The bridge district and the contractors are in a dispute over project snags and payments.
The yearslong delay to the Golden Gate Bridge suicide barrier project is expected to increase project costs by $23 million.
Originally set for completion in January, the bridge suicide barrier is now set to be completed on Jan. 12, 2023, because of delaysin late 2019. The district estimates that the delays through the end of the project will add $23.2 million in administrative and consulting costs, for a total estimated cost of $211 million.
The district awarded a $142 million construction contract in 2017 to Shimmick Construction in a joint venture with the San Francisco-based Danny’s Construction Co. A few months after the contract was awarded, Shimmick Construction was acquired by the multi-national engineering firm AECOM. “The Shimmick-Danny’s Joint Venture is committed to working with our client to ensure the successful delivery of this important project,” spokesman John Gallagher wrote in a statement. “It was prepared to accelerate the construction of the suicide deterrent and prevention barriers, but the District formally declined to do so.
