After an evaluation process which included interviews, SRF was the selected consultant. The SRF team has five (5) subconsultants including Landmark Environmental, Bolton & Menk, Transportation Collaborative & Consultants, Braun Intertec, and Hess Roise and Company to meet the Small and Underutilized Businesses (SUBP) goal of 4% combined MBE and WBE.
