As of April 29, 2008, METRO has engaged Parsons Transportation Group to advance the program.
This decision is neither a setback nor a surprise to METRO, said METRO's President & CEO Frank Wilson.
"All the development work done by WGI remains METRO's product and we're maintaining the current schedule," Wilson said. "As planned, we're going to begin construction on the East End line in June."
Wilson said he has directed WGI to keep all current subcontractors in place.
Wilson added that METRO's decision not to proceed with WGI was based on a number of factors, including its failure to deliver an acceptable and reasonable price for the next phase of construction and its failure to deliver on promises made in its original proposal.
