The documentation specifies that this service is required every two years and involves detailed inspections of hoist gearboxes. To comply with federal requirements, the document outlines that market research has confirmed Pearlson Shiplift Corporation’s unique position, as prior requests for proposals resulted in only their submission being technically acceptable.
