United States Army Corps of Engineers, Jacksonville District:

Here the quote from the Evaluation Report for the 2010 project GIWW, CR-AR, Maintenance Dredging, Vicinity of Venice Inlet, 9-Foot Project, Sarasota County, FL:

    “It is with the utmost confidence that I endorse Inner Space Services, Inc. as my top Safety Pays nominee for award. Inner Space Services experience and safety program resulted in no accidents during the project and allowed them to control risk during all phases of the project. I was specifically impressed by ISSI ability to safely manage the number of people that wanted to cross through the construction site to the adjacent beach areas.

    Their commitment to keeping people away from dangerous areas during the project clearly was in the best interest of public safety and our project. Second, the company was committed to maintaining safe operations for recreational vessels through Venice Inlet and the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway by ensuring boaters understood which side of the dredge it was safe to pass. West Coast Inland Navigation District, the customer, was also extremely impressed with the environmental and safety controls the contractor used for the project.

    Therefore, based on the company’s performance and the opinion of all members involved in the projects I offer the superior endorsement of Inner Space Services, Inc. as the Safety Pays Awardee for a Dredging Small Business.”
