Yes, and you need a good safety record as well. I’m a one man survey crew subcontractor. I have staked about 40 miles in Arizona on 6 or so projects 2008 to 2017. My client and I bid on 7 miles of replacement at Naco, AZ in August, and started in December with 30% plans.
The drainage improvements are expensive. Sheetpiles are a new item.
Great. I will ping you when I can if the issue of multiple awards opening up opportunities for small business comes up again. It is great to involve big contractors that can “knock it out” but we need to also make sure that those that have to live near the border state areas get opportunities as well.
