SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Project Description: This project will replace the bearings and fenders at the bearing end of both transfer ramps between the container terminal and the floating dock.
These critical transfer ramp components are aged and due for replacement and identified in the latest 2015 facility inspection.
Construction Schedule: The Contractor has between October 1, 2021 and April 1, 2022 to complete the work for this project. The delay between award and the start of construction is to allow for the review and ordering of the bearings and fenders which are long lead time items.
