MEMORANDUM

Jim Barrett,Sports Fishing Administrator ~)
Bureau of Marine Resource Regulation and ~lopment
FROM:
SUBJECT: Bidding requirements waiver: Niles Channel Bridge
In response to your inquiry of December 9, please be advised
that the "emergency" designation of the Niles Channel Bridge
project is valid only as long as the emergency exists;
i.e., if contractor for Department of T~ansportation re-sche-
duled the bridge removal for late January or early February 1983
as originally announced, ther~ would be no emergency. In that
case the purpose of abrogating b~dding requirements would no
longer be valid and the county would be bound to revert to the
rule.
I hope this adequately responds to your question.
The County and the Florida Keys Artificial Reef Association
are to be commended for accomplishing the placement of large
quantities of stable material on the reef sites at little or
no cost to the governments.
If I can be of any further assistance, please call.
