CFQC Sections 3 and 4 between Vallee-Jonction and Thetford Mines (including the crossing of the Riviere Chaudiere) are not in operation and require complete reconstruction of the structures, track, level crossings and culverts, over a total length of approximately 58 km. The project has been divided into two sections to make it easier to carry out: Section 3: Vallee-Jonction to Tring-Jonction, including the bridge over the Riviere Chaudiere and the sidings, turnarounds and customer connections slightly beyond Tring-Jonction (approximately 21 km); Section 4: Tring-Jonction to Thetford Mines (approx. 37 km). The Ministry is in the process of obtaining one or more agreements with sites for the recovery of asbestos waste (not polluted with hydrocarbons). Some of the culvert work is subject to restrictions on working in the water from 15 June to 15 September. TIMELINE: The owner has issued a notice of call for interest (NCI) for general contractors. Reference number: 20022386. Electronic tender submission accepted: No. The expression of interest must be submitted by a construction company with the resources (tools, supervision, skilled labor) for railway and culvert works. Plans and specifications will be provided. Two lots are considered a priori: • One lot covering section 3, approximately 21 km • One lot covering section 4, approximately 37 km One of the purposes of this NCI is to decide whether the division into 2 lots is relevant, or whether it is appropriate to provide more lots. Interested companies must have the resources available to begin work at the end of winter 2025, beginning of spring 2026. The Ministere des Transports et de la Mobilite durable (Ministere) is the owner of the Chemin de Fer Quebec Central (CFQC) located in the Beauce region between Charny and Thetford Mines. This is a single-track, non-electrified railway designed primarily for freight transport. Note: Sections 1 and 2 (partially) between Charny and Vallee-Jonction along the Chaudiere river are in operation and are not affected by the Notice of Call for Interest (NCI).
