More than two years ago, Parsons Brinckerhoff joined the WSP family of companies. We are now moving
forward by uniting under the WSP name worldwide. This name change reinforces what we have become, a
diversified professional services firm that can take on the most complex assignments across different end
markets — transportation, buildings, energy, water and the environment. Importantly, we also have the ability
to manage interfaces between those markets with our advisory services and program management
expertise.
Effective on or about May 1, 2017, Parsons Brinckerhoff, Inc., will change its name to WSP USA Inc. We ask
that you update your records to reflect this change. If your organization requires specific action or additional
information from us to formalize this change in your records, please reply with that information so we may
take the necessary actions.
There is no change to our management, and we will continue to operate as we always have with a focus on
our core values of integrity, teamwork, excellence and respect. Our contractual relationship with you is
unaffected by this name change. Our Federal Identification Number (11- 1531569) remains unchanged and
the existing insurance coverage on your project remains in full force and effect.
We remain committed to providing the experienced people and technical skills to achieve the goals of your
project. The project teams assigned to your organization — including project managers, project staff, and
senior management — will not change, and we remain committed to making the full resources available to
ensure your satisfaction with our work.
We value our business relationship and look forward to that continuing in the future.
Kind regards,
Kenneth B. Spillett
Senior Vice President
Construction Services Manager - Florida
