HB 3209: Managing ferry system costs

Managing costs of the ferry system.

Summary

  • Modifies collective bargaining between representatives of ferry workers and the state, including eliminating the limitation that an arbitrator may only select from the final offers submitted by the parties at bargaining impasses and changing the factors that an arbitrator takes into consideration in making its decision.
  • Allows the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) to perform maintenance and preservation work on ferry vessels and terminals if the cost of the work is less than $120,000 versus the current limit of $60,000, for the remainder of the biennium.
  • Updates capital construction guidelines to include vessels and requires all terminal and vessel funding requests that exceed $5.0 million per project to be accompanied by a pre-design study.
  • Reduces the Washington State Ferries insurance appropriation by $670,000.
