How was Dickerson of Florida selected as the dredging contractor? What did the bid review process entail?
Representatives from Martin County’s Coastal Engineering Division and other participating agencies – including The Army Corps of Engineers, Florida Inland Navigation District, and the South Florida Water Management District reviewed and evaluated responses received from dredging contractors. In selecting the best contractor for the job, cost was only one of the factors that were considered. Other factors included: the Contractor’s proposed work plan, project duration and timeline; Contractor’s proposed Environmental Compliance Plans; Contractor’s ability to reduce impact to residents and area infrastructure during the dredging process; Contractor’s willingness and capacity to provide clear and continuous communication about the status of the project; and Contractor’s use of technology. Based on these factors, Dickerson Florida Inc. was selected as the dredging contractor for the Manatee Pocket Project.
