JUSTIFICATION FOR EMERGENCY PROCUREMENT
AGENCY: South Carolina Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism
PROJECT NAME: Myrtle Beach State Park Pier Repair
PROJECT NUMBER: P28-N029-PD
Based upon the following determination, the proposed procurement action described below is being procured pursuant to the authority of SC Code § 11-35-1570 and SC Regulation19-445.2110.
This Agency proposes to procure:
Replacement of four (4) piles and associated knee bracing as needed.
(1)
as an Emergency Procurement from:
R.L. Morrison and Sons, Inc.
(2)
The basis for this emergency determination and the reason no other vendor is suitable is:
Regarding the pier at Myrtle Beach State Park, SCPRT is requesting emergency procurement due to the challenges and unique nature of marine work regarding pier repairs. Due to the monetary value, the previous pier repair project was delayed for a bit over a year until repairs could be made. SCPRT was able to maintain a portion of the pier open for recreation during this period. With only a portion of the pier head being open, there were countless complaints from visitors regarding not being able to access the entire pier for fishing/recreating, not to mention the noticeably lower visitation of the pier shop. Since the current extent of the damage has required a larger portion of the pier to be closed, it is expected for these lower visitation numbers to continue.
With the pier repairs from the original storm damage that dated back to 2022 having just been completed in early December of 2023, in late December of 2023 and January of 2024 the pier sustained additional damage due to storms which put it in its current state. This has effectively led to a shutdown of a portion of the pier for nearly 18 months.Addtionally, the previous peir repair only received one (1) bidder. Due to these factors, the South Carolina Department of Parks, Recreation & Tourism is looking to help improve visitor experiences as well as protect statewide recreational assets through emergency procurement of the repair of the pier piles and associated cross braces. The pier will be more susceptible to damage the longer the structure remains in the damaged state
