Background Information
Currently the City of North Port has one Project Manager to oversee all Capital Improvement Projects. The volume and complexity of these CIP projects has significantly increased over the last several years.

• Development and evaluation of Request for Proposals, projects and scope of work
• Working with internal departments during procurement process
• Maintaining departmental expectations
• Proper project budget oversight
• Contract administration and oversight
• Construction management and quality control
