• AtkinsRéalis (formerly Atkins): Global engineering, design, and project management firm with major transportation infrastructure practice. RTEA is a sub to Atkins on Caltrans District 11 work, positioning Atkins as a prime that both competes for and sources work to RTEA.
• WSP USA: Global engineering professional services firm with major California transportation practice serving Caltrans, LA Metro, and other agencies RTEA also serves. WSP represents a broad incumbent that competes for the same prime contracts but rarely in the DBE set-aside segment.
• Parsons Corporation: Large global engineering and defense firm with significant transportation infrastructure practice. RTEA currently serves as sub to Parsons on Caltrans District 8 design services; the two firms compete and collaborate on the same public infrastructure opportunities at very different scales.
