TITLE

Request authorization for the County Executive to enter into a contract between Whatcom County and San Juan Cruises to provide temporary passenger ferry service to Lummi Island, in the amount of $83,328

BODY

SUMMARY STATEMENT OR LEGAL NOTICE LANGUAGE:

Proposals were duly advertised and submitted for Temporary Passenger Ferry Service to Lummi Island (RFP #20-26). The County requested proposals for three types of service: 1) Passenger Service utilizing floating docks, 2) Passenger Service not requiring floating docks, and 3) Vehicle Ferry Service. The County received one proposal for Passenger Service utilizing float docks.  We did not receive any proposals for the other two types of service.

The only bidder, San Juan Cruises, quoted the following rates: The daily rate for September 1 through April 30 will be $3200. This time period coincides with the annual dry dock.  The daily rate for May 1 through August 31 will be $6,400, if needed for emergencies during that time period.
