This increase will allow continued plan checking by CSG for various surveying and <br />engineering applications, allow CSG to continue to be the City Surveyor, and provide for future <br />staff augmentation and construction inspection needs. Costs for services will be charged to the <br />project applicant for which the service is provided. <br />BACKGROUND <br />The Engineering and Transportation Department provides engineering services for public and <br />private land development projects. Consultants are used to supplement staff when there is higher <br />than normal workload, when there are staff vacancies, and when specific expertise is required. <br />In 2020, the City renewed its 2017 CSA with CSG to continue to provide services related to the <br />review of development submittals, the review and approval of subdivision maps, and the <br />inspection of field work. <br />Analysis <br />CSG has performed well under its 2017 and 2020 contracts. However, the 2020 contract <br />underestimated the services that CSG would provide to the City. Pandemic related staffing <br />Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 11/12/202177
