The consultant will provide land surveying support services <br />on various projects for the Engineering and Transportation Department. <br />BACKGROUND <br />The Engineering and Transportation Department Project Development and Land Development <br />Divisions provide engineering services for public projects and private land development <br />applications. Because of a thriving economy as well as quadrupling of Measure BB funding <br />approved by voters in 2014, demands for service from the Engineering and Transportation <br />Department have increased significantly. Furthermore, the City’s proposed biennial budget <br />includes significant increases in expenditures for Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects <br />that will further stretch the capacity of the department. To continue providing timely and efficient <br />service to residents, visitors, other City departments and private land developers, it is necessary <br />to outsource certain tasks to consultants. Retaining qualified consultants to support the City’s staff <br />will provide options and flexibility while satisfying the expected demands.
