Four consortiums submitted proposals to carry out the studies related to the expansion project of Line 17 of the São Paulo metro, which is expected to include the construction of four new stations.

The consortia that submitted proposals were: Linha 17-Monotrilho Designer Consortium, formed by the companies ARX Brasil, Themag Engenharia, Metroeng Engenharia, Architect Pedro Taddei e Associados and Ettec Consultoria Especializada em Engenharia de Mobilidade, with a value of 48.98 million reais (US$9.6 million) ; Hidroconsult-Agência E-Bonin Consortium, with a value of 63.58 million reais; and Egis-Sener-Setec-EGT Consortium, with a bid of 71.3 million reais.

Finally, the IMNP 17 Consortium, composed of the companies Intertechne Consultores S.A., Maubertec Tecnologia em Engenharia, Nova Engenharia S.A. and Pólux Engenharia, also submitted a proposal, offering a price of 91.3 million reais.

Now the subway administration will carry out the technical evaluation of the proposals, and the result is expected to be announced in the second half of August.

Once the studies have been carried out, the state government plans to hold the tender for construction in 2028, with work scheduled to begin a year later and completion estimated for 2032.

The São Paulo metro plans are closely monitored by stakeholders, since the state concentrates most of the planned and ongoing projects in the passenger transport sectors in Brazil.
