Hyde County is looking for a firm to manage the passenger trams that operate in Ocracoke Village when the Ocracoke Express passenger ferry provides service.

This will be the seventh season for the passenger ferry, which sails from the Hatteras ferry terminal into Silver Lake harbor and this year will run from May 13 to Sept. 15.

The tram service requires two vehicles circulating the village during the hours of passenger ferry operations.

The term of the contract will be three years with two one-year extensions.

A copy of the Request for Proposal (RFP) is available on the County of Hyde website, www.hydecountync.gov.

Proposals will be received until 5 p.m. Wednesday, March 25, at the Hyde County Manager’s Office, PO Box 188, Swan Quarter, N.C., 27885.

Questions regarding the RFP should be directed in writing to Kris Cahoon Noble, Hyde County Manager, knoble@hydecountync.gov.
