CONTACT
Florida Drawbridges, Inc.’s plan is designed to allow the customer to contact us easily and effectively. This goal is achieved by providing as many outlets for that contact as possible. Listed telephone numbers are utilized for customer’s service. These numbers are posted at all locations, listed on associates’ business cards, and in local telephone directories. Florida Drawbridges, Inc. also maintains an Internet website. This website provides detailed information on Florida Drawbridges, Inc. and the bridges themselves, as well as electronic mail addresses so that customers can submit requests or complaints.

With our expertise operating drawbridges we have formed relationships with local businesses, such as the local tug boat companies, special interest groups, such as Transit Authorities, Law Enforcement, the U.S. Coast Guard, and City or County Departments. We provide them with a contact list of our bridges, our supervisors, and management staff.
Our drawbridge experience has always translated into providing service twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Consequently, we have established and refined a system of careful planning and coordination which allows for an active member of management to be available at all hours of the day and night. As difficult situations can arise after normal business hours, our responsiveness benefits the client and the community.
-
When there is a bridge malfunction, interrupting traffic, our people are notified and respond within 30 minutes prepared to make repairs. We have the movable bridge expertise to safely allow for bridge passage, even if repairs are on going.
-
We provide on the spot coordination with users of the bridge, be that contractors, government officials, city utilities, waterway commerce or vehicular passage. This results in less demand on the DOT for the routine issues of the bridges and waterways.
INFORMATION
From our drawridge experience we have found that 90 percent of customer calls can be resolved by providing information. Therefore, comprehensive time schedules, curfews, phone numbers, and standard operating procedures are kept on every bridge and in every office.
As information is the key to 90% of customer inquiries, Florida Drawbridges, Inc. takes proactive measures to keep the users of the bridge informed. We conduct meetings, and speak with local clubs on a regular basis making ourselves available and at the same time providing information through educational talks.
The most common first point of customer contact is the bridges themselves. Our bridge tenders are trained to effectively diagnose the appropriate response to the customer. It is a point of pride in our tenders to be able to respond to the customer’s questions in a knowledgable, yet regulation and safety conscious manner. We support our bridge tenders in their commitment to customer satisfaction by rewarding good performance and giving them the proper tools and training necessary to do their job professionally.
