Toronto's airport rail link to be built by consortium
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toront...rolinx359.html
A consortium of major construction companies, including Aecon Group Inc., has been selected as the preferred bidder for completing the rail link between Pearson International Airport and Toronto's downtown.
"The selection of AirLinx Transit Partners as the preferred bidder is the result of an open, fair and competitive procurement process, which was overseen by a fairness adviser, " Infrastructure Ontario said in making the announcement.
Infrastructure Ontario, a Crown corporation, manages some of the province's larger and more complex infrastructure renewal projects.
Metrolinx, the Ontario government agency that looks after public transportation in the Greater Toronto-Hamilton area, will own and operate the air rail line, or ARL, providing express rail service between two of Canada's busiest transportation hubs — Pearson Airport and Toronto Union Station.
