Q: With respect to the implementation of Light Rail Transit in Hamilton and the construction bid phase, will U.S.-based companies be permitted to bid on the work? Or will such firms be excluded due to the Ontario and Canadian governments’ positions regarding the U.S. tariffs imposed during the Trump administration?
The Ministry responded as follows:
Following a Request for Qualifications (RFQ), four teams have been invited to submit proposals for civil work, including utility relocations, roads, structures, grade separations, bridges, sidewalks, and traffic control signals along the 14-kilometre route.
All of the shortlisted teams for the Hamilton LRT RFP include Canadian contractors.
The four teams are:Hamilton Synergy Alliance (Applicant Lead - AtkinsRéalis Major Projects Inc.)
Steel City Alliance (Applicant Lead - Dufferin Construction Company, A Division of CRH Canada Group Inc.)
Kenaidan Murphy Joint Venture (Applicant Lead - Murphy Infrastructure Inc.)
Aecon Hamilton Transit LRT Partnership (Applicant Lead – Aecon Infrastructure Management Inc.)
Once complete, the Hamilton LRT will connect 50,000 daily commuters to an expanded Hamilton Street Railway and GO network, offering service to 17 stops, including McMaster University, City Hall, Hamilton Stadium, Eastgate Square, downtown Hamilton, and other popular locations. The LRT will put tens of thousands of jobs within walking distance of fast and reliable transit.
