Engineers installed a series of wedges called shims to reinforce the cracked bolts, the temporary fix clearing the way for the bridge to open by labor day and for the lead contractor, american bridge floor, to collect a controversial 20 million bonus for finishing the bridge on time. To give out a 20 million bonus on a project that is 5,000,000,000. 10 years over budget i think is outrageous. Reporter his issue, a state audit found american bridge floor was at least partly to blame for the busted bolts. Also in the contract were the assumptions that the bridge would be constructed correctly. Also in the contract were the assumption that bolts wouldnt break as soon as you put them under tension. Reporter the cost to permanently fix the bolts . About the same as the bonus, 23 million. Caltrans will ultimately make the decision about the bonus. Some of the questions theyll have to ask, did the contractor earn the bonus and should the contractors culpability concerning the bolts affect the bonus . Thats going to be my goal to make sure that bonuses arent awarded until we understand what went wrong and who is responsible for the problems with this bridge. Reporter caltrans did not return my call this evening. They have not made final decision yet about this issue and its unclear when they will. Reporting from Treasure Island kristin ayers, kpix5.
