City of Surprise Engineering Dept.
I have had discussions with both the City manager and AC manager, about my concerns about the engineering department.
In the past having been a licensed General Engineering Contractor in both the state of California and Arizona, a licensed construction inspector for the Los Angeles County Engineering Department and having worked with many municipalities, I know that to have an effective engineering department you must have a qualified staff, such as engineers and inspectors that are employed by the city on a permanent basis.
Do any of us know what we have payed, in engineering consultants? We now pay what they call pre-construction consultants. Who I am told by staff verifies that what we receive from the architect is viable, one contract recently was for almost $700,000. A council member took this off the consent items but did not receive the right answer
In our rapid growth, other then our engineering department we have developed good departments.
