Short List of Teams Chosen to Build Interchanges
The City is pleased to announce that based on results of the Request for Qualifications (RFQ), three teams have been chosen to move on to the Request for Proposals (RFP) stage for the Saskatoon Interchange Project for Boychuk Drive & Highway 16 and McOrmond Drive & College Drive.
Eight applicant teams responded to the RFQ. Following a comprehensive evaluation of the submissions, the teams that will participate in the RFP process, listed alphabetically, are:
- Flatiron Constructors Canada Ltd. (Flatiron Constructors Canada Ltd., WSP, Amec Foster Wheeler)
- Graham Infrastructure LP (Graham Infrastructure LP, ASL Paving Ltd., Tetra Tech EBA Ltd., ISL Engineering and Land Services Ltd., Clifton Associates Ltd.)
- PCL Construction Management Inc. (PCL Construction Management Inc., Cima+ Canada Inc., Trek Geotechnical Inc., Pinchin West Limited, Catterall & Wright)
The City's project team is currently working with its advisors to finalize the RFP document which will be released to the short-listed firms in June 2016.
The Saskatoon Interchange Project has bundled these two interchanges together as a way of reducing overall costs of construction. The McOrmond Drive/College Drive interchange is fully funded by adjacent land developers. The Boychuk Drive/Highway 16 interchange is funded by both federal and provincial governments (14.7 million each) with an additional $15.7 million coming from levies collected by The City of Saskatoon from developers of the Rosewood subdivision.
