Storage Track at Bermondsey

• At key sections along the Crosstown route additional tracks are needed to

ensure vehicle storage and the ability to turn back

• Storage tracks are required in case of unplanned equipment failure
• Required approximately every 4km
• Exact location under review

New Approach: Alternative Financing and Procurement (AFP)

Public Private Partnership models have been underway in Canada for 20 years

• 165 projects
• 21 transportation projects
• $51 billion total project value

Canada-wide examples

• Canada Line rapid transit project (Vancouver)
• Autoroute 25 (Montréal)
• Trans-Canada Highway (Atlantic Canada)

Ontario examples

• Pan Am games athletes village
• Ottawa Light Rail Transit
• Highway 407 East Phase 1
• The Rt. Hon. Herb Gray Parkway (Formerly the Windsor Essex Parkway)

46

Owner’s Role Changes with AFP

47

New Approach: Advantages of (AFP)

• Increased capacity to bring projects to market
• Transfer of risk
• Appropriate risks transferred to private sector to ensure “on time, on budget”

delivery and offer value for money

• Design, construction, cost escalation, schedule delays, operations, maintenance,

lifecycle, financial risk

• Cost certainty
• Optimal cost combination: combines capital, maintenance and life cycle costs
• Integration of design and construction

48

New Approach: Roles and Responsibilities in the Design Build Finance Maintain model

Design

• Overall scope (inclusion of maintenance,
• perations, etc.)
• Project-Specific Output Specifications

(with Consultant team)

• Real Estate Acquisition (with City of

Toronto)

Build

• Oversee Construction Phase
• Quality Assurance

Finance

• Project Budget
• With Infrastructure Ontario run a competitive

procurement process; select the winning contractor

Maintain

• Testing & Commissioning (with Toronto

Transit Commission)

• Safety Certification and Project Acceptance

TTC to operate

• Integrated with existing TTC system
