MISSISSAUGA – Infrastructure Ontario (IO) and Metrolinx have awarded a fixed-price contract to EllisDon Infrastructure CGS RER Inc. (EllisDon) to design, build and finance the Cooksville GO Station Redevelopment project, in support of the province’s GO Regional Express Rail (RER) program.

The contract is valued at $128.4 million, which reflects the substantial completion payment.

  • Lead: EllisDon Infrastructure CGS RER Inc.
  • Construction: EllisDon Design-Build Inc.
  • Design: WalterFedy, Brodie & Associates, WSP/MMM
  • Financial Advisor: EllisDon Capital Inc.

The selection of EllisDon is the result of an open, fair and competitive procurement process overseen by a third party fairness advisor.

Construction will begin immediately, with an expected substantial completion date for summer 2020. At the peak of construction, EllisDon anticipates approximately 150 workers on-site, the majority which will come from the Greater Toronto Area.

Quick Facts:

  • The project is being delivered using IO’s Alternative Financing and Procurement model, which transfers the appropriate risks associated with design, construction and financing of the project to the private sector.
  • Work on the Milton corridor is part of a larger, system-wide plan to improve overall GO Transit service, including the delivery of Regional Express Rail (RER). RER will provide faster and more frequent service across the GO rail network, with electrified service on core segments, including the UP Express. It is one of the largest transit infrastructure investments in Canada.
  • Ontario is making the largest infrastructure investment in hospitals, schools, public transit, roads and bridges in the province’s history. To learn more about what’s happening in your community, visit Ontario.ca/BuildON.
