Individuals with executive expertise in capital project management, construction, finance, engineering, law, or related fields are strongly encouraged to apply by 5:00pm on Tuesday, March 4, 2025.
The City will continue its rigorous processes and comprehensive approach for managing major capital construction projects, ensuring compliance with deliverables, budget, and schedule. The committee will function in an advisory capacity, offering independent advice and feedback throughout the design, development and construction milestones of the City’s major capital projects exceeding $50 million.
In addition, the new committee will strengthen existing oversights and enhance evaluations of value for money, adopting industry-leading best practices while ensuring alignment with Council-approved project goals. With multiple layers of transparency and control already in place, this comprehensive approach will ensure even more successful, on-time, and on-budget project delivery.
The committee will comprise up to five subject matter experts. Additionally, Council may appoint a Council liaison, and the Director of Facilities and Project Development will serve as the staff liaison.
Appointments will be for a two-year term, with quarterly in-person meetings at Richmond City Hall. Subject matter expert committee members will be remunerated $500 for each meeting attended.
