Randy Crowder

Randy Crowder serves as Senior Project Manager within the Department of Public Works – Capital Project Management for Charles County, Maryland, where he leads the planning, design, and construction oversight of critical public infrastructure projects. His role encompasses the full lifecycle of capital acquisitions, from needs assessment and scope development through contract award and performance management. Crowder is instrumental in executing the agency’s mission to deliver resilient water, sewer, and community mobility systems that meet state and federal code requirements. He primarily manages engineering services procurements, ensuring technical rigor, environmental compliance, and public safety are embedded in every acquisition. Crowder collaborates with a network of licensed engineering firms and technical consultants specializing in civil, environmental, and municipal infrastructure design. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identified in the procurement record, his acquisitions consistently engage firms with proven expertise in hydrologic modeling, stormwater system design, and utility infrastructure planning. His working relationships are characterized by a focus on technical competency, past performance, and adherence to Maryland’s public works standards, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors capable of delivering complex, code-compliant solutions. Crowder’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions issued under non-set-aside authorities. There is no current utilization of 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic set-asides, indicating a procurement strategy prioritizing technical qualifications and project-specific expertise over socioeconomic criteria. This approach aligns with the agency’s emphasis on mission-critical infrastructure delivery and engineering integrity. His primary procurement focus is centered on NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), encompassing civil engineering, geotechnical analysis, environmental impact assessments, and stormwater management design. Crowder specializes in acquiring services related to water resource infrastructure, sanitary sewer upgrades, and sustainable drainage systems, demonstrating deep technical expertise in public works engineering and regulatory compliance frameworks.
