Barge Transportation Services

The Municipality of Skagway requests bids from qualified onshore USA contractors to provide one-time barge transportation services. The requested scope includes loading, securing, hauling, and transporting approximately 700 cubic yards of loose scrap metal, 80 bales of white goods, and junk vehicles from designated sites located at 5th and Alaska Street and the Klondike Highway Transfer Station. The contractor must provide all necessary equipment, personnel, and barges, coordinate transportation requirements, and comply with all safety and regulatory rules. Bidders must submit a completed Official Bid Form, required bonding paperwork, financial information if required, and a Bid Bond to be considered responsive. Questions must be submitted no later than September 28, 2026. Bids are evaluated with an award preference given to a Skagway bidder if their bid is not more than five percent higher than the lowest responsive nonresident bidder, and awards may go to the next lowest responsive bidder if documents are not submitted within seven days of the Notice of Intent to Award. The listing description states the contract period is three years, while the project budget requires a proposal. Bidders must follow specific bonding guidelines depending on whether the project cost is under $50,000, between $50,000 and $150,000, or over $150,000.
