City engineer: PUPAC reviews major public-works designs before city commission
Summary
Tom Nachmus said major project decisions go through the Public Works Project Evaluation Committee (PUPAC), which includes department heads and administration, and that most items reviewed by PUPAC proceed to the city commission for approval.
Tom Nachmus described a formal design coordination process for larger projects that includes a standing committee called PUPAC (Public Works Project Evaluation Committee). He said PUPAC includes the mayor, planning director, public works director, administration and department heads who weigh in on design and maintenance impacts before items are forwarded to the city commission.
Nachmus emphasized the need to coordinate with public works so maintenance burdens and long-term costs are considered during design. He said nearly everything reviewed by PUPAC ultimately goes to the city commission for approval.
