TAB Statement Regarding Protest of 183 Bergstrom Expressway Procurement by Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority (CTRMA)

The statement below, which may be attributed to Bill Hammond, CEO, Texas Association of Business (TAB), is as follows:

“According to some news reports, questions have been raised with regard to the CTRMA procurement of the 183 Bergstrom Expressway project. We need to focus on building roads instead of intrigue. TAB encourages the CTRMA to address these questions in a timely manner so that we can get back to the important job of getting Texans moving and keeping our economic development engine strong.

“Our fast-growing state leads the country on bringing innovative roadway projects to market. Given this growth and the enormous need to relieve traffic congestion in Texas, it is imperative that the industry has confidence in our public procurement processes for roadway infrastructure projects. 

“We need industry confidence and the public trust. We support a transparent and fair process when it comes to addressing the need for improved transportation resources in Texas.”
