- Assisting in coordinating water and sewer improvements
- Reviewing and approving permits for Right-of-Way, Encroachment, Private Utility, and Stormwater Management
- Managing the design and construction activities carried out by the City's contractors and consultants

- Assisting the public with inquiries related to public utility locations, permits, sidewalk issues, safety concerns, and other matters
- Overseeing the City's Stormwater Management permits and reviews, as well as Soil Erosion and Sediment Control reviews as required by EGLE
The Engineering Services staff also administers local City Streets, State, and Federal funds and grants to plan, design, and construct City Streets. They work in collaboration with City and Private Utilities to develop an effective and efficient program. The Engineering Division actively participates in regional transportation planning, asset management, and funding efforts through the Bay City Area Transportation Study (BCATS).
Regularly, the Engineering Services department evaluates the street and sidewalk system to determine maintenance and repair needs, collects infrastructure and traffic count data, conducts inventories of pavement and sidewalk conditions, creates and maintains GIS maps and databases associated with Engineering Services, and administers the city's processes for rights-of-way, stormwater management, and encroachment permits.
