North LRT Extension Project NLRT-10
RFP 917788 – CBTC DESIGN BUILD CONTRACT
INTRODUCTION
AREVA NP Canada Ltd. (AREVA Canada), is pleased to provide this proposal to City of
Edmonton for the Supply of CBTC DESIGN BUILD SERVICES for its LRT system. As
described in this proposal, AREVA Canada will draw upon its resources and experience as well
as that of its sister company AREVA TA to support the city of Edmonton with expert service.
AREVA Canada wants to be the City of Edmonton’s supplier of choice. That’s why we’ve taken
a hard look at the value that we can provide with our proposal through: value-added benefits,
quality, predictable performance, experienced teams and state-of-the-art technology to ensure
efficient performance with no costly mistakes.
AREVA has been following the evolution of the Edmonton Transit System for the last few years,
and have visited the ETS authorities on more than four occasions. We understand your system
and feel totally confident that our product will assist in enhancing the Operations and increase
the safety of the system.
At AREVA, quality is a cornerstone of our business. In the competitive safety system for
transportation equipment and services market, AREVA knows that success can only come from
repeat business growing out of long-term relationships with our customers – relationships which
depend on customer satisfaction each and every time we perform. Nothing is more important to
this satisfaction than quality and safety, for without quality products and services delivered to
the highest standards, even the best price or most expedient schedule cannot earn the
customer’s respect. That is why AREVA is committed to quality and safety in every aspect of
our work, on every job large or small and throughout our organization.
The AREVA Group is a world-class safety and nuclear products and services provider to power
generation customers worldwide. AREVA has been in Canada for more than 40 years and has
a presence in several Canadian provinces and Nunavut. AREVA Canada has more than 600
employees and contractors in eight locations across the country that are engaged in:
exploration, mining, manufacturing and solutions for CO2-free power generation. A leader in
Canada’s uranium production, AREVA is also a major player in the manufacture of radiation
measuring equipment through our subsidiary CANBERRA, and as a services and engineering
provider for Canadian nuclear reactors.
AREVA is structured as a matrix organization with six business sectors; Mines, Front End,
Reactors and Services, Back End, Renewable Energy and Engineering and Projects. With
manufacturing facilities in more than 40 countries and a sales network of more than 100,
AREVA offers its customers solutions for highly reliable nuclear power generation.
Building on its ability to combine the highest levels of safety with high operational efficiency,
AREVA has been active in the field of Rail Transportation safety control systems for the past
twenty years ; with a special focus on Mass Transit and development of CBTC system for the
past ten years. AREVA’s centre of expertise for this activity is in the hands of its subsidiary
AREVA TA – 2700 people strong mainly located in France.
27
City of Edmonton
To deliver complete transportation projects, AREVA has systematically teamed with

partners/suppliers who provide deployment/installation services and facilities as well as after
sales support; with engineering capabilities, these entities have an in depth knowledge of each
customer specific environment, to design and integrate the CBTC systems according to
prevailing operational and safety rules. AREVA also systematically implements project and
design team as close as practical to its customer as quality communication and full
understanding require close proximity.
We have naturally organised the CBTC design built services for Edmonton LRT along the same
philosophy, with partners already involved with the LRT system of ETS and a project/design
office of 5 -10 people ( including the project manager ) located in Edmonton for the entire
duration of the project
AREVA Canada wants to be your trusted partner and help you meet all your performance and
financial goals. The City of Edmonton can trust AREVA Canada to honour its commitments and
finish what we start.
CONTACT INFORMATION
We appreciate this opportunity to propose our services to the City of Edmonton and look
forward to working with your organisation on this important project. For additional information or

Executive Summary
AREVA interest and fit
AREVA has had a vested interest in Edmonton LRT CBTC project for over two
years
• And more generally for Canada : two projects in bidding phase for Canadian
transit customers, and other opportunities sin tracking mode (Ottawa LRT,
Transit City LRT, STM LRT, Quebec City LRT)
The « medium » size of ETS project deserves a « mid size » supplier (200
persons working on Transit CBTC- ATP within AREVA TA )
• Benefit of combined flexibility, high motivation in making the project a success
• AREVA known in the field for its capability to listen/absence of arrogance
• Yet with the security of a large group ( 50000 employees)

• Final assembly/installation/deployment (Chermix)
• Axle counters/Interlocking ( GE)
• CTC : ARINC
managed under sub contract to provide single responsibility to City of Edmonton
AREVA TA (2700 empl) – which includes centre of expertise for CBTC – and
AREVA group entirely backing AREVA Canada LTD commitments
Technical contents
Light, yet « true » CBTC , deployed with ETS operational needs in mind
• Including the « new » functions such as level crossings
• Minimizing risk for disturbance, with no compromise on redundancies
Solution not requiring any new inter-car (auto- coupler) trainlines
• Working exclusively with existing redundant fiber ethernet + rail PLC option
for increased availability
Modular – easy to install product, taking advantages of new technologies
Robust communication system ; entirely redundant in itself and offering strong
protection against interferences

CBTC Design Build Contract for the Edmonton North LRT Extension (NLRT
Siemens is pleased to submit its Proposal (the “Siemens Proposal”) for the Edmonton Transit CBTC
Design Build Contract for the Edmonton North LRT Extension in accordance with the City of
Edmonton’s Request for Proposal Number 917788.
Siemens strongly believes that its Proposal fully aligns with Edmonton Transit’s (ETS) aim of
delivering a first class, safe and reliable LRT service to the City of Edmonton. Siemens supplied the
original signalling system that was installed on the ETS light rail system and it has proved to be the
basis of a safe and reliable system for over thirty years. The City of Edmonton can again rely on
Siemens to provide a solution that will meet and exceed the high standards which it has already set.
Siemens looks forward to having its Proposal considered by the Evaluation Committee, including
the Initial Evaluation Scoring of the Siemens Proposal and its associated technical elements as
described in Section 00 21 16 of the RFP. Siemens fully expects to be one of the short
listed Proponents and looks forward to the opportunity to present to ETS, in further detail. the
Siemens Proposal and its associated technical solution.
Siemens is absolutely committed to Edmonton Transit’s expansion and its CBTC Design
Build Project for the Edmonton NLRT. Siemens fully intends to enhance its already strong
partnership with ETS by successfully delivering this Project and working with ETS on future Transit
Signals upgrades. Siemens’ goal is to continue to be an instrumental partner with ETS for the
provision of a total transportation system that will support and enhance the continuing development
of the social and economic prosperity of the City of Edmonton.
Sincerely,
Siemens Canada Limited

Resignalling Experience – Phased Implementation
Thales’ urban rail CBTC resignalling experience dates back to London Docklands Light Rail
in the early 1990s when our SelTrac CBTC replaced the original conventional signal system
in the worlds first CBTC resignalling project. Following this success, we met and overcame
challenging conditions in San Francisco on the MUNI Market Street tunnel in the mid 1990s,
which was a very similar CBTC application when compared to the Edmonton NLRT programme.
These projects were followed by Paris’ Line 13, New York, Santiago and the world’s largest
urban resignalling project incorporating three lines of the London Underground.
Thales has developed a rigorously controlled approach Cutover switches enable quick transfer of control between
