James Maiworm

James Maiworm serves as Assistant Director of Public Services for the City of Clermont’s Public Works department, where he oversees the planning, solicitation, and award of infrastructure-related contracts critical to municipal operations. In this primary procurement role, he is responsible for managing the lifecycle of construction and maintenance acquisitions aligned with the agency’s mission to ensure the safety, reliability, and longevity of public infrastructure. His portfolio primarily encompasses capital improvement projects involving transportation networks, utility systems, and public facilities, with a strong emphasis on competitive sealed bidding and performance-based contracting methods to achieve optimal public value. Maiworm maintains collaborative relationships with a network of qualified general contractors and specialty subcontractors experienced in civil construction and infrastructure rehabilitation. While no single contractor dominates his award portfolio, he consistently engages firms with demonstrated expertise in heavy highway construction, earthwork, drainage systems, and pavement restoration. His procurement approach prioritizes technical capability, past performance, and compliance with state and federal construction standards, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in accountability and quality assurance. Maiworm’s contracting strategy reflects a firm commitment to open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted under non-set-aside procedures. He does not utilize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, instead focusing on merit-based selection criteria that prioritize technical qualifications and operational readiness over socioeconomic classifications. This approach ensures broad market access while maintaining alignment with the agency’s infrastructure priorities. His procurement focus is exclusively centered on NAICS 237310—Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction—reflecting deep expertise in civil infrastructure projects. He routinely solicits services related to road resurfacing, culvert installation, bridge repair, stormwater management, and traffic control systems, requiring contractors with specialized knowledge in DOT-compliant specifications, construction sequencing, and public safety protocols during active roadway operations.
