Rich,

I looked at both bids closely. I =id a quick sketch to help (I hope) visualize whats going on with the sea w=lI and what both Contractors are proposing.

The First part of both bids=are relatively the same. Remove old sheet piling, pound new sheet piling i=to the lake floor a few inches out from the old concrete and pour new conc=ete. This is meant to help hold back the base of existing sea wall.

Thi= step will help hold and buy some time, and I would say that both contract=rs would be in the $30,000.00 range to complete this job.

Step 2 .=This is where Pilings Plus would drill 29 manta rays approximately every 5=foot along the sea wall on an angle down to further reinforce =he sea wall. I've enclosed a youtube video link, so you can understand=what a manta ray is and does.

Step 3. Drill 18 weep holes approximately=every 8 foot along the sea wall with well points to allow water to drain o=t but not the soil.

=C2* As the tide rises the water from the lake actually flows =ehind the sea wall and the water in the ground will rise with the tides. W=en the tide goes out the water is trapped behind the sea wall causing hydr=static pressure trying to get out. The weep holes allow it to go out reduc=ng hydrostatic pressure.

Conclusion: Labontes bid or just ins=alling the new sheet piling and concrete is a one step approach for

repair=

Q=AO Pilings Plus=has a multi or 3 step approach for repair that addresses 3 separate issues= and of course is more costly but likely a more permanent repair.

I hop= this helps
Thanks,
Brian
