For agencies
Direct work has included roadway design and PS&E for Marion County, traffic impact analysis scoping for the City of Independence, and in 2026 on-call construction inspection for the City of Sheridan. A small firm cannot staff a program, but it can be on site for a project most days and answer the phone when the contractor calls.
