Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes of Tetra Tech, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our” or "Tetra Tech") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements and, therefore, should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018 . These financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are considered necessary for a fair statement of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations and cash flows for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year or for future years. Certain reclassifications were made to the prior year to conform to current year presentation. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09 ("ASC 606"), "Revenue from Contracts with Customers", which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The guidance and the related ASUs were effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 (first quarter of fiscal 2019 for us). On October 1, 2018, we adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method in which the new guidance was applied retrospectively to contracts that were not substantially completed as of the date of adoption. Results for the reporting period beginning after October 1, 2018 have been presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts have not been adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the previous guidance. See Note 3 , " Revenue Recognition " for further discussion of the adoption and the impact on our consolidated financial statements. |

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract] | |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In January 2016, the FASB issued guidance that generally requires companies to measure investments in other entities, except those accounted for under the equity method, at fair value and recognize any changes in fair value in net income. The guidance was effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017 (first quarter of fiscal 2019 for us). The adoption of this guidance had no impact on our consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued updated guidance which requires excess tax benefits and deficiencies on share-based payments to be recorded as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement rather than being recorded in additional paid-in capital. It also requires the presentation of employee taxes as financing activities on consolidated statements of cash flows, which was previously classified as operating activities. This guidance was effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 (first quarter of fiscal 2018 for us), with early adoption permitted. In the first quarter of fiscal 2017, we adopted this guidance. At the beginning of fiscal 2019, we revised the presentation of "Net cash provided by operating activities" and "Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities" in the consolidated statement of cash flows for prior period to correct the presentation of “Taxes paid on vested restricted stock” and appropriately reflect such amounts as financing activities. The correction resulted in an increase of net cash provided by operating activities of $8.8 million and a decrease of net cash provided by financing activities of $8.8 million for the nine months ended July 1, 2018. We assessed the materiality of these errors on our consolidated financial statements for prior periods and concluded that the amounts were not material to any prior interim or annual periods. We elected to revise the presentation for comparability purposes. In August 2016, the FASB issued guidance to address eight specific cash flow issues to reduce the existing diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The guidance was effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017 (first quarter of fiscal 2019 for us). The adoption of this guidance had no material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In October 2016, the FASB issued updated guidance which requires entities to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The guidance was effective for fiscal reporting periods and interim reporting periods within those fiscal reporting periods, beginning after December 15, 2017 (first quarter of fiscal 2019 for us). The adoption of this guidance had no material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In November 2016, the FASB issued updated guidance which provides amendments to address the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. The guidance was effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017 (first quarter of fiscal 2019 for us). The adoption of this guidance had no material impact on our consolidated financial statements. We updated certain captions in our consolidated statements of cash flows to include restricted cash, which is reported in our "Prepaid expenses and other current assets" on the consolidated balance sheets. In May 2017, the FASB issued updated guidance to clarify when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as modifications. Under the updated guidance, modification accounting is required only if the fair value, the vesting conditions, or the classification of the award changes because of a change in terms or conditions. The guidance was effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017 (first quarter of fiscal 2019 for us), on a prospective basis. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on our consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) published Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification, which adopted amendments to certain disclosure requirements that have become redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated or superseded, considering other SEC disclosure requirements, U.S. GAAP, or changes in the information environment. While most of the amendments eliminate outdated or duplicative disclosure requirements, the final rule amends the interim financial statement requirements to include a reconciliation of changes in stockholders’ equity in the notes or as a separate statement for each period for which a statement of comprehensive income is required to be filed. The new interim reconciliation of changes in stockholders’ equity is included herein as a separate statement. Additionally, we removed the disclosure on cash dividends paid per share from our consolidated statements of income. Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance that requires the rights and obligations associated with leasing arrangements be reflected on the balance sheet to increase transparency and comparability among organizations. Under the guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a liability to make lease payments and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018 (first quarter of fiscal 2020 for us). Early adoption is permitted, and the standard must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach. In July 2018, the FASB issued updated guidance, which provides entities with an additional transition method to adopt the lease accounting guidance. Under the new transition method, an entity initially applies the new standard at the adoption date, versus at the beginning of the earliest period presented, and recognizes a cumulative-effective adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption, if any. While we are currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements, we currently expect that the adoption of the new guidance will result in a significant increase in the assets and liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets and will likely have no impact on our consolidated statements of income and cash flows. In June 2016, the FASB issued updated guidance which requires entities to estimate all expected credit losses for certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables, held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The updated guidance also expands the disclosure requirements to enable users of financial statements to understand the entity’s assumptions, models and methods for estimating expected credit losses. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019 (first quarter of fiscal 2021 for us). Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements. In August 2017, the FASB issued accounting guidance on hedging activities. The amendment better aligns an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. The guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018 (first quarter of fiscal 2020 for us). Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements. In February 2018, the FASB issued guidance on reclassification of certain tax effects from accumulated comprehensive income, which allows for a reclassification of stranded tax effects from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA") from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 (first quarter of fiscal 2020 for us). We are currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements. |

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition On October 1, 2018, we adopted ASC 606, which supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. We adopted the standard on a modified retrospective basis which results in no restatement of the comparative periods presented and a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the date of adoption. As part of our adoption, the new standard was applied only to those contracts that were not substantially completed as of the date of adoption. To determine the proper revenue recognition method for contracts under ASC 606, we evaluate whether multiple contracts should be combined and accounted for as a single contract and whether the combined or single contract should be accounted for as having more than one performance obligation. The decision to combine a group of contracts or separate a combined or single contract into multiple performance obligations may impact the amount of revenue recorded in a given period. Contracts are considered to have a single performance obligation if the promises are not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts. At contract inception, we assess the goods or services promised in a contract and identify, as a separate performance obligation, each distinct promise to transfer goods or services to the customer. The identified performance obligations represent the “unit of account” for purposes of determining revenue recognition. In order to properly identify separate performance obligations, we apply judgment in determining whether each good or service provided is: (a) capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer, and (b) distinct within the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. Contracts are often modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements. We consider contract modifications to exist when the modification either creates new or changes the existing enforceable rights and obligations. Most of our contract modifications are for goods or services that are not distinct from existing contracts due to the significant integration provided or significant interdependencies in the context of the contract and are accounted for as if they were part of the original contract. The effect of a contract modification on the transaction price and our measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates, is recognized as an adjustment to revenue (either as an increase in or a reduction of revenue) on a cumulative catch-up basis. We account for contract modifications as a separate contract when the modification results in the promise to deliver additional goods or services that are distinct and the increase in price of the contract is for the same amount as the stand-alone selling price of the additional goods or services included in the modification. The transaction price represents the amount of consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to our customers. The consideration promised within a contract may include fixed amounts, variable amounts, or both. The nature of our contracts gives rise to several types of variable consideration, including claims, award fee incentives, fiscal funding clauses, and liquidated damages. We recognize revenue for variable consideration when it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized for the contract will not occur. We estimate the amount of revenue to be recognized on variable consideration using either the expected value or the most likely amount method, whichever is expected to better predict the amount of consideration to be received. Project mobilization costs are generally charged to project costs as incurred when they are an integrated part of the performance obligation being transferred to the client. Claims are amounts in excess of agreed contract prices that we seek to collect from our clients or other third parties for delays, errors in specifications and designs, contract terminations, change orders in dispute or unapproved as to both scope and price, or other causes of unanticipated additional costs. Revenue on claims is recognized only to the extent that contract costs related to the claims have been incurred and when it is probable that any significant revenue recognized related to the claim will not be reversed. Factors considered in determining whether revenue associated with claims (including change orders in dispute and unapproved change orders in regard to both scope and price) should be recognized include the following: (a) the contract or other evidence provides a legal basis for the claim, (b) additional costs were caused by circumstances that were unforeseen at the contract date and not the result of deficiencies in our performance, (c) claim-related costs are identifiable and considered reasonable in view of the work performed, and (d) evidence supporting the claim is objective and verifiable. This can lead to a situation in which costs are recognized in one period and revenue is recognized in a subsequent period when a client agreement is obtained, or a claims resolution occurs. In some cases, contract retentions are withheld by clients until certain conditions are met or the project is completed, which may be several months or years. In these cases, we have not identified a significant financing component under ASC 606 as the timing difference in payment compared to delivery of obligations under the contract is not for purposes of financing. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, we allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation using a best estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract. The standalone selling price is typically determined using the estimated cost of the contract plus a margin approach. For contracts containing variable consideration, we allocate the variability to a specific performance obligation within the contract if such variability relates specifically to our efforts to satisfy the performance obligation or transfer the distinct good or service, and the allocation depicts the amount of consideration to which we expect to be entitled. We recognize revenue over time as the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of a promised good or service to our customers. Progress toward complete satisfaction of the performance obligation is primarily measured using a cost-to-cost measure of progress method. The cost input is based primarily on contract cost incurred to date compared to total estimated contract cost. This measure includes forecasts based on the best information available and reflects our judgment to faithfully depict the value of the services transferred to the customer. For certain on-call engineering or consulting and similar contracts, we recognize revenue in the amount which we have the right to invoice the customer if that amount corresponds directly with the value of our performance completed to date. Due to uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, it is possible that estimates of costs to complete a performance obligation will be revised in the near-term. For those performance obligations for which revenue is recognized using a cost-to-cost measure of progress method, changes in total estimated costs, and related progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation, are recognized on a cumulative catch-up basis in the period in which the revisions to the estimates are made. When the current estimate of total costs indicates a loss, a provision for the entire estimated loss on the contract is made in the period in which the loss becomes evident. Contract Types Our services are performed under three principal types of contracts: fixed-price, time-and-materials and cost-plus. Customer payments on contracts are typically due within 60 days of billing, depending on the contract. Fixed-Price . Under fixed-price contracts, clients pay us an agreed fixed-amount negotiated in advance for a specified scope of work. Time-and-Materials . Under time-and-materials contracts, we negotiate hourly billing rates and charge our clients based on the actual time that we spend on a project. In addition, clients reimburse us for our actual out-of-pocket costs for materials and other direct incidental expenditures that we incur in connection with our performance under the contract. Most of our time-and-material contracts are subject to maximum contract values, and also may include annual billing rate adjustment provisions. Cost-Plus . Under cost-plus contracts, we are reimbursed for allowed or otherwise defined costs incurred plus a negotiated fee. The contracts may also include incentives for various performance criteria, including quality, timeliness, ingenuity, safety and cost-effectiveness. In addition, our costs are generally subject to review by our clients and regulatory audit agencies, and such reviews could result in costs being disputed as non-reimbursable under the terms of the contract. Adoption Upon adoption on October 1, 2018, under the modified retrospective method, we recorded a cumulative effect adjustment to decrease retained earnings by $2.8 million on October 1, 2018, as well as the following cumulative effect adjustments: • A decrease to contract assets of $5.0 million • A decrease to contract liabilities of $1.1 million • An increase to deferred tax assets of $1.1 million The decrease in retained earnings primarily resulted from a change in the way we determine the unit of account for projects (i.e. performance obligations). Under previous guidance, we typically accounted for a contract as a single unit of revenue recognition. Upon adoption of ASC 606, we assess the nature of the promises in the contract and recognize revenue based on performance obligations within the respective contract or combined contract. The following table presents how the adoption of ASC 606 affected certain line items in our consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 : Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended Recognition Under Previous Guidance Impact of the Adoption of ASC 606 Recognition Under ASC 606 Recognition Under Previous Guidance Impact of the Adoption of ASC 606 Recognition Under ASC 606 (in thousands) Revenue $ 826,292 $ (499 ) $ 825,793 $ 2,265,186 $ 660 $ 2,265,846 Income from operations 65,340 (499 ) 64,841 167,437 660 168,097 Income tax expense (12,142 ) 98 (12,044 ) (11,081 ) (182 ) (11,263 ) Net income attributable to Tetra Tech 49,634 (401 ) 49,233 146,663 478 147,141 The following table presents how the adoption of ASC 606 affected certain line items in our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2019 : Recognition Under Previous Guidance Impact of the Adoption of ASC 606 Recognition Under ASC 606 (in thousands) Assets Accounts receivable - net $ 737,107 $ (8,108 ) $ 728,999 Contract assets (1) 147,947 (2,275 ) 145,672 Deferred tax assets 29,452 1,120 30,572 Liabilities and equity Contract liabilities (2) $ 154,704 $ (7,155 ) $ 147,549 Income taxes payable (126 ) 182 56 Equity (3) Retained earnings $ 1,070,140 $ (2,289 ) $ 1,067,851 (1) Previously included in "Account receivable - net". (2) Previously presented as "Billings in excess of costs on uncompleted contracts". (3) Includes $2.8 million of cumulative catch-up adjustment to retained earnings on October 1, 2018 upon adoption of ASC 606. The following table presents how the adoption of ASC 606 affected certain line items in our consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 : Recognition Under Previous Guidance Impact of the Adoption of ASC 606 Recognition Under ASC 606 (in thousands) Cash flows from operating activities: Net income $ 146,749 $ 478 $ 147,227 Accounts receivable and contract assets (54,018 ) 12,719 (41,299 ) Contract liabilities 11,433 (13,379 ) (1,946 ) Income taxes receivable/payable (5,095 ) 182 (4,913 ) Net cash provided by operating activities 113,385 — 113,385 Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities We invoice customers based on the contractual terms of each contract. However, the timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoice issuance. As part of the adoption of ASC 606, contract assets have been bifurcated from billed and unbilled receivables. Contract assets represent revenue recognized in excess of the amounts for which we have the contractual right to bill our customers. Such amounts are recoverable from customers based upon various measures of performance, including achievement of certain milestones or completion of a contract. In addition, many of our time and materials arrangements are billed in arrears pursuant to contract terms that are standard within the industry, resulting in contract assets and/or unbilled receivables being recorded, as revenue is recognized in advance of billings. Contract liabilities consist of billings in excess of revenue recognized. Contract liabilities decrease as we recognize revenue from the satisfaction of the related performance obligation and increase as billings in advance of revenue recognition occur. Contract assets and liabilities are reported in a net position on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. There were no substantial non-current contract assets or liabilities for the periods presented. Net contract liabilities/assets consisted of the following: Balance at June 30, September 30, 2018 (in thousands) Contract assets $ 145,672 $ 142,882 Contract liabilities 147,549 143,270 Net contract liabilities $ (1,877 ) $ (388 ) We recognized $83.7 million of revenue during the first nine months of fiscal 2019 that was included in contract liabilities as of September 30, 2018. The amount of revenue recognized from changes in transaction price associated with performance obligations satisfied in prior periods during the first nine months of fiscal 2019 was not material. The change in transaction price primarily relates to reimbursement of costs incurred in prior periods. We recognize revenue from contracts primarily utilizing the cost-to-cost measure of progress method, to estimate the progress towards completion to determine the amount of revenue and profit to recognize. Changes in those estimates could result in the recognition of cumulative catch-up adjustments to the contract’s inception-to-date revenue, costs and profit in the period in which such changes are made. As a result, we recognized net favorable operating income adjustments of $8.2 million and $5.0 million for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019 , respectively, compared to net unfavorable operating income adjustments of $1.0 million and $2.4 million for the prior-year periods. Changes in revenue and cost estimates could also result in a projected loss, determined at the contract level, which would be recorded immediately in earnings. As of June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 , our consolidated balance sheets included liabilities for anticipated losses of $11.9 million and $13.6 million , respectively. The estimated cost to complete the related contracts as of June 30, 2019 was $15.4 million . Disaggregation of Revenue We disaggregate revenue by client sector and contract type, as we believe it best depicts how the nature, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. The following tables provide information about disaggregated revenue and a reconciliation of the disaggregated revenue: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended June 30, July 1, June 30, July 1, Client Sector U.S. state and local government $ 172,148 $ 103,169 $ 425,296 $ 359,828 U.S. federal government (1) 245,723 245,982 686,979 719,181 U.S. commercial 194,980 208,507 533,738 595,691 International (2) 212,942 207,137 619,833 550,105 Total $ 825,793 $ 764,795 $ 2,265,846 $ 2,224,805 (1) Includes revenue generated under U.S. federal government contracts performed outside the United States. (2) Includes revenue generated from foreign operations, primarily in Canada and Australia, and revenue generated from non-U.S. clients. Other than the U.S. federal government, no single client accounted for more than 10% of our revenue for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 and July 1, 2018 . Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended June 30, July 1, June 30, July 1, (in thousands) Contract Type Fixed-price $ 271,287 $ 270,565 $ 760,051 $ 730,863 Time-and-materials 419,564 351,436 1,101,728 1,061,798 Cost-plus 134,942 142,794 404,067 432,144 Total $ 825,793 $ 764,795 $ 2,265,846 $ 2,224,805 Remaining Unsatisfied Performance Obligations (“RUPOs”) Our RUPOs represent a measure of the total dollar value of work to be performed on contracts awarded and in progress. We had $2.8 billion of RUPOs as of June 30, 2019 . RUPOs increase with awards from new contracts or additions on existing contracts and decrease as work is performed and revenue is recognized on existing contracts. RUPOs may also decrease when projects are canceled or modified in scope. We include a contract within our RUPOs when the contract is awarded and an agreement on contract terms has been reached. We expect to satisfy our RUPOs as of June 30, 2019 over the following periods: Amount (in thousands) Within 12 months $ 1,785,894 Beyond 1,035,738 Total $ 2,821,632 Although RUPOs reflect business that is considered to be firm, cancellations, deferrals or scope adjustments may occur. RUPOs are adjusted to reflect any known project cancellations, revisions to project scope and cost, foreign currency exchange fluctuations and project deferrals, as appropriate. Our operations and maintenance contracts can generally be terminated by the clients without a substantive financial penalty. Therefore, the remaining performance obligations on such contracts are limited to the notice period required for the termination (usually 30, 60, or 90 days). |

Receivables [Abstract] | |
Accounts Receivable - Net | Accounts Receivable - Net Net accounts receivable consisted of the following: June 30, September 30, (in thousands) Billed $ 486,074 $ 464,062 Unbilled 293,447 267,739 Total accounts receivable – gross 779,521 731,801 Allowance for doubtful accounts (50,522 ) (37,580 ) Total accounts receivable – net $ 728,999 $ 694,221 Billed accounts receivable represent amounts billed to clients that have not been collected. Unbilled accounts receivable, which represent an unconditional right to payment subject only to the passage of time, include unbilled amounts typically resulting from revenue recognized but not yet billed pursuant to contract terms or billed after the period end date. Most of our unbilled receivables at June 30, 2019 are expected to be billed and collected within 12 months . The allowance for doubtful accounts represents amounts that are expected to become uncollectible or unrealizable in the future. We determine an estimated allowance for uncollectible accounts based on management's consideration of trends in the actual and forecasted credit quality of our clients, including delinquency and payment history; type of client, such as a government agency or a commercial sector client; and general economic and industry conditions that may affect a client's ability to pay. Once contract performance is underway, we may experience changes in conditions, client requirements, specifications, designs, materials and expectations regarding the period of performance. Such changes result in change orders and may be initiated by us or by our clients. In many cases, agreement with the client as to the terms of change orders is reached prior to work commencing; however, sometimes circumstances require that work progress without a definitive client agreement. Revenue and any corresponding receivable in these cases are recognized based on the policy described in Note 3 , " Revenue Recognition " above. The total accounts receivable at both June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 included approximately $50 million and $74 million , respectively, related to claims, including requests for equitable adjustment, on contracts that provide for price redetermination. We regularly evaluate all unsettled claim amounts and record appropriate adjustments to operating earnings when it is probable that the claim will result in a different contract value than the amount previously estimated. In the third quarter of fiscal 2019, we recognized reductions of revenue and related losses in operating income of $0.6 million in our Commercial/International Services Group ("CIG") segment. In the first nine months of fiscal 2019 , we recognized reductions of revenue of $4.8 million and $4.2 million and related losses in operating income of $5.9 million and $4.2 million in our Remediation and Construction Management ("RCM") and CIG segments, respectively. We recorded no material gains or losses related to claims in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 . On U.S. federal government contracts, billed accounts receivable were $74.1 million and $81.5 million at June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 , respectively. The total of unbilled receivables and contract assets were $101.2 million and $102.7 million at June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 , respectively. Other than the U.S. federal, state and local governments, no single client accounted for more than 10% of our accounts receivable at June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 . |

Business Combinations [Abstract] | |
Acquisitions and Divestitures | Acquisitions and Divestitures On May 20, 2019, we announced our intent to make an all cash offer to acquire all the outstanding shares of WYG plc ("WYG"), a publicly traded company on the London Stock Exchange for 55 pence per share, which was unanimously recommended by its board. WYG employs approximately 1,600 staff primarily in the United Kingdom and Europe, delivering consulting and engineering solutions for complex projects across key service areas including planning, water and environment, transport, infrastructure, the built environment, architecture, urban design, surveying, asset management, program management, and international development. The transaction was to be affected using a court sanctioned scheme of arrangement between WYG and its shareholders, and was subject to certain regulatory approvals, and approval by WYG shareholders. In connection with this transaction, we funded $55 million to an escrow account to be used for the purchase of the outstanding shares of WYG, and recorded it to restricted cash, which is part of "Prepaid expenses and other current assets" on our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2019. Subsequent Event. On July 5, 2019, the court sanctioned scheme of arrangement between WYG and its shareholders was approved, with the acquisition being effective July 9, 2019. The aforementioned $55 million of restricted cash established for the acquisition of WYG was released to the WYG shareholders in July 2019. We also assumed WYG net debt of $12 million at closing for total consideration of approximately $67 million . Since WYG was a public company, this acquisition did not include an earn-out. At the end of second quarter of fiscal 2019 , we acquired eGlobalTech ("EGT"), a high-end information technology solutions, cloud migration, cybersecurity, and management consulting firm based in Arlington, Virginia. EGT is part of our Government Services Group ("GSG") segment. The fair value of the purchase price was $48.4 million . This amount was comprised of a $ 24.7 million promissory note issued to the sellers (which was subsequently paid in full in the third quarter of fiscal 2019), $2.6 million of payables related to estimated post-closing adjustments for net assets acquired, and $21.1 million for the estimated fair value of contingent earn-out obligations, with a maximum of $25.0 million , based upon the achievement of specified operating income targets in each of the three years following the acquisition. We also completed a small acquisition in the third quarter of fiscal 2019. In the first quarter of fiscal 2018 , we acquired Glumac, headquartered in Portland, Oregon. Glumac is a leader in sustainable infrastructure design with more than 300 employees and is part of our GSG segment. The fair value of the purchase price for Glumac was $38.4 million . This amount was comprised of $20.0 million of initial cash payments made to the sellers and $18.4 million for the estimated fair value of contingent earn-out obligations, with a maximum of $20.0 million payable, based upon the achievement of specified operating income targets in each of the three years following the acquisition. In the second quarter of fiscal 2018 , we completed the acquisition of Norman Disney & Young (“NDY”), a leader in sustainable infrastructure engineering design. NDY is an Australian-based global engineering design firm with more than 700 professionals operating in offices throughout Australia, the Asia-Pacific region, the United Kingdom, and Canada and is part of our CIG segment. The fair value of the purchase price for NDY was $56.1 million . This amount was comprised of $46.9 million of initial cash payments made to the sellers, $1.6 million held in escrow, and $7.6 million for the estimated fair value of contingent earn-out obligations, with a maximum amount of $20.2 million , based upon the achievement of specified operating income targets in each of the three years following the acquisition. In the third quarter of fiscal 2018 , we divested our non-core utility field services operations in the CIG segment for net proceeds after transaction costs of $30.2 million . This operation generated approximately $70 million in annual revenue primarily from our U.S. commercial clients. These non-core divestitures resulted in a pre-tax loss of $1.7 million , which was included in "Selling, general and administrative expenses" ("SG&A") in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 . Goodwill additions resulting from the above business combinations are primarily attributable to the existing workforce of the acquired companies and the synergies expected to arise after the acquisitions. The goodwill addition related to our fiscal 2018 acquisitions primarily represent the value of a workforce with distinct expertise in the sustainable infrastructure design market. The fiscal 2019 goodwill addition represents the value of a workforce with emerging technology and new techniques that incorporate artificial intelligence, data analytics and advanced cybersecurity solutions for government and commercial clients. In addition, these acquired capabilities, when combined with our existing global consulting and engineering business, result in opportunities that allow us to provide services under contracts that could not have been pursued individually by either us or the acquired companies. The results of these acquisitions were included in our consolidated financial statements from their respective closing dates. These acquisitions were not considered material to our consolidated financial statements. As a result, no pro forma information has been provided. Backlog, client relations and trade name intangible assets include the fair value of existing contracts and the underlying customer relationships with lives ranging from 1 to 10 years , and trade names with lives ranging from 3 to 5 years . For detailed information regarding our intangible assets, see Note 6 , “ Goodwill and Intangible Assets ”. Most of our acquisition agreements include contingent earn-out agreements, which are generally based on the achievement of future operating income thresholds. The contingent earn-out arrangements are based on our valuations of the acquired companies and reduce the risk of overpaying for acquisitions if the projected financial results are not achieved. The fair values of any earn-out arrangements are included as part of the purchase price of the acquired companies on their respective acquisition dates. For each transaction, we estimate the fair value of contingent earn-out payments as part of the initial purchase price and record the estimated fair value of contingent consideration as a liability in “Current contingent earn-out liabilities” and “Long-term contingent earn-out liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheets. We consider several factors when determining that contingent earn-out liabilities are part of the purchase price, including the following: (1) the valuation of our acquisitions is not supported solely by the initial consideration paid, and the contingent earn-out formula is a critical and material component of the valuation approach to determining the purchase price; and (2) the former owners of acquired companies that remain as key employees receive compensation other than contingent earn-out payments at a reasonable level compared with the compensation of our other key employees. The contingent earn-out payments are not affected by employment termination. We measure our contingent earn-out liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. We use a probability-weighted discounted income approach as a valuation technique to convert future estimated cash flows to a single present value amount. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements are operating income projections over the earn-out period (generally two or three years ), and the probability outcome percentages we assign to each scenario. Significant increases or decreases to either of these inputs in isolation would result in a significantly higher or lower liability, with a higher liability capped by the contractual maximum of the contingent earn-out obligation. Ultimately, the liability will be equivalent to the amount paid, and the difference between the fair value estimate and amount paid will be recorded in earnings. The amount paid that is less than or equal to the contingent earn-out liability on the acquisition date is reflected as cash used in financing activities in our consolidated statements of cash flows. Any amount paid in excess of the contingent earn-out liability on the acquisition date is reflected as cash used in operating activities in our consolidated statement of cash flows. We review and re-assess the estimated fair value of contingent consideration on a quarterly basis, and the updated fair value could differ materially from the initial estimates. Changes in the estimated fair value of our contingent earn-out liabilities related to the time component of the present value calculation are reported in interest expense. Adjustments to the estimated fair value related to changes in all other unobservable inputs are reported in operating income. During the first nine months of fiscal 2019 , we recorded an immaterial adjustment related to our contingent earn-out liabilities and reported the related loss in operating income. For the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2018 (substantially all in the second quarter), we recorded increases in our contingent earn-out liabilities related to Eco Logical Australia and Cornerstone Environmental Group and reported related losses in operating income totaling $0.2 million and $2.1 million , respectively. At June 30, 2019 , there was a total potential maximum of $74.1 million of outstanding contingent consideration related to acquisitions. Of this amount, $52.3 million was estimated as the fair value and accrued on our consolidated balance sheet. |

Goodwill and Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Intangible Assets The following table summarizes the changes in the carrying value of goodwill: GSG CIG Total (in thousands) Balance at September 30, 2018 $ 389,741 $ 409,079 $ 798,820 Acquisition activity 38,680 20,078 58,758 Translation and other (581 ) (5,376 ) (5,957 ) Balance at June 30, 2019 $ 427,840 $ 423,781 $ 851,621 During the first nine months of fiscal 2019, we recorded goodwill additions as a result of our recent acquisitions. The purchase price allocation for these acquisitions are preliminary and subject to adjustment based upon the final determination of the net assets acquired and information to perform the final valuation. Our goodwill was impacted by foreign currency translation related to our foreign subsidiaries with functional currencies that are different than our reporting currency. The goodwill amounts above are presented net of any reductions from historical impairment adjustments. The gross amounts of goodwill for GSG were $445.5 million and $407.4 million at June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 , respectively, excluding $17.7 million of accumulated impairment. The gross amounts of goodwill for CIG were $521.7 million and $507.0 million at June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 , respectively, excluding $97.9 million of accumulated impairment. We perform our annual goodwill impairment review at the beginning of our fiscal fourth quarter. Our most recent annual review at July 2, 2018 (i.e. the first day of our fourth quarter in fiscal 2018 ) indicated that we had no impairment of goodwill, and all of our reporting units had estimated fair values that exceeded their carrying values, including goodwill, by more than 30% . We regularly evaluate whether events and circumstances have occurred that may indicate a potential change in the recoverability of goodwill. We perform interim goodwill impairment reviews between our annual reviews if certain events and circumstances have occurred, such as a deterioration in general economic conditions; an increase in the competitive environment; a change in management, key personnel, strategy, or customers; negative or declining cash flows; or a decline in actual or planned revenue or earnings compared with actual and projected results of relevant prior periods. We estimate the fair value of all reporting units with a goodwill balance based on a comparison and weighting of the income approach (weighted 70% ), specifically the discounted cash flow method, and the market approach (weighted 30% ), which estimates the fair value of our reporting units based upon comparable market prices and recent transactions, and also validates the reasonableness of the multiples from the income approach. The resulting fair value is most sensitive to the assumptions we use in our discounted cash flow analysis. The assumptions that have the most significant impact on the fair value calculation are the reporting unit’s revenue growth rate and operating profit margin, and the discount rate used to convert future estimated cash flows to a single present value amount. The gross amount and accumulated amortization of our acquired identifiable intangible assets with finite useful lives included in “Intangible assets - net” on our consolidated balance sheets, were as follows: June 30, 2019 September 30, 2018 Weighted- Average Remaining Life (in Years) Gross Amount Accumulated Amortization Gross Amount Accumulated Amortization ($ in thousands) Non-compete agreements — $ — $ — $ 83 $ (83 ) Client relations 2.5 54,483 (49,791 ) 54,639 (46,449 ) Backlog 0.7 26,075 (23,623 ) 23,371 (20,007 ) Trade names 2.6 7,956 (4,662 ) 8,144 (3,575 ) Total $ 88,514 $ (78,076 ) $ 86,237 $ (70,114 ) Amortization expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 was $2.4 million and $ 8.6 million , respectively, compared to $5.2 million and $14.9 million for the prior-year periods.

Stock Repurchase and Dividends | Stock Repurchase and Dividends On November 5, 2018, the Board of Directors authorized a new stock repurchase program under which we could repurchase up to $200 million of our common stock in addition to the $25 million remaining under the previous stock repurchase program. In the first quarter of fiscal 2019 , we expended the remaining $25 million under the previous program by repurchasing 430,559 shares through open market purchases at an average price of $58.06 . In fiscal 2018 , we repurchased through open market purchases under the previous program a total of 1,491,569 shares at an average price of $50.28 for a total cost of $75 million . In the second and third quarters of fiscal 2019 , we repurchased through open market purchases under the new program a total of 824,969 shares at an average price of $60.61 for a total cost of $50 million .

Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract] | |
Stockholders' Equity and Stock Compensation Plans | Stockholders’ Equity and Stock Compensation Plans We recognize the fair value of our stock-based awards as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period in which the award vests. Stock-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 was $ 4.1 million and $12.7 million , respectively, compared to $ 6.8 million and $15.5 million for the same periods last year. Most of these amounts were included in SG&A in our consolidated statements of income. There were no material stock compensation awards in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 . In the first nine months of fiscal 2019 , we awarded 89,816 performance share units (“PSUs”) to our non-employee directors and executive officers at a fair value of $80.41 per share on the award date. All of the PSUs are performance-based and vest, if at all, after the conclusion of the three -year performance period. The number of PSUs that ultimately vest is based 50% on the growth in our diluted earnings per share and 50% on our total shareholder return relative to a peer group of companies and a stock market index over the vesting period. Additionally, we awarded 177,478 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to our non-employee directors, executive officers and employees at the fair value of $66.10 per share on the award date. All executive officer and employee RSUs have time-based vesting over a four -year period, and the non-employee director RSUs vest after one year . |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings per Share (EPS) | Earnings per Share (“EPS”) Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, less unvested restricted stock for the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and dilutive potential common shares for the period. Potential common shares include the weighted-average dilutive effects of outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock using the treasury stock method.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The effective tax rates for the first nine months of fiscal 2019 and 2018 were 7.1% and 20.0% , respectively. The tax rates for fiscal 2019 and 2018 reflect the impact of the comprehensive tax legislation enacted by the U.S. government on December 22, 2017, which is commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA"). The TCJA significantly revised the U.S. corporate income tax regime by, among other things, lowering the U.S. corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, while also repealing the deduction for domestic production activities, limiting the deductibility of certain executive compensation, and implementing a modified territorial tax system with the introduction of the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) tax rules. The TCJA also imposed a one-time transition tax on deemed repatriation of historical earnings of foreign subsidiaries. In the third quarter of fiscal 2019, we finalized our fiscal 2018 U.S. federal tax return and recorded a $2.4 million tax expense with respect to the one-time transition tax on foreign earnings. As we have a September 30 fiscal year-end, our U.S. federal corporate income tax rate was blended in fiscal 2018, resulting in a statutory federal rate of approximately 24.5% (3 months at 35% and 9 months at 21%), and is 21% for fiscal 2019 and subsequent fiscal years. U.S. GAAP requires that the impact of tax legislation be recognized in the period in which the tax law was enacted. As a result of the TCJA, we reduced our deferred tax liabilities and recorded a one-time deferred tax benefit of approximately $10.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 to reflect our estimate of temporary differences in the United States that would be recovered or settled in fiscal 2018 based on the 24.5% blended corporate tax rate or based on the 21% tax rate in fiscal 2019 and beyond versus the previous enacted 35% corporate tax rate. We finalized this analysis in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and recorded an additional deferred tax benefit of $2.6 million . Valuation allowances of $22.3 million in Australia were released due to sufficient positive evidence obtained during the second quarter of fiscal 2019. The valuation allowances were primarily related to net operating loss and R&D credit carryforwards and other temporary differences. We evaluated the positive evidence against any negative evidence and determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. The factors used to assess the likelihood of realization were the past performance of the related entities, our forecast of future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the deferred tax assets. In the third quarter of fiscal 2019, certain state tax examinations were completed that resulted in a $1.0 million tax benefit. Excluding the net deferred tax benefits from the TCJA and the other discrete items described above, our effective tax rate in the first nine months of fiscal 2019 was 23.4% compared to 25.0% in first nine months of fiscal 2018. With respect to the GILTI provisions of the TCJA, we have analyzed our structure and expected global results of operations and do not expect to have any material adjustment related to potential GILTI tax in our consolidated financial statements. The U.S. Department of the Treasury and the IRS have released final, temporary and proposed GILTI regulations in June 2019, which have been considered in our calculations. Because of the complexity of the new GILTI tax rules, we will continue to evaluate the impact of this provision, new Treasury regulations and the application of Accounting Standards Codification 740, Income Taxes. As of June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 , the liability for income taxes associated with uncertain tax positions was $12.3 million and $9.4 million , respectively. These uncertain tax positions substantially relate to ongoing examinations, which are reasonably likely to be resolved within the next 12 months |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Reportable Segments | Reportable Segments We manage our operations under two reportable segments. Our GSG reportable segment primarily includes activities with U.S. government clients (federal, state and local) and all activities with development agencies worldwide. Our CIG reportable segment primarily includes activities with U.S. commercial clients and all international activities other than work for development agencies. Additionally, we continue to report the results of the wind-down of our non-core construction activities in the RCM segment. As of June 30, 2019, there was no remaining backlog for RCM as the projects were complete. GSG provides consulting and engineering services primarily to U.S. government clients (federal, state and local) and development agencies worldwide. GSG supports U.S. government civilian and defense agencies with services in water, environment, infrastructure, information technology, and disaster response and recovery planning services. GSG also provides engineering design services for municipal and commercial clients, especially in water infrastructure, solid waste, and high-end sustainable infrastructure designs. GSG also leads our support for development agencies worldwide, especially in the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia. CIG provides consulting and engineering services primarily to U.S. commercial clients and international clients, both commercial and government. CIG supports commercial clients across the Fortune 500, oil and gas, energy utilities, manufacturing, aerospace, and mining markets. CIG also provides infrastructure and related environmental and geotechnical services, testing, engineering and project management services to commercial and local government clients across Canada, in Asia Pacific (primarily Australia and New Zealand), as well as Brazil and Chile. Management evaluates the performance of these reportable segments based upon their respective segment operating income before the effect of amortization expense related to acquisitions, and other unallocated corporate expenses. We account for inter-segment revenues and transfers as if they were to third parties; that is, by applying a negotiated fee onto the costs of the services performed. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivative Financial Instruments | Derivative Financial Instruments We use certain interest rate derivative contracts to hedge interest rate exposures on our variable rate debt. We enter into foreign currency derivative contracts with financial institutions to reduce the risk that cash flows and earnings will be adversely affected by foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Our hedging program is not designated for trading or speculative purposes. We recognize derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at fair value. We record changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of the derivatives that have been designated as cash flow hedges in our consolidated balance sheets as accumulated other comprehensive income, and in our consolidated statements of income for those derivatives designated as fair value hedges. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 , we entered into five interest rate swap agreements that we designated as cash flow hedges to fix the interest rate on the borrowings under our term loan facility. As of June 30, 2019 , the notional principal of our outstanding interest swap agreements was $240.6 million . The interest rate swaps have a fixed interest rate of 2.79% and expire in July 2023. At June 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, the fair value of the effective portion of our interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges before tax effect was $ (9.8) million and $1.3 million , respectively, of which we expect to reclassify $2.2 million from accumulated other comprehensive income to interest expense within the next twelve months. The fair values of our outstanding derivatives designated as hedging instruments were as follows: Fair Value of Derivative Instruments as of Balance Sheet Location June 30, 2019 September 30, 2018 (in thousands) Interest rate swap agreements Other current (liabilities) assets $ (9,820 ) $ 1,244 The impact of the effective portions of derivative instruments in cash flow hedging relationships and fair value relationships on other comprehensive loss was $11.1 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2019 and was immaterial for the same period last year. Additionally, there were no ineffective portions of derivative instruments. Accordingly, no amounts were excluded from effectiveness testing for our interest rate swap agreements. |

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract] | |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In January 2016, the FASB issued guidance that generally requires companies to measure investments in other entities, except those accounted for under the equity method, at fair value and recognize any changes in fair value in net income. The guidance was effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017 (first quarter of fiscal 2019 for us). The adoption of this guidance had no impact on our consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued updated guidance which requires excess tax benefits and deficiencies on share-based payments to be recorded as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement rather than being recorded in additional paid-in capital. It also requires the presentation of employee taxes as financing activities on consolidated statements of cash flows, which was previously classified as operating activities. This guidance was effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 (first quarter of fiscal 2018 for us), with early adoption permitted. In the first quarter of fiscal 2017, we adopted this guidance. At the beginning of fiscal 2019, we revised the presentation of "Net cash provided by operating activities" and "Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities" in the consolidated statement of cash flows for prior period to correct the presentation of “Taxes paid on vested restricted stock” and appropriately reflect such amounts as financing activities. The correction resulted in an increase of net cash provided by operating activities of $8.8 million and a decrease of net cash provided by financing activities of $8.8 million for the nine months ended July 1, 2018. We assessed the materiality of these errors on our consolidated financial statements for prior periods and concluded that the amounts were not material to any prior interim or annual periods. We elected to revise the presentation for comparability purposes. In August 2016, the FASB issued guidance to address eight specific cash flow issues to reduce the existing diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The guidance was effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017 (first quarter of fiscal 2019 for us). The adoption of this guidance had no material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In October 2016, the FASB issued updated guidance which requires entities to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The guidance was effective for fiscal reporting periods and interim reporting periods within those fiscal reporting periods, beginning after December 15, 2017 (first quarter of fiscal 2019 for us). The adoption of this guidance had no material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In November 2016, the FASB issued updated guidance which provides amendments to address the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. The guidance was effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017 (first quarter of fiscal 2019 for us). The adoption of this guidance had no material impact on our consolidated financial statements. We updated certain captions in our consolidated statements of cash flows to include restricted cash, which is reported in our "Prepaid expenses and other current assets" on the consolidated balance sheets. In May 2017, the FASB issued updated guidance to clarify when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as modifications. Under the updated guidance, modification accounting is required only if the fair value, the vesting conditions, or the classification of the award changes because of a change in terms or conditions. The guidance was effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017 (first quarter of fiscal 2019 for us), on a prospective basis. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on our consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) published Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification, which adopted amendments to certain disclosure requirements that have become redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated or superseded, considering other SEC disclosure requirements, U.S. GAAP, or changes in the information environment. While most of the amendments eliminate outdated or duplicative disclosure requirements, the final rule amends the interim financial statement requirements to include a reconciliation of changes in stockholders’ equity in the notes or as a separate statement for each period for which a statement of comprehensive income is required to be filed. The new interim reconciliation of changes in stockholders’ equity is included herein as a separate statement. Additionally, we removed the disclosure on cash dividends paid per share from our consolidated statements of income. Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance that requires the rights and obligations associated with leasing arrangements be reflected on the balance sheet to increase transparency and comparability among organizations. Under the guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a liability to make lease payments and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018 (first quarter of fiscal 2020 for us). Early adoption is permitted, and the standard must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach. In July 2018, the FASB issued updated guidance, which provides entities with an additional transition method to adopt the lease accounting guidance. Under the new transition method, an entity initially applies the new standard at the adoption date, versus at the beginning of the earliest period presented, and recognizes a cumulative-effective adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption, if any. While we are currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements, we currently expect that the adoption of the new guidance will result in a significant increase in the assets and liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets and will likely have no impact on our consolidated statements of income and cash flows. In June 2016, the FASB issued updated guidance which requires entities to estimate all expected credit losses for certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables, held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The updated guidance also expands the disclosure requirements to enable users of financial statements to understand the entity’s assumptions, models and methods for estimating expected credit losses. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019 (first quarter of fiscal 2021 for us). Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements. In August 2017, the FASB issued accounting guidance on hedging activities. The amendment better aligns an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. The guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018 (first quarter of fiscal 2020 for us). Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements. In February 2018, the FASB issued guidance on reclassification of certain tax effects from accumulated comprehensive income, which allows for a reclassification of stranded tax effects from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("TCJA") from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 (first quarter of fiscal 2020 for us). We are currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements. |
Revenue Recognition | Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities We invoice customers based on the contractual terms of each contract. However, the timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoice issuance. As part of the adoption of ASC 606, contract assets have been bifurcated from billed and unbilled receivables. Contract assets represent revenue recognized in excess of the amounts for which we have the contractual right to bill our customers. Such amounts are recoverable from customers based upon various measures of performance, including achievement of certain milestones or completion of a contract. In addition, many of our time and materials arrangements are billed in arrears pursuant to contract terms that are standard within the industry, resulting in contract assets and/or unbilled receivables being recorded, as revenue is recognized in advance of billings. We recognize revenue from contracts primarily utilizing the cost-to-cost measure of progress method, to estimate the progress towards completion to determine the amount of revenue and profit to recognize. Changes in those estimates could result in the recognition of cumulative catch-up adjustments to the contract’s inception-to-date revenue, costs and profit in the period in which such changes are made. As a result, we recognized net favorable operating income adjustments of $8.2 million and $5.0 million for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019 , respectively, compared to net unfavorable operating income adjustments of $1.0 million and $2.4 million Although RUPOs reflect business that is considered to be firm, cancellations, deferrals or scope adjustments may occur. RUPOs are adjusted to reflect any known project cancellations, revisions to project scope and cost, foreign currency exchange fluctuations and project deferrals, as appropriate. Our operations and maintenance contracts can generally be terminated by the clients without a substantive financial penalty. Therefore, the remaining performance obligations on such contracts are limited to the notice period required for the termination (usually 30, 60, or 90 days). Revenue Recognition On October 1, 2018, we adopted ASC 606, which supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. We adopted the standard on a modified retrospective basis which results in no restatement of the comparative periods presented and a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the date of adoption. As part of our adoption, the new standard was applied only to those contracts that were not substantially completed as of the date of adoption. To determine the proper revenue recognition method for contracts under ASC 606, we evaluate whether multiple contracts should be combined and accounted for as a single contract and whether the combined or single contract should be accounted for as having more than one performance obligation. The decision to combine a group of contracts or separate a combined or single contract into multiple performance obligations may impact the amount of revenue recorded in a given period. Contracts are considered to have a single performance obligation if the promises are not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts. At contract inception, we assess the goods or services promised in a contract and identify, as a separate performance obligation, each distinct promise to transfer goods or services to the customer. The identified performance obligations represent the “unit of account” for purposes of determining revenue recognition. In order to properly identify separate performance obligations, we apply judgment in determining whether each good or service provided is: (a) capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer, and (b) distinct within the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. Contracts are often modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements. We consider contract modifications to exist when the modification either creates new or changes the existing enforceable rights and obligations. Most of our contract modifications are for goods or services that are not distinct from existing contracts due to the significant integration provided or significant interdependencies in the context of the contract and are accounted for as if they were part of the original contract. The effect of a contract modification on the transaction price and our measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates, is recognized as an adjustment to revenue (either as an increase in or a reduction of revenue) on a cumulative catch-up basis. We account for contract modifications as a separate contract when the modification results in the promise to deliver additional goods or services that are distinct and the increase in price of the contract is for the same amount as the stand-alone selling price of the additional goods or services included in the modification. The transaction price represents the amount of consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to our customers. The consideration promised within a contract may include fixed amounts, variable amounts, or both. The nature of our contracts gives rise to several types of variable consideration, including claims, award fee incentives, fiscal funding clauses, and liquidated damages. We recognize revenue for variable consideration when it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized for the contract will not occur. We estimate the amount of revenue to be recognized on variable consideration using either the expected value or the most likely amount method, whichever is expected to better predict the amount of consideration to be received. Project mobilization costs are generally charged to project costs as incurred when they are an integrated part of the performance obligation being transferred to the client. Claims are amounts in excess of agreed contract prices that we seek to collect from our clients or other third parties for delays, errors in specifications and designs, contract terminations, change orders in dispute or unapproved as to both scope and price, or other causes of unanticipated additional costs. Revenue on claims is recognized only to the extent that contract costs related to the claims have been incurred and when it is probable that any significant revenue recognized related to the claim will not be reversed. Factors considered in determining whether revenue associated with claims (including change orders in dispute and unapproved change orders in regard to both scope and price) should be recognized include the following: (a) the contract or other evidence provides a legal basis for the claim, (b) additional costs were caused by circumstances that were unforeseen at the contract date and not the result of deficiencies in our performance, (c) claim-related costs are identifiable and considered reasonable in view of the work performed, and (d) evidence supporting the claim is objective and verifiable. This can lead to a situation in which costs are recognized in one period and revenue is recognized in a subsequent period when a client agreement is obtained, or a claims resolution occurs. In some cases, contract retentions are withheld by clients until certain conditions are met or the project is completed, which may be several months or years. In these cases, we have not identified a significant financing component under ASC 606 as the timing difference in payment compared to delivery of obligations under the contract is not for purposes of financing. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, we allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation using a best estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract. The standalone selling price is typically determined using the estimated cost of the contract plus a margin approach. For contracts containing variable consideration, we allocate the variability to a specific performance obligation within the contract if such variability relates specifically to our efforts to satisfy the performance obligation or transfer the distinct good or service, and the allocation depicts the amount of consideration to which we expect to be entitled. We recognize revenue over time as the related performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of a promised good or service to our customers. Progress toward complete satisfaction of the performance obligation is primarily measured using a cost-to-cost measure of progress method. The cost input is based primarily on contract cost incurred to date compared to total estimated contract cost. This measure includes forecasts based on the best information available and reflects our judgment to faithfully depict the value of the services transferred to the customer. For certain on-call engineering or consulting and similar contracts, we recognize revenue in the amount which we have the right to invoice the customer if that amount corresponds directly with the value of our performance completed to date. Due to uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, it is possible that estimates of costs to complete a performance obligation will be revised in the near-term. For those performance obligations for which revenue is recognized using a cost-to-cost measure of progress method, changes in total estimated costs, and related progress towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation, are recognized on a cumulative catch-up basis in the period in which the revisions to the estimates are made. When the current estimate of total costs indicates a loss, a provision for the entire estimated loss on the contract is made in the period in which the loss becomes evident. Contract Types Our services are performed under three principal types of contracts: fixed-price, time-and-materials and cost-plus. Customer payments on contracts are typically due within 60 days of billing, depending on the contract. Fixed-Price . Under fixed-price contracts, clients pay us an agreed fixed-amount negotiated in advance for a specified scope of work. Time-and-Materials . Under time-and-materials contracts, we negotiate hourly billing rates and charge our clients based on the actual time that we spend on a project. In addition, clients reimburse us for our actual out-of-pocket costs for materials and other direct incidental expenditures that we incur in connection with our performance under the contract. Most of our time-and-material contracts are subject to maximum contract values, and also may include annual billing rate adjustment provisions. Cost-Plus . Under cost-plus contracts, we are reimbursed for allowed or otherwise defined costs incurred plus a negotiated fee. The contracts may also include incentives for various performance criteria, including quality, timeliness, ingenuity, safety and cost-effectiveness. In addition, our costs are generally subject to review by our clients and regulatory audit agencies, and such reviews could result in costs being disputed as non-reimbursable under the terms of the contract. Adoption Upon adoption on October 1, 2018, under the modified retrospective method, we recorded a cumulative effect adjustment to decrease retained earnings by $2.8 million on October 1, 2018, as well as the following cumulative effect adjustments: • A decrease to contract assets of $5.0 million • A decrease to contract liabilities of $1.1 million • An increase to deferred tax assets of $1.1 million The decrease in retained earnings primarily resulted from a change in the way we determine the unit of account for projects (i.e. performance obligations). Under previous guidance, we typically accounted for a contract as a single unit of revenue recognition. Upon adoption of ASC 606, we assess the nature of the promises in the contract and recognize revenue based on performance obligations within the respective contract or combined contract. Our RUPOs represent a measure of the total dollar value of work to be performed on contracts awarded and in progress. We had $2.8 billion of RUPOs as of June 30, 2019 . RUPOs increase with awards from new contracts or additions on existing contracts and decrease as work is performed and revenue is recognized on existing contracts. RUPOs may also decrease when projects are canceled or modified in scope. We include a contract within our RUPOs when the contract is awarded and an agreement on contract terms has been reached. |
