The remaining staff do not have sufficient capacity <br />to absorb this workload, as other critical projects are also entering construction or are under <br />design. <br /> <br />Carlson Management proposes providing Bill Carlson to support both the Associate Civil <br />Engineer and the Senior Civil Engineer roles, with responsibility for CIP oversight. Mr. Carlson <br />is familiar with the City's policies and procedures, has been providing staff augmentation <br />services within the Engineering Division, and can continue supporting ongoing projects without <br />interruption. <br /> <br />Recruitments to fill the vacant positions are underway. However, due to an industry-wide <br />shortage of qualified engineers, the hiring process is expected to take longer than usual. <br /> <br />EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY <br />This recommendation was developed in accordance with the City’s Procurement Policy and <br />previously City Council-approved purchasing and contracting provisions. <br /> <br />OUTREACH <br />No outreach was completed as this is a routine matter of City business. <br /> <br />STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT <br />Approval of this action advances the ONE Pleasanton Strategic Plan goal of Investing in Our <br />Environment, Strategy 1: Implement the Four-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to <br />complete the design and construction of budgeted capital projects. <br /> <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />The requested amendment will be funded through salary savings from the vacant Senior Civil <br />Engineer and Associate Civil Engineer positions within the Public Works operating budget for <br />professional services. The First Amendment will increase the agreement by a not-to-exceed <br />amount of $187,500, for a revised total not-to-exceed amount of $470,000. Once the vacant <br />positions are filled, the contract will be terminated. <br /> <br />Prepared by: Submitted by: Approved by: <br /> <br />Adam Nelkie, Assistant Dir. <br />of Public Works - <br />Engineering <br />Siew-Chin Yeong, Director of Public <br />Works <br /> <br />Gerry Beaudin, City <br />Manager <br /> <br />Attachments: <br />1.
