By Amit Chowdhry • Nov 2, 2024

Parsons will acquire BCC Engineering (a Florida-based transportation engineering firm) for $230 million in cash. BCC (owned by Trivest Partners) offers planning, design, and management services for projects in Florida, Georgia, Texas, South Carolina, and Puerto Rico. This deal boosts Parsons’ infrastructure presence in the Southeastern U.S. and aligns with its strategy of buying high-growth companies with over 10% revenue growth and strong EBITDA margins.

BCC completed over 100 major projects for the Florida Department of Transportation and it has been named a top workplace and a top design firm. And Parsons and BCC have been long-time collaborators on key infrastructure projects and will continue delivering value and impact for clients globally.

BCC will be integrated into Parsons’ North America Infrastructure business unit.

The deal is set to close in 30 days, pending customary conditions. BofA Securities and Jenner & Block advised Parsons, while Akerman advised BCC.
