DCCM has served as the City of Piedmont’s Contract City Engineer since 2009, providing comprehensive, on-call engineering services that support the City’s infrastructure, operations, and long-term planning goals.

Our team delivers a full range of services, including staff augmentation, program and project management, design, construction management and inspection, and plan and map review. We support the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) through planning, funding assistance, and ongoing program management, as well as technical studies such as pavement management, traffic, and drainage analyses.

DCCM also plays a key role in development review and conditioning, encroachment permitting, and GIS-based asset management for the City’s sewer, storm drain, roadway, and striping systems. Our team prepares staff reports and regularly presents to City Council, Planning Commission, and other public committees, ensuring clear communication and informed decision-making.

We coordinate closely with regulatory and funding agencies, including Caltrans Local Assistance, Alameda County Transportation Commission (ACTC), and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), to help the City successfully navigate project approvals and funding requirements. In addition, DCCM provides Building & Safety services to support the City’s development and permitting processes.

Reflecting Piedmont’s strong commitment to bicycle and pedestrian mobility, all transportation projects incorporate Complete Streets principles. Improvements have included sidewalk upgrades and replacements, ADA-compliant curb ramps, intersection safety enhancements such as bulb-outs and rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RRFBs), raised pedestrian crossings, enhanced striping, and ADA upgrades within parks, creating safer, more accessible infrastructure for the community.
