Please clarify That this requires the Contractor/Bidder, and any Subcontractor companies must be a member of ADCI in good standing and have completed an ADCI audit. Please reach out to me you have any questions.

Answer 2:

Diving personnel, training, and diving procedures shall follow the International Consensus Standards for Commercial Diving and Underwater Operations, 6.4 edition. Diver personnel must hold current ADCI certification. It is preferred, but not required, that the Contractor/Bidder and any subcontractor companies be a member of ADCI in good standing and have completed an ADCI Audit.
