It is inviting requests for qualifications for the Gordie Howe International Bridge, which will link Windsor in Canada and Detroit in the USA.

Two introductory project meetings – one in Windsor and one in Detroit – will be held for interested respondents in early August. Both meetings will be followed by an industry day to provide an opportunity for potential respondents to meet and network with local, regional and national contractors, suppliers and service providers.

Respondents to the request for qualifications will be evaluated on their experience and qualifications to deliver and finance large and complex infrastructure projects. The request for proposals stage is due to begin late this year and the overall procurement process is expected to take up to 18 months.
