Rodney Trujillo

Rodney Trujillo serves as a Civil Engineer within the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works, where he plays a pivotal role in the planning, evaluation, and procurement of critical infrastructure projects. His responsibilities include overseeing the technical assessment of capital improvement proposals, ensuring compliance with engineering standards, and supporting the acquisition process for water, sewer, and stormwater infrastructure systems. As a primary contracting point of contact, Trujillo ensures that procurement activities align with the agency’s mission to enhance public safety, resilience, and long-term infrastructure efficiency through strategically managed capital programs. He typically handles complex construction and engineering service acquisitions requiring rigorous technical review and performance-based contract management. Trujillo works closely with a broad spectrum of qualified contractors specializing in civil infrastructure, including general contractors, civil engineering consultants, and specialty subcontractors in pipeline installation, hydraulic modeling, and earthwork. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for experienced firms with demonstrated capacity in large-scale public works, often requiring bonding, licensure, and compliance with state and federal construction codes. He maintains collaborative, transparent relationships with vendors, emphasizing accountability, schedule adherence, and quality control throughout the contract lifecycle. Trujillo’s contracting profile shows no preference for socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of his acquisitions awarded under open competition. While he does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, his approach remains fully compliant with federal and county procurement regulations, ensuring fair and open access to all qualified bidders. His focus is on technical capability and performance rather than socioeconomic classifications. His primary procurement focus is centered on NAICS 237110 — Water and Sewer Line and Related Structures Construction — encompassing the design-build and construction management of potable water mains, sanitary sewers, storm drains, and related appurtenances. Trujillo brings deep expertise in trenchless technology, gravity flow systems, and stormwater retention infrastructure, ensuring acquisitions meet stringent environmental and public health standards.
