Chico. The bridge has been gone for over a year. Plenty of time has passed to subcontract the building of the concrete I or T beams in the DR or offshore. If they are already built or near completion, that would accelerate the bridge replacement and make December 2023 almost viable. Are you aware of any DR concrete fabrication companies capable of building the beams?
Since they just awarded the contract last week it seems unlikely the beams would be cast and cured.
The contractor who was awarded the bridge would surely be the one to cast the beams.
I was the RE on an airport cargo terminal in San Francisco. The pile and foundation contract was awarded and completed by one contractor then the building contract awarded to another.
Of course the building contractor made claims the foundation was not correct and they needed large extras to make it work for the building.
But the completed foundation had been surveyed and certified by a licensed survey company and that had accepted by the building company prior to their NTP. (notice to proceed).
But to back his claim the building company hired a survey of the foundation to show errors in the layout.
However after he filed the claim with the airport, I noted he hired the same engineering/survey firm (but a different office) that the foundation contractor employed who certified it was correct.
Of course with egg on their faces the claim was withdrawn and the building erected.
