MISSION STATEMENT


Public Works has proven to be a phenomenon worth investing in since antiquity because of the overall economic and health benefits to society. Through its public infrastructure, the City sustains and encourages economic growth needed to maintain prosperity and well-being for its community.

In quiet times the Department of Public Works ensures the continued maintenance, upkeep, and development of our public infrastructure. The department strives to support and enhance the high quality of life for the City’s residents, businesses and visitors by providing well planned, environmentally sensitive, cost-effective infrastructure and services to promote public health, personal safety, transportation, economic growth, and civic vitality.

In times of crisis the department responds to, and aids in recovery from, earthquakes, storms, and other emergencies as an integral part of providing and managing public works services. Without public works, our city would submerge in darkness. Without public works, our roads would become impassable. Without public works, our faucets would run dry. Public works may not always enjoy the limelight, but its existence is unmistakably important.

 

AUXILIARY BUREAUS


To accomplish its mission, the Department of Public Works relied on three bureaus: Public Utilities, City Contracts, and Public Transit. Today, the Public Works Department is fully focused on Public Utilities.
 
BUREAU OF PUBLIC UTILITIES (ACTIVE)

The Bureau of Public Utilities is dedicated to maintaining the infrastructure of Los Santos and the surrounding counties in San Andreas. The bureau is responsible for the maintenance, construction, renovation, operation, and cleanliness of public facilities and infrastructure.

 
BUREAU OF CITY CONTRACTS (HISTORY)

In certain cases, the government decides to hire a third party for the performance of the aforementioned services. When the government decides to call upon the services of a business, it is required to follow the rules and regulations of public procurement. Any B2B or even B2C business can offer its services to the government, but a government contract can only be awarded through a meticulous process in which multiple companies compete for the same contract. All government contracts are overseen by the Bureau of City Contracts.

 
BUREAU OF PUBLIC TRANSIT (HISTORY)

The Bureau of Public Transit strives to be the citizen's smart traveling-companion in the entire State of San Andreas. The bureau attaches great importance to the customer's travel needs by offering a wide range of durable and qualitative transportation solutions. Safety, reliability, and efficiency take center stage in the bureau's mission. Additionally, the Bureau of Transportation is an important contributor to the city's economic, ecological, and social development. The activities of this bureau are currently up for bidding and shall be procured through a government contract.

 

PUBLIC WORKS HEADQUARTERS

The department's main headquarters is located in Vinewood Hills. In addition to housing offices where paperwork carries information across the department, the new facility also incorporates protected storage for all of the department's vehicles and equipment, indoor maintenance bays for vehicle and equipment repair and storage, protected areas for storage of repair parts and maintenance materials, and sufficient open area to allow for the flow of equipment and machinery to maintain the City's infrastructure. Taking site space constraints into account, two on-site buildings provide tuck-under workspaces to offer adequate separation between clean and dirty activities. The elevated office spaces also offer PW staff views of site features and access to daylight to create a pleasant interior work environment.

The facility is a gathering place for city employees only and restricted to the public. For the safety of the general public and the security of public works operations, it is important to secure the site, especially in an urban context. Addressing that need with extensive fencing was an important factor within the compound's design narrative.
 
 
 

TAKING YOUR FIRST STEPS


First and foremost every Public Works Technician is also considered a full-fledged City Employee. As you are entitled to the same rights, you also are bound by the same rules. Irrespective of rank and department all City Employees are required to abide by the City's Code of Conduct. Upon being hired you may not commence your duties before explicitly agreeing to these rules by signing an Employment Declaration Agreement.

In order to ensure an up-to-date record of your employment, you are also required to send your personal information including your phone number and legal address to the Office of the City Operations Officer.


 

 

JOB CLASSIFICATIONS

There are two job classifications within the bureau's workforce. Upon successfully passing your induction training you will receive your General Service Technician (GST) Certification. The GST certification provides all members of the bureau, irrespective of rank, with an elementary knowledge of our public infrastructure as well as the necessary skills and competencies by incorporating theory into practice through extensive induction training.

Upon gaining more experience and acquiring certifications in particular fields of expertise Technicians become eligible for a promotion to the position of Public Works Lead. Eligibility requirements and more information regarding the process can be found below.


 

CHAIN OF COMMAND

Technicians receive their briefings and on-the-job instructions from a Public Works Foreman in the capacity of their immediate supervisor. The full chain of command for the Department of Public Works is demonstrated below:
