Ishoc Williams

Ishoc Williams serves as a Senior Capital Project Manager at the City of Richmond’s Public Works Agency, where he leads the planning, procurement, and execution of large-scale infrastructure projects critical to the city’s transportation network. In this primary role, he oversees the acquisition of construction services for roadway, bridge, and traffic control system upgrades, ensuring alignment with municipal resilience goals and federal compliance standards. His procurement activities center on design-build and construction-manager-at-risk delivery methods, with a strong emphasis on lifecycle cost analysis and performance-based contracting to deliver safe, durable public works outcomes. Williams maintains strategic relationships with a broad spectrum of civil construction contractors specializing in heavy highway and municipal infrastructure. He collaborates closely with general contractors, civil engineering firms, and specialized traffic signal installers, fostering collaborative partnerships grounded in competitive bidding, transparent evaluation criteria, and rigorous performance monitoring. His procurement approach prioritizes technical competency, safety records, and proven experience in urban construction environments, ensuring contractors meet stringent quality and scheduling benchmarks. Williams does not utilize socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of his procurements conducted under full and open competition. While he does not formally target 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, his procurement framework remains accessible to all qualified bidders, with evaluation criteria focused on technical merit, past performance, and operational capacity rather than socioeconomic status. His primary procurement focus is exclusively under NAICS 237310—Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction—reflecting deep expertise in civil infrastructure development. He procures services including asphalt paving, concrete bridge rehabilitation, signalization modernization, ADA-compliant sidewalk installations, and stormwater drainage integration, consistently applying industry best practices in project delivery and regulatory compliance.
