    Description

    The GO Expansion program is the largest transit infrastructure program in Canadian history. Metrolinx, the owner/operator for suburban rail, has a dramatic GO Expansion Program that will transform rail services in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA), providing two-way all-day GO train service and improved passenger experience with quieter and faster electric locomotives. The GO Expansion program includes Early Works, Off-corridor station, and infrastructure upgrades, as well as an On-Corridor program to deliver new tracks, platforms, facilities, grade separations and electrification.

    and local expertise to the direction and successful delivery of the GO Expansion program.

    A key part of this is adding exemplary Commercial Management capability to the program.

  • Initiate dialogue to create a collaborative, transparent and constructive relationship with the contractors to enable a more mutually beneficial environment with aims to challenge target cost for the contractor and drive value for money for Metrolinx.
  • Review existing processes and procedures and assess their viability to provide controls and information during the life of the target cost implementation period. This includes taking a lifecycle view of the target price process, identifying gaps, and providing ideas and documentation to ensure a robust end-to-end process.
