Blue line: $1.1B to excavate the main tunnel
It will cost $1.1 billion to excavate the main tunnel for the blue line extension, as well as three of the five stations.
Only Pomerleau bid, so they will lead the consortium to do the work.

Well, that sure is convenient. To be fair the city is a notoriously bad client for any kind of serious work, but still.

I don’t think it’s corrupt. I don’t know how much of the choice comes from a Quebec‑first policy, but there actually can’t be many engineering firms around here with expertise and experience in a project on this scale. We’ve had discussions on this topic here before.
