The San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge East Span Seismic Safety Project is a replacement bridge for the existing east bay spans. The Self-Anchored Suspension Bridge (SAS) Superstructure and Tower package is for construction of the signature span of the new bridge. This 625-meter portion of the new bridge includes parallel orthotropic box girders and a single steel tower to support the main cables. The bridge is currently being constructed using temporary towers and barge-mounted cranes.

OPAC was engaged by Ishikawajime-Harima Heavy Industries Co., Ltd (IHI) of Japan to provide engineering services during the bidding period. Services included preliminary design of the temporary towers and foundations (to the 50% design level adequate for bidding) as well as highlighting the project special provisions and reviewing bidder inquiries for this non-English speaking client.
