Submission Instructions
Description
The Port of Columbia is soliciting proposals from qualified firms to determine the feasibility, economic impacts, and next steps for initiating heritage tourist train service between Dayton and Waitsburg, with subsequent service potentially extending to Walla Walla. The study must address demographic and regional conditions, market demand, technical and operational feasibility, infrastructure and support-service needs, management structure, financial feasibility, economic impacts, and recommendations on whether to proceed. The selected firm must provide a fixed-fee proposal and completion timeline. The feasibility study must include detailed start-up and five-year operating and capital pro forma budgets with monthly data, assumptions, ridership estimates, equipment and infrastructure needs, operating and access arrangements, insurance and risk considerations, revenue sources, and potential grant or other funding pathways. Proposals must include firm qualifications and relevant experience, six current references, resumes for proposed team members, methodology and approach, proposed exceptions, and pricing for multiple corridor-scope options.
