The Alaska Marine Highway System is working to finalize the sale of its fast ferries to an overseas bidder.
At the time bids were opened on January 13, a state procurement officer noted that a lower price could still be negotiated.
“We do have a responsive bidder and we are continuing as we speak today to work through the process to close the sale, ” John Falvey, the state-run ferry system’s general manager, told the Senate Transportation Committee on Tuesday.
