The project has two components: 1) Design engineering for bid specifications, and 2) Procurement, delivery, assembly, and testing of the barge ramp. Key performance metrics include tracking freight volumes, cargo lifts, highway vehicle miles traveled reduced, fuel savings, greenhouse gas emissions reductions, and maintenance/congestion cost savings. The award was granted to the Port of Bellingham on August 15, 2024, with a targeted completion date of March 31, 2030.
