<br />•ten .of the* -bidders to inquire as. to, why they had. not picked;....?
<br />.`up "contract documents for this''work.';;:The contractors
<br />communicated various reasons as noted in the attached memo
<br />from Fran Boynton to Jim Davis dated Nov. 5,
<br />PBSJ has reviewed the bids, and .contacted various _'firms and
<br />government agencies to ' determine the contractor's.,
<br />qualifications and past performance. As a result of this -
<br />effort and the fact that only one bid. was. received, .the
<br />Consultant and County staff would normally recommend that
<br />the project be re -bid. However, the US Coast Guard Aids to
<br />Navigation Branch in Miami has informed the County that it
<br />is critical to replace the timber fender system as soon as
<br />possible. The timber structure is rapidly deteriorating and
<br />falling into the intracoastal waterway..: channel.
<br />Navigational lights on the fenders cannot be kept in working
<br />condition. This situation places the entire bridge in
<br />jeopardy if a large vessel wandered off course As recently
<br />happened in Fort Pierce. _
<br />The contractor has indicated that if the County disposes of
<br />the old timber structure, a substantial savings would
<br />.•result. Staff is trying to determine the amount of savings
<br />at this time.
