The contract runs six years, then five more
The Golden Gate Bridge district awarded a 864 million dollar construction contract to Halmar International in October 2025. The district expects the work to run about six years.
Roads and Bridges reports a second contract of about 900 million dollars over five more years. The district lists the whole of Phase 3B as a 2026 to 2036 programme, and the report puts the total above 1.8 billion dollars against an original estimate of 880 million dollars.
A contract of that length holds an engineering and trades workforce in one geography for years.
The shift sets the booking pattern
Closures run Monday to Friday, 8:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. The Friday shift ends at 7:00 a.m. Saturday.
Monday 12 October carried no closures under Caltrans holiday restrictions. The district cancels work for weather and for holidays.
A crew on that shift books weekday nights, turns rooms at 5:00 a.m. and takes breakfast inside the reopening window.
The district publishes no crew headcount, no room block and no lodging contract for the job. The published facts are the shift window, the contract length and the corridor inventory.
What the corridor carries
The northern corridor's directory holds 23 cards across six cities, with one Mill Valley property listed twice.
Five cards sit in Sausalito, two in Tiburon, six in Mill Valley, one in Corte Madera, one in Larkspur and eight in San Rafael.
One card carries a long-stay brand: Extended Stay America on Francisco Boulevard East in San Rafael. One further card is all-suite: Embassy Suites by Hilton San Rafael at Marin Center.
The remaining cards carry independent, chain and motel formats. A six-year contract meets a thin supply of long-stay product.
Where the two calendars meet
Weekend demand occupies the same rooms. Event dates and school breaks fix months out, and the rate is priced at booking.
The middle of the week is where the two calendars meet. A group that books Tuesday to Thursday takes rooms a crew block also wants.
A property that signs a crew agreement sets a term, a rate basis and a release. A term shorter than the contract leaves the property to reprice mid-programme.
Where the record stops
The district publishes no occupancy, average rate or revenue-per-room figure for the corridor. It publishes no delay in minutes.
The programme carries federal, state and district money. The district's project page names the three sources and publishes no split.
The revenue manager holds a date range and a nightly window. Both are published, and the district reissues the calendar every week.
