CAPITAL OUTLAY SUPPORT STAFFING
 The Department traditionally submits a zero-based Capital Outlay Support request as part of the May Revision based on anticipated project allocations by the California Transportation Commission for the upcoming year and the resources needed to proceed with those projects. The May Revision projects 2007-08 capital outlay support and bond-related workload increases totaling $206 million and 527 personnel years, with slightly higher levels through 2010 and declining significantly thereafter. This staffing proposal reflects 85 percent state staff and 15 percent contract staff for all capital outlay support and bond-related activities. Nonbond-related workload is declining slightly and 100 vacant state positions have been reduced, reflecting a lower level of ongoing workload. The May Revision includes $129 million for contract positions to complete bond-related workload, representing approximately 95 percent of the total bond-related workload. The proposal also includes sufficient funding for existing positions that are expected to be filled by the end of 2006-07, with the balance of peak workload to be performed by contract staff. This will facilitate the rapid delivery of bond-funded projects and avoid the need in the future to significantly reduce the staffing level.

The May Revision also proposes 112 positions and $13.4 million for administrative costs directly related to the expenditure of bond funds for Proposition 1B programs, including budgeting, accounting, planning, programming, and auditing. The ongoing need for administration resources will be evaluated annually as part of the budget development process as bond expenditures are further determined.
