Capital Improvement Section

• Prepares the plans, specifications and contract documents for the construction of public improvements throughout the City including;
  • roadway improvements
  • utility pipelines
  • pump stations
  • bridges
  • trails
  • public buildings 
• Determines specific needs, performance standards, and priorities for projects identified in the Capital Improvement Program adopted by City Council every two years.
• The Capital Improvement Section also administers the City’s Pavement Management System

Development Services Section

• Works closely with private developers, the developers’ engineers, and the public in the review and approval of subdivision maps and improvement plans.

Construction Inspection Section

• Provides inspection of public project designs during construction and assures that approved plans and specifications are followed during the construction of public projects.  Examples of public improvement projects include construction of, and repair and improvements to public streets, utility pipelines, pump stations, bridges, parks, trails, public buildings, and public parking lots. 
• Works closely with outside utility companies that use the public right of way for the routing of their facilities by issuing encroachment permits to control the time, place, and manner of construction in public streets.

Landscape Architecture

• The Landscape Architecture Division works with the public, other City departments and design consultants to design and prepare construction drawings for the construction of new park projects, renovations of existing parks, and other landscape replacement projects on City property. This Division also administers the Pleasanton Landscape Ordinance and the urban forestry program, including street tree replacement and protection of Heritage trees; and reviews private development landscape plans for conformance with City standards. The overall intent of the Division is to provide residents with exceptional parks, landscapes, and urban forest by improving the aesthetic character of the City.
