The most recent renewal of the Coastal Ferry Services Contract was completed for performance term five (April 1, 2020 – March 31, 2024). In total there have been sixteen amending agreements for the contract. An unofficial consolidated working copy of the contract has been prepared for reference. The unofficial consolidated contract comprises the original contract and the changes arising from the sixteen amending agreements.
