Engineering and Construction Services Department

The role of the Engineering and Construction Services Department is to provide technical and logistical support to all City Departments that includes surveying, engineering design, construction inspection, and complete project administration (including contract and grant management services) on street construction, storm drainage improvements, new building facilities and many other related site improvement projects on City property or in the public right-of-way. Engineering is also tasked with the issuance of right-of-way permits and Code Enforcement associated with permitted activities for modifications and construction in the public right-of-way by entities other than the City.

Engineering’s primary objective is to upgrade existing infrastructure and to provide new infrastructure improvements consisting of transportation, stormwater facilities, traffic control, coastal/waterfront developments, new building facilities and environmental-related projects. The Department also strives to maximize right-of-way construction compliance with City Codes and to assist other departments and the public in properly addressing local, state, and federal requirements relating to most types of development and environmental issues.
