RFP-JA- Management Services Morris County Railroads - Management Services Morris County Railroads

Summary of Specifications:
The County of Morris is soliciting proposals from qualified railroad operators to manage Morris County’s three short line railroads for operation of freight service on a regular basis based on customer demand, and maintenance of the County-owned railroad property of these three railroads. The bidder will be required to work closely with the Morris County Division of Transportation throughout the five (5) year term of this agreement. The County owns three short line railroads that are within the County borders, the Dover & Rockaway Railroad, the Chester Branch Railroad, and the High Bridge Branch Railroad (County Railroads). While the County strongly supports railroad freight service, which is demonstrated through its ownership of these three railroads, it is not desirous of operating or bearing the liability for them.
