Construction Company Finally Awarded Surfside Beach Pier Contract

A construction company was awarded the Surfside Beach Pier contract….again. Since the pier’s destruction in 2016 due to hurricane Matthew, controversy has enveloped the restoration process. Most recently, the bid was awarded to one company in July which was followed by an internal lawsuit within the Surfside Beach City Council. They rescinded the bid, claiming the freedom of information act was violated. Finally, last night in a 7 to 0 vote, a different company, Consensus Construction, was approved for the project.
