COUNCIL AGENDA PACKET - Laserfiche WebLink

Page 2 of 2 Carlson Management is proposing to provide Bill Carlson to fill both roles. He is familiar with the City’s policies and procedures as he has previously provided staff augmentation services within the Engineering Division and can quickly take over the responsibilities. A call for available staff with all of the City’s current on-call consultants was made, for which the firms reported limited staff availability over the next few months and confirmed they were not able to provide the necessary staff time to meet the project demands. Recruitments to backfill the vacant positions are underway, but due to an industry-wide labor shortage of qualified engineers, it will take longer than usual to complete the hiring process. EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY Staff followed the City Procurement Policy for purchasing procedures and previous City Council approved provisions to develop this recommendation. OUTREACH No outreach other than contacting the on-call consultants was conducted as this was a routine matter of City business. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT Approval of this action advances the ONE Pleasanton strategic plan goal of Investing in Our Environment, Strategy 1 – Implement the Four-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to complete the design and construction of budgeted capital projects. FISCAL IMPACT Salary savings from the vacant Associate Civil Engineer and Construction Inspector positions will fund the professional services agreement with Carlson Management under the Public Works’ operating budget for professional services. The contract is for time and material services and is not to exceed $282,500. Upon filling the vacant positions, the contract will be terminated.
