 :: I got many more additional details on the Tompkins side because of the court case and really got a great summary of the project's problems and timetable up until the dismissal. Even the HAER document states rather plainly: ""The contractor for the bridge, Edward DeVoe Tompkins, Inc. of New York City, was dismissed from the project partway through and another firm was hired to complete the bridge."" It doesn't even tell me who was hired. The Grand Street Bridge was one of those pages where I was just really stumped in trying to figure out its chronology and what was relevant without getting bogged down in technical specifications. , sorry to give you another lengthy set of sections to go through, but I think I cleaned it up fairly well.
