Additionally, improvements to utilities, raising the deck of the main pier, and installation of a boat lift are included in the scope of work.

These criteria are specific and objective standards established by an agency as a precondition to award which are designed to measure a prospective contractor's ability to perform the contract. In order to be found responsible, the apparent low bidder must demonstrate their past experience with defined work criteria. The three DRAFT criteria are: 1) Installation of Sheet Pile Wave Screens, 2) Marine Construction Experience 3) Underwater Construction/Diving Experience, 4) Utility Upgrade/Installation Experience Criteria 1: Installation of Sheet Pile Wave Screens: Bidder shall provide three examples of completed contracts performed in the last five years installing sheet pile wave screens comparable to those specified at a production rate comparable to what will be required in this contract. Criteria 2: Marine Construction Experience: Bidder shall provide three examples of completed contracts performed in the last five years involving construction in a marine setting comparable to what will be required in this contract.
