Introduction

Phase II begins the engineering design and plan preparation process for a project. The date for beginning this process will depend upon the approved project schedule, budget and time anticipated to complete the various phases/tasks. The project team will play an important decision-making role in managing a project. This team will consist of City staff and private consultants (if applicable). Intra-department, public involvement, and utility company meetings are commenced during this phase. Field check plans are prepared, distributed and reviewed along with preliminary construction cost estimates. Also, R/W and easement documents are completed and, if required, appraisers are hired.

Task No. 1 - Identify Project Team

When a project is scheduled to begin the design phase, the Project Team is to be identified by the City Engineer and/or the City Traffic Engineer, depending on the scope of the project. The purpose of this team is to provide input, information, support, and execution throughout the project planning, design, and construction. The Project Team will generally include the following members: Project Manager, Traffic Engineer, Construction Inspector, Traffic Maintenance Technician, Maintenance Representative, Engineering Technician, Contract Specialist, Law Department Representative, and Finance Representative.

Task No. 2 - Decide if City Staff to Design

The City Engineer and/or the City Traffic Engineer in consultation with the Project Team will decide whether the project will be designed by the City Staff or by a Consulting Engineer.
