            using (SPWeb oWeb = SPContext.Current.Site.OpenWeb("/"))
            {
                SPWeb mySite = SPContext.Current.Web;
                mySite.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
                SPListItemCollection listItems = mySite.Lists["AuditLogCalculatedData"].Items;
                int itemCount = listItems.Count;

                for (int k = 0; k < itemCount; k++)

Webpart is an UI element. TimerJobs doesn't show any interface. What exactly do you want to achieve? What do you want your timer job to do? — Janis Veinbergs

This is the sample code which can be executed on FeatureActivated event

public override void FeatureActivated (SPFeatureReceiverProperties props) {
  SPWebApplication webApp = props.Feature.Parent as SPWebApplication;
  if (webApp == null)
    throw new SPException("Error obtaining reference to Web application.");

  // Ensure the job is not already registered.
  foreach (SPJobDefinition job in webApp.JobDefinitions)
    if (job.Name == JOB_NAME) job.Delete();

  // Install job.
  SharePointWarmupJob warmupJob = new SharePointWarmupJob(webApplication);

  // Schedule the job to run every minute all the time.
  SPMinuteSchedule schedule = new SPMinuteSchedule();
  schedule.BeginSecond = 0;
  schedule.EndSecond = 59;
  schedule.Interval = 1;
  warmupJob.Schedule = schedule;

  // Save changes.
  warmupJob.Update();
}
