DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION
Community Development Services, Department of Transportation (Transportation), recommending the Board adopt and authorize the Chair to sign the Resolution, amending the Authorized Personnel Allocation Resolution (#132-2018), thereby deleting the current vacant 1.0 full time equivalent (FTE) Assistant in Civil Engineering allocation and adding a 1.0 FTE Limited Term Assistant in Civil Engineering allocation, effective August 14, 2018. This Limited Term Assistant in Civil Engineering allocation will provide support to the Office Engineer Unit.
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
The Board of Supervisors approved the Personnel Allocation Resolution (#132-2018) which reflects Transportation’s personnel allocations. Currently Transportation has 8.0 FTE Assistant in Civil Engineering allocations. 1.0 of the Assistant in Civil Engineering is currently vacant and supports the Office Engineer Unit. This Unit is responsible for reviewing the engineering plans, preparing bid packages, reviewing bid submittals and vetting contractors that submit bids.
Transportation has reviewed the Unit’s staffing structure and current workloads, and determined the Unit currently has a need for support but will only have enough work for the next two years.
ALTERNATIVES
The Board could choose to decline to adopt the Resolution but this could cause Transportation to be unable to efficiently conduct the bid process for engineering projects.
