Westchester County Public Works is responsible for maintaining and modernizing the county’s critical public infrastructure and facilities to ensure safe, efficient, and resilient community services. Its core mission centers on the construction, repair, and operational support of municipal buildings, transportation surfaces, mechanical systems, and utility networks. Strategic priorities include upgrading aging infrastructure—particularly HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems—enhancing facility reliability across county-owned sites, and sustaining essential environmental services such as pest control, janitorial operations, and security systems. The agency prioritizes long-term asset lifecycle management through preventive maintenance and system replacements, with a strong emphasis on public safety and operational continuity.
The agency frequently procures specialized construction and maintenance services, primarily contracting electrical, plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning installation and repair, along with commercial building construction and rehabilitation. It also regularly engages service providers for janitorial, extermination, and security systems support, reflecting a holistic approach to facility operations. Contracts are typically issued as competitive solicitations without set-asides, favoring performance-based agreements with qualified trade contractors and service providers.
Primary procurement activity targets NAICS categories including electrical and HVAC contracting, commercial building construction, and infrastructure maintenance. The agency consistently engages vendors with expertise in mechanical systems, building envelope restoration, and utility line rehabilitation. While no set-asides are currently utilized, vendor relationships are built on technical competency, regulatory compliance, and proven track records in public-sector facility management.
Westchester County Public Works operates under the broader New York state government structure and serves all county-owned facilities and infrastructure within Westchester County. It utilizes open solicitation processes and performance-based contracts to procure services ranging from capital construction to ongoing facility support, ensuring public assets remain functional, code-compliant, and service-ready.
