREAL, June 27, 2017 /CNW Telbec/ - SNC-Lavalin (TSX:
SNC) is pleased to announce that the City
of Ottawa has exercised the option, under the current
contract, to utilize equipment continuity, knowledge and cost
efficiencies, and has signed a fixed-price variation agreement
worth $349 million with
Rideau Transit Group Partnership ("RTG") for the rolling stock
and onboard equipment for Stage 2 of the Confederation Line. This
contract is part of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) ratified
by RTG with the City of Ottawa on
March 24th, 2017 for a
portion of Stage 2 of the Confederation Line for
$492 million.
The RTG is a consortium composed of SNC-Lavalin,
ACS Infrastructure Canada Inc. and EllisDon. The consortium is
currently delivering Stage 1 of the Confederation Line in
Ottawa and will extend its
existing contractual arrangement for Stage 2.
"We are proud that the City of
Ottawa has extended our scope to ensure the growth of the
project and has entrusted us to maintain the Confederation Line's
core assets until 2048", said Chantal
Sorel, Managing Director, Capital, SNC-Lavalin.
Signed contracts for the project components and services that
will be delivered by SNC-Lavalin and its partners include:
- delivery of 38 additional light rail vehicles assembled at
Belfast Yard Maintenance, Administration and Storage Facility
- assistance to the City during their procurement process
The remaining scope of work elements to be finalized
includes:
- expansion of Belfast Yard Maintenance, Administration and
Storage Facility (MSF)
- maintenance of the additional vehicles and facilities
throughout their lifecycle
- civil maintenance on the Confederation Line extensions
- supply of specialized communications equipment and
- interface and design management for maintainability
"Our extensive experience and knowledge on Light Rail Transit
projects as well as our success on Confederation Line Stage 1 is a
testament to our ability to bring smart, strategic procurement and
technical solutions that create economies of scale for our
clients", said Ian Edwards,
President, Infrastructure, SNC-Lavalin.
The Confederation Line is a sustainable and affordable rapid
transit solution that will get passengers to their destination more
quickly, and significantly relieve pressure on Ottawa's existing public transit system,
including its bus infrastructure. The Stage 2 work began in May
with the provision of procurement support services and preparatory
works at Belfast Yard MSF. That expansion is slated for completion
at the end of 2018.
