This project entailed the steel fabrication of two orthotropic box girders for the new Oakland Bay Bridge Skyway. The total value for steelwork was approximately $16 million. The two four-lane box girders support the 200' transition section of the Skyway from the causeway to the suspension bridge, housing important earthquake-dampening components.

Lovett Silverman provided a complete review of plant operations and future costs for this and several other complex steel fabrication projects on an urgent basis. The Lovett Silverman team was assembled quickly at the project site and responded with timely crisis intervention. The team developed a cost-to-complete analysis, which included working closely with the Surety's outside accounting firm. As part of the analysis, Lovett Silverman evaluated the overall steel fabrication plant utilization and analyzed the operation and administration costs for several completion scenarios. Lovett Silverman was retained by the surety to assist with the preparation and final claim presentation and negotiations between the Surety and Obligee.
