62 APPENDIX C North Dakota Staffing Standards CONSTRUCTION MANPOWER PLANNING STAFFING STANDARDS PURPOSE The Department has adopted 15 construction staffing standards. The purpose of these standards is: + To provide guidelines for determining the number of engineers and technicians required to adequately staff construction projects. + To maximize personnel use. + To provide a resource for evaluating staffing patterns. + To provide estimates of numbers and classifications of employees required to meet future staffing needs. + To provide personnel projections for budgeting purposes. + To provide an estimate of numbers and types of vehicles needed for construction. BASIS OF PLANNING AND CONTROL Planning and controlling construction staffing activities needs two basic elements: + Estimates of the length of time employees will be needed on a project. + The number of employees required on each project. (These staffing standards will aid in fulfilling the requirements of the elements.) PLANNING RESPONSIBILITY Before February 15 of each year, the districts will furnish the Construction Services Engineer with a district staffing plan. The plan will be reviewed, revised if necessary, and adopted by March 1. These plans will provide staffing guidelines for the construction season and will become part of the Construction Services Staffing Plan. STAFFING RESPONSIBILITY The District Engineer is responsible for effective and efficient staffing and for maintaining adequate project control, inspection, and documentation. Changing workloads and conditions may result in some districts needing additional staff for short-term assignments. Districts with unassigned personnel will notify the Construction Services Engineer so employees can be assigned to districts needing additional staff. The Construction Services Engineer will be responsible for coordinating short-term assignments. CONSTRUCTION STAFFING STANDARDS The staffing standards define the number of employees normally required on each type of project. In addition, standards describe the number of employees required for each project by personnel classification. Some standards show one-half employee. In these instances, the standard means that the employee will not be needed full-time for the work described. When possible, project supervisors will fill one-half employee needs by transferring employees between projects in the general area. The standards do not anticipate all contingencies. The number of personnel assigned to a project should exceed the number shown in the standards only in extreme cases. At times, and under certain conditions, a project may not need all the personnel listed in the standard. It is the responsibility of each project supervisor to adjust staff to the minimum level consistent with good construction engineering practices.
