Awarded Contracts
Delivery Partner
Following RFP evaluation, the Green Line Board selected CSIX Partners, a consortium led by AtkinsRéalis Canada Inc. (formerly SNC-Lavalin).
The procurement process, which began in July 2022, was overseen by a third-party fairness monitor throughout the RFP process.
The Delivery Partner will supplement the Green Line team in support of delivering Phase 1 across a range of project functions, including commercial management, technical support, project controls, and construction management. CSIX Partners brings extensive technical and commercial expertise in complex megaprojects with an ability to scale resources based on project needs and phasing.
How was the Delivery Partner selected?
In November 2022, Green Line announced that following RFP evaluation, the Green Line Board had selected CSIX Partners as the Delivery Partner. The agreement was finalized in December, following negotiations. CSIX is a consortium led by AtkinsRéalis Canada Inc. (formerly SNC-Lavalin) and comprises of subcontractors:
- Aldea Services Inc.
- CANA Group of Companies
- Charter Project Delivery Inc.
- Mott MacDonald
- Turner & Townsend
- TMX Group Limited
Green Line works with City Supply Management to procure and award all contracts for Phase 1. As the stewards of responsible public spending, City Supply Management has a fiduciary responsibility to ensure City spending be conducted with the highest level of transparency, openness, and fairness.
As such, all procurement of goods and services by The City is subject to the following trade agreements: the New West Partnership Trade Agreement; Canadian Free Trade Agreement and the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement.
The Delivery Partner RFP process began in July 2022 and was overseen by a third-party fairness monitor. The process also included the receipt of signed declarations with each team’s submission regarding their compliance with conflict-of-interest requirements (as described in the procurement documents) and all applicable law.
There were no findings that would disqualify any member of CSIX Partners from being named Green Line’s Delivery Partner.
As our Delivery Partner, CSIX will supplement the Green Line team in support of delivering Phase 1 across a range of project functions, including commercial management, technical support, project controls, and construction management. CSIX Partners bring extensive technical and commercial expertise in complex megaprojects with an ability to scale resources based on project needs and phasing.
LRV Procurement
The Green Line LRT will run low floor light rail vehicles (LRVs) as they offer a sleek modern design and enhanced benefits including improved accessibility, increased capacity per train, enhanced safety and a smaller footprint for station structure than the existing high floor system used on the Red and Blue Lines. The City will procure an LRV supplier to design, test, supply, deliver and commission 28 low floor LRVs and provide support services to keep the LRVs operational for the Green Line LRT.
Status:
In November 2021, following a robust competitive procurement process, CAF (Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles) was awarded the contract to supply Green Line’s new fleet of low floor LRVs. The procurement process, which began in February 2019, was overseen by a third-party fairness monitor throughout the RFQ and RFP process.
CAF’s proposal met all of the City’s technical and commercial requirements. The Urbos 100 LRVs offer modern low-floor technology adding excellent value for Calgarians. This new fleet will provide Calgary with a world-class transit option.
