I suspect that what happened is they "contracted for the collection of detailed infrastructure data..." In other words, it was work for hire, and they own all rights to the data,. Therefore, as long as the right official within DRCOG signs off, we are good (no third party vendor has any ownership rights in the data and doesn't have to be consulted).
