Business Segment Information [Abstract]

BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

5. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company’s Transportation and Federal business segments reflect how executive management makes resource decisions and assesses its performance. Each segment operates under a separate management group and produces discrete financial information which is reviewed by management. The accounting policies of the business segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in the Company’s Form 10-K.

The Transportation segment provides services for Surface Transportation, Aviation, and Rail & Transit markets. The Federal segment provides services for Defense, Environmental, Architecture, Geospatial Information Technology, Homeland Security, Municipal & Civil, Pipelines & Utilities and Water markets. Among the services the Company provides to clients in these markets are program management, design-build (for which the Company provides only the design portion of services), construction management, consulting, planning, surveying, mapping, geographic information systems, architectural and interior design, construction inspection, constructability reviews, site assessment and restoration, strategic regulatory analysis and regulatory compliance. LPA’s results are reflected in the Company’s Transportation segment and JMA’s results are reflected in the Company’s Federal segment.

The Company evaluates the performance of its segments primarily based on operating income. Corporate overhead includes functional unit costs related to finance, legal, human resources, information technology, communications and other Corporate functions. Corporate overhead is allocated between the Transportation and Federal segments based on that segment’s percentage of total direct labor. A portion of Corporate income and expense is not allocated to the segments.
