Bird Construction Inc. and AtkinsR\u00e9alis have entered into an Alliance Development Agreement to work collaboratively with Metrolinx to deliver the East Harbour Transit Hub in Toronto.\u00a0Bird is partnered in a 50\/50 joint venture with AtkinsR\u00e9alis under the Rail Connect (RC) Partners joint venture.<\/p>\n

The company says the East Harbour Transit Hub, part of Toronto\u2019s SmartTrack Stations Program, is one of the first major projects in Canada to be procured using an alliance model. The alliance model, says Bird, has been used internationally to plan and deliver large, complex infrastructure programs, driving innovation and collaboration between parties, managing risk with greater transparency and cooperative decision-making.<\/p>\n

The Alliance Development Agreement is a collaborative phase where the focus is on optimizing the design solution, developing detailed resource, cost, and schedule estimates, preparing a project proposal, finalizing the Project Alliance Agreement, and performing early works.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis significant award advances our strategic priority to grow our infrastructure portfolio while maintaining our disciplined pursuit of projects with appropriate risk profiles,\u201d said Teri McKibbon, president and CEO of Bird. \u201cWe are proud to play a key role in this project where we can leverage Bird\u2019s extensive collaborative contracting experience along with our comprehensive self-perform capabilities including the specialized services of Dagmar, acquired in 2021. We look forward to working collaboratively with Metrolinx and the other alliance team members and stakeholders to promote innovation, continuous improvement, and productivity while delivering this critical infrastructure project required to meet the needs of future generations.\u201d<\/p>\n
