Council awards Fraser Shipyard Phase 3 dock-wall rehab and inspection services

The Common Council voted Oct. 20 to award the Fraser Shipyard dry-dock wall rehabilitation Phase 3 construction contract to Marine Tech LLC for approximately $3,000,172 and to award construction-observation services to AMI Consulting Engineers for $76,500. The motions passed on voice votes.

Planning and port staff recommended the awards. Councilor Sweeney asked whether there were multiple bids; staff confirmed there were multiple bids on the construction contract and that Marine Tech’s bid was the low responsive bid. Staff said only one proposal was received for the construction-observation scope and AMI — the project’s design engineer — was the sole proposer.

Council took the award motions after a brief procedural discussion; no public comment was recorded on the project. The awards authorize the city to proceed with Phase 3 construction and contracted oversight work subject to standard contracting and inspection processes.
