This project is to provide all labor, tools, materials, and equipment to construct a new 64 foot aid-to-navigation (ANT) pier located at U.S. Coast Guard Station Corpus Christi, Texas. This project is to replace the existing 64 foot ANT pier with a new pier consisting of pre-cast concrete piles and concrete bents with wood stringers and wood deck.
