Winnebago County’s mission centers on maintaining public infrastructure integrity, ensuring environmental safety, and supporting community health through targeted remediation and construction services. The agency prioritizes the safe removal of hazardous materials—particularly lead abatement in residential structures—as a cornerstone of its public health initiative, while simultaneously investing in the rehabilitation and expansion of transportation networks, water and sewer systems, and municipal buildings. Strategic priorities include aging infrastructure modernization, environmental compliance, and the preservation of public safety through proactive maintenance of roads, bridges, and utilities. Programs emphasize long-term resilience, with a strong focus on hazardous waste remediation, stormwater management, and the upkeep of county-owned facilities.
The agency frequently procures remediation services, highway and utility construction, plumbing and HVAC systems, and building maintenance support. Contracts are typically awarded through competitive solicitation processes without set-asides, indicating an emphasis on technical capability and compliance over socioeconomic preferences. Procurement vehicles include direct solicitations for specialized trade work, with recurring needs in environmental cleanup, structural repairs, and facility operations support.
Primary procurement targets include Remediation Services (562910), Highway and Bridge Construction (237310), Plumbing and HVAC Contractors (238220), and Building Maintenance Services (561790). The agency consistently engages vendors with expertise in hazardous material handling, concrete and asphalt infrastructure, and industrial building systems. While no set-asides are utilized, vendor selection favors firms with demonstrated experience in public-sector environmental and civil works projects.
Winnebago County operates under the State of Wisconsin and serves as the primary governing body for public infrastructure and environmental services across its jurisdiction. The agency manages a broad portfolio of capital improvement and maintenance contracts, utilizing standard public bidding and competitive negotiation processes to secure qualified contractors for civil, environmental, and facility-related work.
