Pilot Projects Offer Opportunities to Test Improved Service Delivery Ideas Continually investigate methods to provide services more efficiently and effectively to our residents. • Parks maintenance staff available 7 days a week allowing for coverage during weekend peek times and for special events i.e. Kempenfest. • Winter Maintenance night shift that ran from November 15, 2018 and ended April 15, 2019 . This has resulted in savings in overtime, sand/salt usage and provided a higher level of service to our residents. 9

  10. How to Get Answers to RFP Questions? • Start with Service Barrie! • Especially if it involves a service/repair request • Quicker action • Easier to track follow up • Please manage the urge to ask front line staff to take action • Detailed question/concerns should be emailed to the Director with a cc to Service Barrie and the GM • Remember RFP for operational issues; likely other departments for planning and enforcement issues. But we are always happy to help direct your enquiry 10
