The Public Works Department's Capital Projects Management Division (Division) provides architectural engineering, project and construction management, and energy management services to County departments. These services include planning, budgeting, scheduling, design, bidding, and construction administration. Staff also ensure that County construction projects meet acceptable design criteria and applicable codes. The Division is responsible for advertising, bidding, and awarding consulting services agreements and construction contracts. Projects range from tenant improvement to new building construction. In addition to active projects, there are many requests for assistance with projects in the development stage. While the amount of projects has increased, the staffing for the Division has remained the same. An Assistant Capital Facilities Project Manager is needed to assist with this increased workload.
If this action is not approved, the Capital Projects Management Division will have difficulty responding to all of the requests for Capital Project services and projects may be delayed.
