ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
(05-03-2017, 10:57 AM)Viewfromthe42 Wrote: ...how do you open bidding without publicly announcing whether your consultations yielded requirements that the buildings on site be:
A) Up to 30 storeys
B) 10-15 storeys
C) 4-6 storeys
As these were the options (roughly) that I recall from a consultation on the site plan.

The height of the buildings is not the hard part.  The hard part is a unified transit centre.

But more to the point, much like a high-end jewelry store, if you have to ask, then you can't afford it.  You need to prove that you are capable of building a unified transit hub with 30 storey buildings on top. The actual size of the hub will be based on market factors, and they want a partner that can handle anything.

Here's the RFQ:
