Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This resolution authorizes a contract with Wren Works, LLC for the temporary relocation of the William A. Irvin for an amount not to exceed $656,968.00.
The project consists of temporarily relocating the vessel SS William A. Irvin from its permanent location in Minnesota Slip (Duluth, MN) to Fraser Shipyards’ facility in Superior, WI, so that the MPCA can proceed with remediation of contaminated sediments within the Slip. Contractor will be responsible for moving the vessel to Fraser Shipyards during the fall of 2018 and back to Minnesota Slip in the spring of 2019. The Irvin is classified as a “dead ship” (i.e., it’s engines have been removed) and it will therefore need to be towed. The contractor will be required to install temporary structures to guide the vessel in and out of the slip as well as protect the existing structures.
