About.
Courtney Robertson
Courtney has always had an interest in organizational management. Much of her working career and educational training/degree have focused on team building. Currently, she is in the process of becoming a Certified Coach from the International Coach Federation.
To continue along this path, she started a small consulting company, CocoConsult, in 2018. The mission of the company has been to assist others as they use collaborative approaches to the procure/deliver of projects. These projects are generally in the transportation/heavy civil market sector.
CocoConsult is based in Salt Lake City, Utah as a certified DBE. We have or are currently working with Flatiron, Caltrans, Middlesex, Herzog, Valley Metro Rail, Stacy & Witbeck, Sound Transit, and Kiewit, to help with the procurement of project and the collaborative approach to project delivery.
Steve Meyer
Steve has over 35 years of experience in the transportation industry. Steve retired from the Utah Transit Authority in August 2019 after 17 ½ years. For the last 16 months, Steve served as the Interim Executive Director, assisting the organization in a governance transition from a 16-member to a three-member board of trustees and significant organizational restructuring.
Steve previously served as the Chief Development Officer for Utah Transit Authority, leading a team managing environmental, project development, real estate acquisition, property management, facility maintenance, asset management, and transit-oriented development. He oversaw the completion of UTA’s FrontLines 2015 program which added 70 miles of new rail transit to the Wasatch Front. The $2.5 billion program was completed two years ahead of schedule and $300 million under budget. Steve also served as the manager of engineering and construction for the Weber County to Salt Lake City and Provo to Salt Lake City commuter rail projects and the Salt Lake Central Hub TRAX extension.
Steve has a degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Idaho. Prior to his career at the Utah Transit Authority, he spent three years with a construction contractor, five years with state and local transportation agencies, and twelve years with transportation consulting firms.
Mike Robertson
Mike started a small consulting firm in 2007 with a primary goal to help improve delivery of transportation infrastructure projects using alternative delivery methods. In 2018 he and CocoConsult began a collaborative team to improve our work.
Our work most often involves a role acting as an effective bridge to close the distance between the owners, designers and builders. This bridge relies on our ability as a team to create a collaborative environment, which we believe provides stronger solutions and better projects.
Since 2007, we have assisted Flatiron, the Utah Department of Transportation, Utah Transit Authority, Caltrans, the City of Seattle, Sound Transit, the City of Los Angeles, Valley Metro Rail, AECOM, HDR, Parsons Brinckerhoff, Kiewit, Stacy and Witbeck, Herzog, Skanska, Fluor, Middlesex, and MBTA on 30+ projects using either some form of Design/Build or CM/GC with constructed values of roughly $30B.
The work has included program management assistance, railway coordination, coordination with design and construction, procurement planning, DRB and Partnering, Risk Assessment/Management and Value Engineering exercises
