Contract Number:
PA000000026
Procurement Summary:
Through this Request for Proposals (RFP) the Northwest Seaport Alliance (NWSA) is seeking to incentivize the deployment of at least twelve (12) Class 8, zero-emission drayage trucks that will provide cargo-hauling services at NWSA cargo terminals in Seattle and/or Tacoma. We are soliciting proposals from organizations or teams of organizations interested in deploying zero-emission drayage trucks. The NWSA anticipates awarding one (1) or more contract(s) through this RFP. A total of $6.24 million is available at this time. Currently, funding is included in the 2023-25 Washington state biennium budget, meaning grant funding must be used before April 30, 2025. The NWSA is working to have this funding moved to the next biennium, meaning projects would need to be completed by April 30, 2027. This RFP marks the launch of the NWSA’s Zero Emission Drayage Incentive Program, which will be a multi-year effort entailing a series of RFPs to be published in the coming months and years, as additional state and federal funding support is secured for this program. Responding to this RFP does not preclude respondents from competing for future rounds of funding.
