Prioritizing capital projects along with other critical responsibilities that are integral to daily departmental operations and improvements to the general City infrastructure is of utmost importance and the City is building capacity to ensure projects are delivered in a timely manner.

This is necessary to restructure the workflow of critical projects in focusing efficiencies on capital projects delivery, the completion of projects timely and within budget. The staff in this new department will be focused on critical capital projects delivery. The Capital Project Department has Licensed Professional Engineer openings in the Design Services Division, Transportation Project Management Division and the Utilities and On‑Site Project Management Division.
