Last night we were talking about the amazing speed with which a whole ramp was rebuilt.
The San Francisco Chronicle did a profile on the contractor, C.C. Myers whose company is handling the reconstruction.
From the article:
Myers won the contract with a bargain-basement bid of $876,075, which is just one-third of what the job is likely to cost him. He's betting on raking in every cent Caltrans has promised if he beats the deadline -- $200,000 for each day the job is finished before June 27, with a maximum payout of $5 million.
It's a gamble, even for a man who once owned a casino, because much more than money is at stake.
What a great great local business story!
