MAKING AN ALLIANCE
The Alliance contract is a multi-party contract, which does not allow
parties to take legal action against each other, thereby eliminating claims,
outside of highly defined occurrences of willful default. A collaborative
contract, this model utilizes a joint governance and management
structure between owners and private sector parties. The contract aligns
the interest of the parties through pain-share/gain-share provisions,
which share risk and reward among the parties of the alliance. The
Alliance model is typically associated with complex infrastructure
projects where the project scope is difficult to define fully, risks cannot
be adequately defined or measured, or the cost of transferring risk to the
contractor is too high.
Metrolinx recently signed an Alliance Development Agreement with
Rail Connect Partners (Project Management and Construction) and
Hatch (Design) to deliver Toronto9s East Harbour Transit Hub project. Rail
Connect Partners is a 50/50 joint venture between AtkinsRéalis and Bird
Construction Inc.
Under the alliance development agreement, services include
RENEWCANADA.NET
optimizing the design solution, preparing detailed estimates for resources,
costs and schedules, preparing a Project Proposal, finalizing the Project
Alliance Agreement, and performing Early Works.
As part of the SmartTrack Stations program, East Harbour Transit Hub
will be an interchange station in the Riverdale neighbourhood, immediately east of the Don Valley Parkway and south of Eastern Avenue. Located
on the Lakeshore East and Stouffville GO lines the station will provide
connections to the Ontario Line subway and future TTC transit services.
