Estimated staff requirements will be analyzed for each phase of the project at a high level using the Work Breakdown Structure defined in Section 5.4. For each task, initial staffing needs will be determined based on an analysis of required activities and the expected task duration. To ensure that no individual is detailed staffing analyses may be conducted. To ensure that current and scheduled staffing assignments remain adequate, a project needs analysis will further be conducted every quarter. Based on the results of this analysis, appropriate staff adjustments will then be made to ensure that committed deliverables will be met. Staffing needs that cannot be addressed using existing resources may create a need for PATH or Caltrans to hire new staff members or contract with consultants to support specific project activities. Should new individuals be hired, hiring processes already in place at the University of California and Caltrans will be followed. This will require developing position descriptions and minimum qualifications, posting job descriptions for a certain amount of time, and evaluating the suitability of the respondents.
