Stormwater crews/personnel reassignment to sanitary work
Overview
Since the loss of the class action lawsuit on the District impervious rate will result in a shortfall
in Operating revenue, existing storm water crews will need to perform other sanitary work that
has previously been contracted.
A list of crews and positions that were hired with impervious funds are:
3 — 5 men utility crews (15 FTE)
3 — 4 men SRS crews (12 FTE)
5 — 2 men vactor crews (10 FTE)
3 engineers
1 mechanic
2 supervisors
2 assistant supervisors
1 planner scheduler
1 warehouse tech
1 temp bricklayer
The positions highlighted in grey are needed to support our additional size and their duties are a
mix of both sanitary and stormwater work. They will not be reassigned, however the percentage
of work dedicated to stormwater support will be reduced. Work reassignment will focus on the
crews and engineers
Work Reassignment
Utility Crews: 3 — 5men crews and equipment.
Starting in FY 2011, Three utility crews, one per yard, will shift there work from stormwater to
sanitary infrastructure repair work.
Utility crews time will be freed up by reduction in stormwater repairs in red and yellow area as
defined in stormwater service. They will now perform sanitary I/R work that was previously
contracted by Engineering as referred by Principal Engineers.
Principals Engineers will see that proper design is performed in house with their staff.
Cost reallocation: $3 million
(2 million to Operations budget, 1 million support budgets)
Inlet Crews: 6 -2 men crews
1. Starting in FY2012, three of the inlet crews, one crew per yard (6 men), will shift the
efforts to sanitary CCTV work. This will be new work anticipated to be needed to
support requirements of CMOM related consent decree work. If not done internally this
would need to be contracted in FY12.
Operations will eliminate the purchase of three Combination machines in FY11 and instead
purchase 3 new CCTV trucks. Training for crews is anticipated to begin in calendar year 2012.
Cost reallocation $2 million
2. Starting in FY2012, three of the inlet crews, one crew per yard (6 men), will shift the
efforts to sanitary Infiltration and Inflow (I&I) investigation work. This work is currently
done by contractors and will continue to be needed.
Operations will buy equipment out of FY11 budget and coordinate training plans with the current
contractors. Training is anticipated to begin in December 2011. Contractor work will be
reduced accordingly by Engineering.
Cost reallocation $900k (6 FTE x $150k/per FTE.)
SRS crews 3 — 4 men crews
The District has a total of six structural rehab system (SRS) crews. Three of the crews were
hired to support stormwater work. SRS crews typically do limited work in cold weather and
have to be shut down when temperatures are below 40 degrees.
Starting in FY2012 all SRS crews will be shut down in November through March of each year.
The 24 men will shift there work to sanitary I&I investigation for four months each year. This
work is currently done by contractors and will continue to be needed by the District. This
methodology will allow us to maximize value from the SRS equipment and maintain
rehabilitation efforts and still insource work. Additionally, manhole inspection is a large part of
I&I investigations, and crews will be finding defects and be familiar with the manholes that they
will be rehabbing in the spring and summer .
Operations will buy equipment out of FY11 budget and coordinate training plans with the current
contractors. Training is anticipated to begin in December 2011. Contractor work will be
reduced accordingly by Engineering.
The 24 men working 4 months a year will provide 8 FTE workers for I&I
Cost reallocation $1.2 million (8 FTE x 150k/per FTE)
Engineers
The three engineers will shift their work efforts to supporting the design of I/R work; support of
I&I work and report coordination; review and support of CCTV work. One engineers time is
reflected in the I/R funding the other two will support CCTV and I&I.
Cost reallocation $300k (
Summary
2x 150k/FTE)
Operations will be reallocating the work of 38 FTE's hired for storm water work to sanitary
work. That sanitary work is currently contracted and this work will be in -sourced as follows:
