Jeremy Zuber

Jeremy Zuber serves as a procurement lead for Sacramento County Waste Management and Recycling, overseeing the acquisition of specialized electrical infrastructure critical to the county’s waste-to-energy and landfill gas management systems. In this role, he ensures compliance with state environmental regulations while advancing the agency’s mission of sustainable waste stewardship through technically rigorous contracting. His portfolio centers on the design, installation, and maintenance of high-voltage electrical systems, methane capture infrastructure, and real-time monitoring networks essential to landfill operations and emissions control. He manages full lifecycle procurements—from needs analysis and RFP development to contract award and performance oversight—prioritizing reliability, regulatory alignment, and long-term operational resilience. Zuber collaborates with a network of licensed electrical contractors and industrial systems integrators experienced in hazardous environment installations, particularly those familiar with EPA and CEC standards for landfill gas extraction and control systems. His vendor partnerships are characterized by technical specificity, with contractors required to demonstrate proven experience in Class I, Division 2 electrical environments and compliance with NFPA 70 and OSHA 1910.303. Relationships are typically long-term, built on performance history and adherence to stringent safety and documentation protocols. Zuber’s procurement strategy reflects a uniform focus on open competition, with 100% of solicitations designated as non-set-aside. While he does not prioritize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, his process emphasizes technical qualification over socioeconomic classification, ensuring that only contractors with demonstrated expertise in hazardous waste site electrical systems are eligible. His primary procurement focus is NAICS 238210—Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors—reflecting deep specialization in high-capacity wiring, grounding systems, explosion-proof enclosures, and SCADA-integrated monitoring for methane collection. He consistently procures turnkey solutions for LFG plant retrofits, substation upgrades, and instrumentation wiring for environmental compliance systems, underscoring his domain expertise in the intersection of environmental engineering and industrial electrical infrastructure.
