David Markowski

David Markowski serves as an Associate Civil Engineer within the Department of Public Works, County of Sacramento, where he plays a pivotal role in the planning, evaluation, and procurement of civil infrastructure projects. Responsible for technical oversight of highway, street, and bridge construction acquisitions, he ensures compliance with state and federal engineering standards while aligning contract requirements with the agency’s mission of enhancing public mobility and safety. His procurement activities center on design-build and construction-manager-at-risk delivery methods, with a focus on long-term infrastructure resilience and regulatory adherence. Markowski collaborates closely with qualified civil construction contractors specializing in heavy highway and bridge rehabilitation, maintaining a vendor ecosystem of experienced firms with proven track records in public works delivery. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages with contractors possessing robust safety records, advanced equipment fleets, and experience in complex earthwork, pavement systems, and structural concrete applications. His working relationships are built on technical rigor, performance accountability, and transparent bid evaluation processes. His procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions issued without set-aside designations. This approach underscores a commitment to selecting the most technically capable and cost-effective proposers, regardless of socioeconomic status, while still ensuring full compliance with federal and state small business participation goals through subcontracting opportunities. Markowski’s technical expertise is concentrated in NAICS 237310—Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction—where he manages the full lifecycle of public works procurements, from preliminary engineering through construction administration. His domain includes asphalt and concrete pavement systems, drainage structures, bridge decks, retaining walls, and traffic control installations, requiring deep familiarity with Caltrans standards, MUTCD guidelines, and environmental mitigation protocols.
