Very unscrupulous practice right from the beginning and was forced on the city.
It was the unethical management by City Hall on this project that I feel should have shut this down. Not the cosmetics of the bridge or cost that is an entirely seperate issue to itself.
Design and construction contracts are two very separate things. Sole source design happens all the time. Tenders for construction are almost always done via bidding.

If you're going to start naming off names of construction contractors, then you should probably be aware of their part in a project before making statements like that.
