Spiritwood (CSi)  — Spiritwood Energy Park Association announced this week that Dakota Missouri Valley Western RR (DMVW) of Bismarck, ND was awarded the bid for the rail procurement and construction project in Spiritwood Township, Stutsman County, ND.

The DMVW bid was within the proposed $7.5M budget set for the project. The Dakota Missouri Valley Western RR company rated highly in all of the following areas: (a) extensive knowledge of the site; (b) extensive project specific experience with Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) (c) lowest financial risk factor and (d) lowest safety risk factor.

 

DMVW has a strong working knowledge of the site. They were the contractor that built the Spiritwood Station rail spur. They are also under contract to operate the rail on the neighboring sites. DMVW is very well experienced in the rail construction industry and has extensive experience working with Class A Railroads.

 

“We are excited to have DMVW as partners in this promising venture and look forward to a phenomenal growth period in the Spiritwood Energy Park!” stated Connie Ova, SEPA Business Manager. DMVW will begin construction on May 1, 2014 and finish on October 1, 2014, weather permitting.
