Pierce County is seeking a contractor under solicitation 2026-RFP-214 to develop a Ferry Financial Sustainability Plan designed to establish a long-term financial roadmap for the Pierce County Ferry system through the year 2060. The project leverages a variety of existing reference documents, including previous ferry service evaluations, waterborne transportation studies, and lifecycle cost analyses for the M/V Christine Anderson and M/V Steilacoom II. The primary objective is to integrate various expenditure forecasts and funding projections to ensure the long-term viability of the ferry system. The scope of work involves coordinating several critical financial components, including vessel rehabilitation and replacement schedules, annual operations and maintenance cost projections, and major terminal capital project costs. Additionally, the plan will analyze infrastructure and service costs for Anderson Island and project future revenues from state and federal formulaic funds, the County Road Fund, and competitive grants. This effort is managed by the Finance and Enterprise Services agency in Tacoma, Washington, and aims to synchronize long-term expenditure forecasts with predictable and potential revenue sources to achieve systemic financial stability.
