AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval to advertise a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) or Request
for Proposals (RFP) for supplemental staffing for the Project Management Department to assist with
managing construction projects on an as-needed basis.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
The Project Management Department is currently experiencing a staffing shortage and a lack of
qualified applicants for vacant Project Manager positions requiring current staff to take on additional
projects. This additional work by current staff is causing a delay in some projects being started or
adequately overseen. In the event of a hurricane or other disaster, Project Management typically
oversees many, many more repair projects in addition to the capital projects already being constructed.
Staff is asking for approval to advertise an RFP/RFQ for supplemental staffing which will allow the
hiring of additional outside staff on an as-needed basis to assist with managing various construction
projects during times of short staffing or after hurricanes or other disasters when current staffing levels
are inadequate to handle day-to-day needs of the department.
