The terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Bay Engineering – together with its affiliate Bay Environmental, Inc. – provides technical consulting services for commercial, industrial, retail, and residential projects. Its services include engineering design, land surveying, land use and site planning, permit processing, stormwater management, environmental consulting, and more.
