Jerry Washington

Jerry Washington serves as a Consultant Project Manager for the Pinellas County Public Works Agency, where he leads the planning, solicitation, and execution of critical infrastructure procurement initiatives. In this primary role, he ensures alignment between engineering objectives and contract delivery, managing acquisitions for highway, bridge, and public works projects that support the agency’s mission of resilient, sustainable infrastructure. He oversees the full lifecycle of procurement activities—from needs assessment and RFP development to contract award and performance monitoring—typically handling complex, multi-phase construction and engineering service contracts requiring stringent compliance with state and federal standards. While no specific contractor relationships are currently documented, Washington engages with a broad spectrum of qualified vendors, including large-scale civil construction firms and specialized engineering consultants, fostering collaborative partnerships grounded in technical competency and regulatory adherence. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, requiring contractors to demonstrate proven experience in public infrastructure delivery, safety compliance, and project scheduling discipline. Washington’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions issued under non-set-aside provisions. He does not routinely utilize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, instead prioritizing technical capability and value-driven outcomes in a competitive marketplace. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction) and NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), reflecting deep expertise in civil infrastructure development. He routinely procures services including pavement rehabilitation, bridge retrofitting, hydraulic engineering, geotechnical analysis, and construction management, ensuring projects meet Florida Department of Transportation standards and environmental sustainability benchmarks. His domain knowledge spans project delivery methods such as design-bid-build and design-build, with a consistent emphasis on lifecycle cost efficiency and public safety.
