JIMEE Committee Report - June 26, 2012
During our last committee meeting we were able to agree on two cost saving initiatives:
- Using an experienced peer review team to examine design documents (plans and specification) in the early stages of project development in order to avoid costly design field changes
- Developing a city-wide project delivery manual
Currently the JIMEE Committee has 10 recommendations to formulate cost
savings and present to the Council. Several recommendations will not be
considered for further examination, such as cell phone usage, airline
discounts and smart parking meters. However, alternative delivery
mechanisms for projects will be discussed further.
We will probably make our presentation to the Council in the fall when we start to formulate the fiscal budget for next year, so please continue to send me your thoughts, recommendations and comments on how we can continue to work more efficiently and save money.
