GLO must follow very strict guidelines for awarding contracts and that is both good and bad for our project. Good in that they found an issue with the winning bidder in the final phase of the ward - bad because it means that they have to put it out for rebid. This means the timeline starts all over again.

Bids were due on October 25th so they are all in and being analyzed now. The breakwaters are 400 feet long and spaced 660 feet apart in 4 feet depth of water.
