3 <br /> We must emphasize that the attached schedule is only <br /> preliminary. We must expect that some tasks will take less • <br /> time than anticipated to complete, while other tasks will <br /> . take more time than anticipated. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S) : <br /> To assure that the CIP project schedule is successfully met, <br /> one person needs to be assigned certain management <br /> responsibilities. I have asked Pam Jones, Director of <br /> Purchasing and Central Services to assume this role and she <br /> has agreed. She will be assuming the following specific <br /> duties: <br /> 1 ) Coordinating any regulatory approval that must be <br /> obtained as each project is sited and developed. <br /> 2) Soliciting proposals from architects for each <br /> project and serving as the County's liaison with <br /> architects for the duration of the projects. <br /> 3) Prepare construction bids, facilitate final <br /> contracts and prepare all documents for Board of <br /> Commissioners approval . <br /> 4) Serve as County liaison with contractors and sub- <br /> contractors during the construction process. <br /> 5) Responsible for apprising the County Manager and CIP <br /> Project Team of project progress and/or problems <br /> that need to be addressed. <br /> In order for Pam to assume this role, I am recommending that <br /> a position of Purchasing Agent I be established in the <br /> Purchasing Department. The incumbent would be responsible <br /> for carrying out Purchasing activities as specified by Pam as <br /> well as other functions to include drafting specifications <br /> and coordinating special p'rograms such as risk management. <br /> Costs for this position for the months of February-June is <br /> $14,200. I recommend that funds come from County <br /> Commissioners' contingency Fund. <br /> Please note the proposed Preliminary Time Table as attached. <br /> FILE: CIPMGT.DOC <br /> DISK: DOCUMENTS - EGL <br />
