consultants

Dallas Morning News' transportation reporter Michael Lindenberger reports that North Texas Tollway (NTTA) staff have recommended dropping Wilbur Smith Associates (WSA) for C&M Associates for the Authority's  traffic and revenue forecasting work. The recommendation was presented to the board at their public meeting Thursday by chief financial officer Janice Davis.

North Texas Tollway Authority (NTTA) are breaking with their practice of relying heavily on contracted consultant firms for legal, engineering, planning and financial services in favor of hiring staff. And they plan to recompete consulting contracts in place for years by periodic negotiation.
