The Agency hereby provides notice that it entered into an emergency contract per S.C. Code Ann. §11-35-1570 with Vendor for the following supplies, services, information technology, or construction:

Structural damage to the SCDNR’s boatslip, home to the Division’s fleet of large research and law enforcement vessels, presents an immediate safety hazard and has put the entire structure at risk of further deterioration and failure. On September 30, 2022, Hurricane Ian opened up holes in the seawall below the waterline and damaged tie-up pilings. Its immediate impact was not fully realized until recently when large sinkholes developed around the boat slip creating a hazard for pedestrians but also endangering adjacent roadway and utilities. Northeast winds and wave action continue to exacerbate the situation. If the structural damage is not addressed immediately, the deterioration and risk of failure continue to grow. Costs associated with these repairs will also increase.

Agency's justification for this emergency procurement may be viewed or obtained at:
