Clayton County contracted with Long Engineering, LLC, (now Atlas) to provide construction inspection services for transportation related projects that were funded through Clayton County’s Special Purpose Local Sales Tax (SPLOST) program. Initiated in 2018, this one-year contract featured the possibility of four one-year renewals, all of which were executed. Atlas’ team provided overall project management, the Field Operations Manager, and six inspectors. Inspection services were further bolstered by additional personnel, including members from CERM’s team. The scope of work encompassed a range of inspections, from new roadways and roadway expansions to new sidewalks, culvert and bridge replacements, and enhancements to intersections. Clayton County contracted with CERM as prime, in 2024 with Atlas as members of the team.
