HOMESWEST — ZONE MAINTENANCE MODEL
I refer to the Homeswest zone maintenance model. (1) How many full-time equivalents are employed to support, monitor or supervise the department’s zone maintenance contracts? (2) How many trade inspectors or supervisors are employed to inspect work carried out under the zone maintenance contracts? (3) Does this number represent a net increase or decrease on staffing levels that existed prior to the implementation of this maintenance model? Hon NORMAN MOORE

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) Eleven full-time and 13 part-time. (2) The department employs three trade-qualified quality assurance staff who conduct checks throughout the state. The head contractors are responsible, as part of their contracts, for ensuring all maintenance work undertaken by their subcontractors is completed to an acceptable standard. (3) This represents a temporary net increase in staff to undertake the implementation phase of the new maintenance contracts.
