Originally the tenders were limited to <a href="/wiki/Prestressed_concrete" title="Prestressed concrete">prestressed concrete</a> but this was amended to include tenders on a steel alternative. To be acceptable the steel alternative had to show a substantial savings over the concrete design, inclusive of the future painting costs of a steel design. J. Anderson of the Nova Scotia Supreme Court noted in his decision: </p> <blockquote><p>…the steel industry lobbied the Department to permit them to bid on the final phase of the construction and eventually it was agreed that parties be permitted to tender on a steel alternative. In the tender documents were special provisions: Barra Strait Crossing, Phase III, Contract 91-001, which indicates “Bidders on this contract are hereby advised that they will be permitted to submit an alternate bid based on a structural steel type of superstructure if they so desire”. The last portion of that information to bidders states: “To be acceptable a structural steel alternative must show a substantial saving over the precast, prestressed concrete design.”</p></blockquote> <p>In the opinion of the engineer advising the Deputy Minister, the $151,000 savings of the structural steel bid over the best concrete bid would not result in a substantial savings as it did not include future painting costs. Against staff advice, who were opposed to a change from prestressed concrete, the contract was awarded to Maritime Steel who submitted a $7.3 million bid for a structural steel alternative.<sup id="cite_ref-construction_contract_3-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-construction_contract-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The court concluded that the contract was improperly awarded and that the Province did not realize a substantial savings.<sup id="cite_ref-construction_contract_3-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-construction_contract-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Review_of_girder_design">Review of girder design</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Barra_Strait_Bridge&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Review of girder design"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Part way through the construction of phase three a complete review of the girder design became necessary because of modifications to the original deck design which resulted in the use of additional concrete.
