1 O-Train Confederation Line Stage 1 Presented to: Regional Public Works Commissioners of Ontario June 23, 2017 by Steve Cripps, Director, O-Train Construction

2 The Need Ottawa s population is projected to grow 30% by 2031 Public transportation is already at capacity in the downtown core; highways near capacity Every new bus added in the downtown slows our existing buses Ottawa s prosperity depends on moving people more efficiently 2

3 Introduction Confederation Line is the largest infrastructure project in City s history since the Rideau Canal in 1800s $2.1B P3 Design-Build-Finance-Maintain project awarded to Rideau Transit Group (RTG) in February km, 13-station line extends from Blair to Tunney s Pasture 2.5-km tunnel, 3 underground stations in the downtown core, each with 2 integrated entrances New Maintenance and Storage Facility (MSF) at Belfast Yard; Conversion of a successful BRT to LRT 3

4 Confederation Line Alignment 4

5 Rideau Canal a UNESCO World Heritage Site Major sewers on either side of the Canal Ottawa road network very narrow for tunnelling / station construction Station entrances in street ROW limits pedestrian capacity Design Challenges 5

6 Design Challenges For passenger convenience/cost reasons, a shallow tunnel is desired Full accessibility, integrated art, address Federal capital interests, cycling/pedestrian connections Vehicle/systems design must address long term capacity needs: - 18,000 pphpd by 2031; Ultimate ridership 24,000 pphpd 75% of property in public ownership *pphpd = passengers per hour per direction 6

7 Procurement Model Design, Build, Finance, Maintain project DESIGN FINANCE BUILD MAINTAIN 5 years of construction with fixed price and delivery date 30-year maintenance contract; strong motivation for quality maintenance of the system over the long term 7

8 Design-Build- Finance-Maintain Team 8

9 Project Bundling Highway 417 MTO Project into OLRT Procurement Allowed proponent to manage OLRT / 417 construction as a package 100% designed by MTO Budget transfer of capital dollars to City based on master agreement 9

10 Cash Allowance Projects Coventry Pedestrian Bridge Queen Street Streetscaping Combined Sewer Storage Tunnel Albert/Scott Street renewal 10

11 Environmental Benefits During peak construction, an average of more than 250,000 tonnes of construction materials are diverted from landfills each month LRVs will use regenerative braking which will provide electric power for use by other trains Replacing buses with LRVs will result in the reduction of: GHG by approximately 94,000 tonnes per year Diesel Fuel 10 Million litres per year Road Salt 5,600 tonnes per year 11

12 Economic Benefits To date over $600 M in contracts have been awarded to local suppliers 5-Year construction will see an estimated 3,200 person years of employment 100 people have been hired to assemble vehicles at the Belfast Yard facility An additional 700 person years of employment is expected to be generated for highly skilled technical staff

23 Stage 2 LRT Project

24 Stage 2 Light Rail Transit Of new rail New stations % of Ottawa s population within 5 km of O-Train system

25 Current Status March 8, 2017 Council unanimously approved the Stage 2 LRT Implementation Report Staff received direction to proceed with the following key elements: Expanding Stage 2 LRT Procuring Stage 2 LRT Implementing Stage 2 LRT March 2017 City initiates procurement processes for Confederation Line and Trillium Line extensions (release RFQs) June 16, 2017 Federal Government pledged $1.09B Province of Ontario has promised to invest $1B towards Stage 2 LRT, plus 50 per cent of the cost associated with extending the O-Train system to the airport and from Place d Orléans to Trim

26 Bundled Projects More than 20 bundled City projects within scope of Confederation Line RFP, as well as Highway 417 Expansion Project (Maitland to 416) Benefits of bundling: coordination of work; economies of scale/cost compression; fixed price; risk transfer; and schedule alignment certainty.

27 Procuring the Stage 2 LRT Project

28 Procurement Approach 1 RTG MOU Scope Negotiated Cost 38 Stage 2 LRT Vehicles Belfast Yard MSF Expansion Communications Equipment Construction Oversight Procurement Support Services Maintenance, mobilization and latent defect risk Remaining works, two separate tenders: $492M Estimated Value 2 Confederation Line East and West Extensions $2.488B 3 Trillium Line Extension $535M

29 Procurement Benefits $8.9 million vs. $10 million Civil maintenance for 30% less per kilometre Vehicle maintenance for 7% less per kilometre
