One at 17801 Collins Avenue and one at 16901 Collins Avenue. The proposed vendor for this <br />project is Bausch Enterprises, Inc. (Vendor#9052).

These towers will provide lifeguards with elevated vantage points, <br />allowing for better monitoring of swimmers and quicker identification of individuals in distress, <br />ultimately helping to prevent drownings and other water -related incidents. <br />ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: <br />The Contractor shall achieve final completion of the Work no later than December 12, 2025. <br />Copies of the complete contract, including all exhibits and attachments, are on file with the Office of the <br />City Clerk and are available upon request. <br />Item Number: 9.13 <br />112 <br />
