Marine Contracting Corporation submitted a bid in the amount of $121,380. Marine Contracting Corporation was the company that built the in-shore breakwater and is familiar with the design
The Town received funding from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) grant ($528,615), and funding for the breakwater repairs will most likely be derived from this grant.
Town Council will vote on this measure at the next Regular Meeting this Thursday.
