Stantec is just the local consultant for the project. I'm pretty sure all the main engineering calculations were already done by Calatrava's office, you, know, to make sure if the bridge actually can support the loads it needs to. For the bridge span anyway. Stantec probably just designs the footings the bridge will need, and prepares drawings for the pathway connections, stuff like that. All the stuff that doesn't have to be done by a higher priced consultant.
