Contra Costa County
he County of Contra Costa, California was incorporated in 1850 as one of the original 27 counties in the State of California. With a current population of over one million residents, Contra Costa is the ninth most populous county in California. As one of the nine counties in the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Area, Contra Costa is primarily a suburban area with its boundary extending to the northern San Francisco Bay to the west, Suisun Bay to the North, and the San Joaquin Delta area to the east. There are 19 incorporated cities and numerous towns and communities with the City of Martinez serving as the County Seat. The cities of Concord, Richmond and Antioch are the most populated with over 100,000 residents each. Abundant housing options exist within a wide range of prices and locales throughout the region. The County is also well known for the high quality of its junior colleges, secondary and elementary schools. Modern freeways and numerous Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) stations provide convenient access to all parts of the Bay Area. There are also many cultural and recreational attractions throughout the area. The county’s ideal location provides for easy driving access to San Francisco, The Monterey Peninsula, the Sierra-Lake Tahoe area, the majestic Redwood Forests and beautiful North Coast, and Napa and Sonoma Wine Country.
The Position(s)

W
ith the 2006 passage of Measure A+, the voters of Contra Costa County approved an improvement bond for the CCCCD. The measure addressed a wide variety of Capital Projects including the upgrade of existing facilities, replacement and/or improvement of underground infrastructure, renovation of health and fitness centers, enhancement of technology capabilities, installation of solar power and other renewable energy systems where appropriate, and the funding of specific projects including construction of a new library and continued phased construction at the San Ramon campus. These plans have created the need for three new project managers to oversee the wide scope of projects within the District’s Capital Improvement Program. It’s anticipated that $400 million in capital project work will be initiated and completed during the upcoming 5-6 year timeframe. Each of the project managers will be dedicated to one of the respective three college campus sites and will oversee the entire “cradle-to-grave” aspects of capital projects including project scope, project planning, RFP’s/bidding/procurement, construction management and project close out activities. The Project Managers will report to the District’s Chief Facilities Planner, and will actively coordinate their project efforts with the Director of Program Controls to ensure that finance, budget, contracts and other project controls are administered in a cost efficient and effective manner. Equally important will be the need to maintain excellent work relationships with constituents by actively facilitating communications and project status updates with their respective college president and other key college stakeholders and customers. A key aspect of success in these roles will be the ability of the Project Managers to adapt to the nuances of the educational environment, while providing a foundation of analytical thinking and critical problem solving to the Capital Project environment. These “at will” positions are expected to be active, challenging and diverse for the entire duration of the 5-6 year CIP cycle. It’s uncertain if these positions will continue to be funded thereafter.
