Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) In order to
			 manage the financial risk associated with fuel price volatility, it is hereby
			 declared to be the policy of the Washington state transportation commission
			 (WSTC) that the WSTC may implement a fuel surcharge as an added component to
			 the regular posted fares for passage on vessels operated by Washington state
			 ferries (WSF) to mitigate the financial impacts associated with unexpected
			 increases in fuel prices which exceed those incorporated in WSF's fuel budget.
			 Upon WSTC approval, the total ferry fare charged will consist of the base fare
			 plus an incremental, additional surcharge as calculated according to the
			 formula set forth in this rule.
(2)
			 WSF shall estimate the need for a fuel surcharge on a quarterly basis, based
			 upon the standards prescribed in this rule. For the purposes of this rule,
			 quarters shall be consistent with the state fiscal year definition of
			 quarters.
(3) A fuel surcharge may
			 be implemented where the amount appropriated by the legislature for ferry fuel
			 is less than the reasonable fuel costs projected by WSF for that period. Any
			 fuel surcharge implemented under this section must be approved by a vote of the
			 Washington state transportation commission. Any fuel surcharge implemented
			 under this section may not exceed the amount that would be sufficient to cover
			 the difference between WSF's projected fuel costs and the amount appropriated
			 by the legislature for ferry fuel.
(4) If a fuel surcharge is implemented under
			 this section, the WSTC shall re-evaluate the need for the surcharge on at least
			 a quarterly basis, and if the WSTC determines the surcharge is no longer needed
			 to cover fuel costs not paid for by legislative appropriation, the WSTC shall
			 revoke the surcharge.
(5) If the
			 WSTC approves such a surcharge to be added or modified, then, the department
			 shall:
(a) Notify ORCA partners and customers
			 of the pending surcharge changes at least 30 days prior to implementation of
			 said changes.
(b) Make all
			 surcharge changes effective on the first of the month.

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) It is hereby declared to be the policy of
			 the department to lease toll and ferry facilities and toll and ferry facility
			 space in excess of current needs where feasible and where such lease will not
			 interfere with the normal functioning or the primary operation of the toll or
			 ferry facility. Such leasing should promote maximum use of the toll or ferry
			 facility and constitute a benefit to the taxpayers of the state.
(2) The department is hereby authorized to
			 lease toll or ferry facility property, and food, drink, amusement machine, and
			 similar concessions for periods of up to five years, (except for the Seattle
			 ferry terminal facilities which may be leased for periods of up to ten years)
			 upon public advertisement for bids as follows:
(a) A call for bids shall be published once a
			 week for at least two consecutive weeks preceding the day set for receiving and
			 opening of bids, in not less than two newspapers, both of general circulation
			 in the state.
In the event that the estimated fair market rental value per
				year of any lease is less than $5,000, then the call for bids need be published
				only in one paper of general circulation in the county where the lease is
				located. The final publication shall be at least two days prior to the day set
				for receiving and opening of bids. The call for bids shall state the time,
				place and date for receiving and opening bids, give a brief description of the
				facilities or space to be rented, and contain such special provisions or
				limitations and specifications as may be necessary to comply with applicable
				statutes and the policy described above.
(b) Award shall be made to the responsive
			 responsible bidder whose proposal is most advantageous to the state. Factors to
			 be considered in making the award shall include, but not be limited to: (i) The
			 monetary return to the state; (ii) the safety and comfort of the traveling
			 public; (iii) the stability and reliability of the proposed operation; and (iv)
			 the acceptability of the proposed operation with ferry system operational
			 requirements.

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
Pursuant to chapter 323, Laws of 1997, vessels owned by the
				Washington state ferry system may be made available for charter subject to
				operational availability. Execution of a charter agreement as set forth in the
				statute must precede a commitment to charter. The actual hourly vessel
				operating costs for establishing the rates to be charged for vessel charters
				are calculated by the Washington state ferry system and published on its public
				web site, with updates on an annual or other periodic basis.
The rate for an individual charter will be calculated
				by:
(1) Multiplying the actual hourly
			 operating cost for the vessel that is chartered by the number of hours, or
			 fraction thereof, for which the vessel is chartered;
(2)Adding labor costs, mileage and per diem
			 expenses to determine the total actual cost if the particular charter requires
			 a crew callout; and
(3)Increasing
			 the total actual cost calculated pursuant to subsections (1) and (2) of this
			 section by an appropriate profit margin based on market conditions, and
			 rounding to the nearest fifty dollars.
In the case of charters for the transport of hazardous
				materials, the transporter is required to pay for all legs necessary to
				complete the charter, even if the vessel is simultaneously engaged in an
				operational voyage on behalf of the Washington state ferry
				system.

			 individual who exhibits "unacceptable behavior" which does not rise to the
			 level of criminal conduct and/or does not constitute a safety risk.
(2) An authorized officer may issue a no
			 trespass warning notice, which shall be valid and enforceable for a period of
			 sixty days from the date of its issuance, to any individual when he or she has
			 good cause to issue such a no trespass warning notice, which shall conform to
			 the requirements of subsection (4) of this section. Violation of any term of a
