Report
Summary
The contractor will provide services to assist the Water Services Department with 12 reconfiguration projects. One of the larger projects is to relocate the Water Safety and Training Section to provide for better oversight of the Deer Valley training facility and contractors, improve the delivery of health, safety and professional development training, and create a more safe and professional workplace. Another significant project consists of reorganizing the Warehouse Section Procurement teams to the Wastewater and Water Treatment Plants and Water Service Yards, to provide vendors and the Water Services Department with centralized support on the procurement process. The reconfiguration of office spaces and equipment is needed for team collaboration and to decrease work process redundancies, reducing operating expenses while increasing productivity.

The $297,000 in additional funds are available in the Water Services Department's budget.
