The proposed pier should also be constructed in a manner for additional add on in the future. Pier must be floating with preference given to designs that are the least complicated for additional add on. Average water level depth at pier location is approximately 3 feet. Contractors are encouraged to do a site visit prior to bid submission. Pier location is at an active day use area and it will be the contractor’s responsibility to determine how best for them to access the site during construction. Forest Service representatives will be available to discuss possible routes. Any damage to the area due to contractors work shall be the responsibility of the contractor to remedy. Prospective bidders will be responsible for submitting a proposal that shall include drawings of the proposed pier and material/installation specifications for products to be used. Proposals will be evaluated on meeting ABA compliance, durability of materials and cost of maintenance. Contractors will be evaluated on Past Performance, Technical Proposal, and Price. Award will be made to the contractor with the lowest price technically acceptable.
