Re: Fort Gordon Staffing Request
Approve the addition of twelve positions to theAUD organizational
structure for the purpose of operating and maintaining the Fort Gordon
water and sewer system with the first named position being that of Assistant
Director -Fort Gordon Operations.
On November 1St, 2007, the Defense Energy Support Center (DESC) issued a
notice to proceed to the City of Augusta for the operation and maintenance
takeover of the Fort Gordon water and sewer system. According to the contract
signed between Augusta and DESC, the city has 120 days from the notice to
proceed date in which to assume full operation of the water and sewer system.
In the contract proposal AUD set forth the need for twelve full time positions as
follows: Operations Manager - 1, Civil Engineer III-I, CMMS Manager - 1,
Lab Technician - 1, Utility Supervisor - 1, Utility Foreman - 1, Heavy
Equipment Operator --I, Utility Worker- 4, and Senior Technician - 1.
The original staffing positions placed in the proposal were based on the personnel
needed to perform the required work. The personnel cost was one of the
components in establishing the Operations & Maintenance (O&M) budget in
which AUD is to receive a monthly payment from DESC for compensation of
expenses.
Considering the major responsibility associated with the general overseer of the
Fort Gordon operations, we have changed the title of the Operations Manager
position to Assistant Director-Fort Gordon Operations- Pay Grade 59.
