Purpose
The Engineering Department is responsible for a large number of duties; however, the overriding responsibility of the department is to plan, design, and inspect infrastructure construction and reconstruction such as roads, sanitary and storm sewers, water supply, trails, etc. within the City's rights-of-way and easements. In the fall of each year, department staff begins planning for the following year's construction activity by performing research and development of construction plans and specifications. These plans are most often put out for bids by prospective contractors in the early spring, and then implemented during the summer construction season.
