Our marine construction services stem from almost fifty years of experience in the resolution of technical, cost, and schedule issues associated with construction and repair disputes in the marine and offshore industries. Stemming from our background as naval architects, marine engineers, and project managers, we offer many services to assist in the prevention or resolution of these issues, as described below.
Bid Preparation
Many of the principles that apply to Fisher Maritime’s other consulting services have applications in the creation of complete and responsive bid packages for our clients. In many instances, our bid preparation services also include a ‘translation’ of the solicitation’s requirements into manageable items that the bidder is then able to address.
Contract Formation
Fisher Maritime prepares drafts of contracts, specifications, and complete bid packages for new construction, conversion, overhaul, or repair. We also provide a quality assurance review of already-drafted contracts and specifications.
Specification Quality Assurance
Fisher Maritime reviews the technical specifications for major projects during contract formation to remove ambiguities, ensure completeness of expressed intents, clarify the assignment of responsibilities, and prevent the potential for ambiguous assumptions by bidders.
