These inspectors regularly inspect the City's capital improvement projects <br />and utility permit projects performed by private utility companies. While regular City employees provide <br />most City services, the City occasionally contracts with outside firms to provide specialized expertise or to <br />provide additional capacity during peak work periods and times when employees are on extended leaves. <br />The Engineering Division is experiencing a high workload that requires contract engineering inspection <br />support. The proposed amendment to the existing contract will provide that support. The Department <br />will continue to evaluate the most effective mix of staffing and external support to provide the needed <br />expertise and capacity for inspection services. <br />Page 1 of 4 <br />City of Redwood City 1017 Middlefield Road, Redwood City, CA. 94063 Tel: 650-780-7000 www.redwoodcity.org <br />5 <br />
