BOSTON – Bechtel/Parsons Brinckerhoff has agreed to pay $407 million to resolve its criminal and civil liabilities in connection with the ceiling collapse in the I-90 Connector Tunnel that killed a motorist nearly two years ago.
The agreement with the Big Dig consultant was announced Wednesday afternoon by Attorney General Martha Coakley and federal officials.
The payment also covers defects in the slurry walls of the Tip O’Neill Tunnel; another 24 section-design consultants that worked on various parts of the massive Central Artery project have agreed to pay an additional $51 million to resolve certain cost recovery issues associated with the Big Dig’s design.
