Dr. Robert Balsters II, Assistant Superintendent, Topeka - Seaman High School
The Atlas Coop was beneficial because it allowed us to purchase the field we felt was the best for our situation. By using cooperative purchasing, we were able to eliminate the possibility of a competing, and in our opinion inferior, field product having to be selected due to a situational low bid requirement. Atlas was very satisfactory. When the problems with the number fond and red color were discovered, Atlas did not hesitate to work with us to ensure that our product was identical to our contracted product. I would recommend the Atlas Cooperative Purchasing process to other schools who determine that the FieldTurf product is their product of choice. The Atlas Coop process allows schools to follow their state’s bid law and purchase a superior field product.

Our turf project worked out really well. Atlas Coop process is a vehicle that has great advantages and used in the right situation it is the only way to go. It is more timely than the standard bid process and it allows for established known contractors to be used and known pricing. I would recommend the Atlas Coop process to other New Mexico schools who are interested in purchasing a FieldTurf field. Atlas Coop fills a gap that cannot be filled by the standard competitive bid process in terms of timing and having a known contractor/product – FieldTurf.
Ray Kirch,Activities Director, Osseo High School
Using FieldTurf and the Atlas cooperative purchasing process was a great option for the Osseo Area School District. We were pleased when we found out that FieldTurf was available through coop. We were very happy with how it worked out using the Atlas cooperative purchasing program to purchase our synthetic field. We appreciated the idea of ‘cutting to the chase’ with pricing and options through the copperative purcahsing program. We were able to get the turf we wanted at a price that was in our budget.Grady O'Connor Head Track and Field Coach Lane Community College
The finished product exceeded my highest expectation. I've been on a lot of different track surfaces, and I must say the BSS 2000 surface is noticeably better than anything else that is out there. It provides a great compliment of both force reduction and energy return, the ideal give and take we were looking for in a surface, rain or shine.
Josue Lowe, Athletic Director Centralia High School
We are thrilled with the final product completed this past fall. The time, energy and commitment to get the job done in a very short window of time was outstanding. The students, teams and community rave about the quality of our new track and field turf field.
Kirk Reynolds, Head Track Coach at Pomona College
We are thrilled with our new facility. The installation crew was highly efficient and professional, and the new surface is terrific. Our teams love training on it, and we’ve found the new surface to be excellent for competitions. We host a number of meets each year, and other schools and coaches are envious of our surface. We feel very fortunate to have daily access to such a first-rate product.
