TL;DR (generated · confidence: high)

The Engineering Services – Construction Management and Inspection and Testing Services Program provides inspection, testing, and construction management services for BES capital projects through three sections: ITSD (inspection and materials testing), SSRD construction management, and TPSD construction management. The 2026-27 proposed budget of $1.75M represents a decrease from 2025-26, with personnel costs declining from $2.47M to $2.04M. The program emphasizes job site safety, quality assurance, equity initiatives including workforce development, and plans to increase entry-level positions.

City of Portland Fiscal Year 2026-27 Proposed Budget Within ITSD, Construction Inspection provides public works inspection services for bureau capital projects and projects that become part of BES' infrastructure portfolio and the Materials Testing Lab (MTL) conducts materials testing, code-mandated special inspection, geotechnical services, and evaluation of construction materials products and emerging technologies for Environmental Services and other city bureaus within the Public Works Service Area. The SSRD and TPSD Construction Sections manage construction phases of projects for the collection system, stormwater, restoration, wastewater treatment plant, pump station, and force-main projects. The Construction Management and Inspection and Testing Services Program's focus on job site safety and the bureau's overall incident rate, and the MTL's role in testing and evaluating materials in the design and construction of those capital projects directly impact the performance measures for the bureau's constructed assets. The bureau owns and maintains most of its constructed assets, so quality assurance during installation helps maximize asset life. The program ensures the construction of safe, high- quality, minimally disruptive, and cost-effective projects that aim for completion on schedule and within budget. The groups also maintain, manage, and ensure adherence to several on-call professional, technical, and expert support contracts related to construction, testing, and inspection. Services Project construction management; Project construction inspection; Standard project delivery; Alternative project delivery; Contract Management; Materials testing services; Geotechnical services Equity Impacts This program supports several of the bureau equity focus areas including External Workforce Development, Environmental Justice, Government Cultural Competency, and Equitable Internal Workforce Development. For example, as part of its management of construction contracts, the Construction program actively and directly encourages equitable contracting. The MTL is part of the bureau's overall engineering design and construction approach for capital projects to ensure the same quality standards of design, construction, and materials for any capital project in the City, regardless of neighborhood or community demographics. The result is that no community bears a disproportionate burden because of inferior construction materials or workmanship. In FY 2026-27, program supervisors and business operations staff will continue efforts to create tools for ensuring our staff understand the impacts of decisions. Additionally, we encourage employees to identify and submit issues and improvement ideas related to their work, resolution of issues, and what issues are being currently worked on via team meetings, a groupwide suggestion box, and internal communication improvement. Suggestions are shared and explored via team meetings and through specialized workshops. Finally, the group continues to look for opportunities to create entry level positions. In FY 2025-26, the group created one entry-level contract employee position. The group goal is to increase this number in FY 2026-27, by down-classing positions as they become vacant. This initiative includes this program offer as well as the Engineering Services - Design Services program offer. The group continues to pursue equity training and development opportunities and look for ways to deliver capital projects equitably in support of the City and all stakeholders. Changes to Program Operating budget and scope of work for this program remains largely unchanged from the previous year, with some minor movement of budget between teams to align with actual spending, as well as inflationary increases where necessary to areas 791
