CDPQ Infra has launched two requests for expressions of interest (DEI) for progressive design-build (PDB) services for the 19-kilometre TramCité Project in Québec City.
The DEIs will qualify up to three companies or groups of companies that wish to provide CDPQ Infra and its subsidiaries PDB services for:
- civil engineering infrastructure and buildings required in connection with the project, and
- the supply, integration, commissioning and maintenance of the systems required for the project.
Both DEIs close on April 14, 2025.
The TramCité Project is a significant infrastructure initiative valued at C$7.6 billion, jointly undertaken by CDPQ Infra, the Government of Quebec and the City of Québec. The project, which will integrate itself in the city's transportation network, will provide a modern, 100 percent electric tramway for the population of Québec City. The project is scheduled to begin in 2027 and is expected to be completed by 2033.
