Yat Cho

Yat Cho serves as Senior Project Manager for the City of Morgan Hill, overseeing the planning, procurement, and execution of critical public infrastructure projects aligned with the agency’s mission to ensure safe, sustainable, and efficient municipal services. In this role, Cho leads the acquisition lifecycle for capital improvement initiatives, including water and sewer system upgrades, commercial and institutional building construction, and related material procurement. They coordinate closely with engineering, finance, and operations teams to align contracting strategies with long-term infrastructure resilience goals, ensuring compliance with state and federal procurement regulations while prioritizing project deliverables that enhance public health and environmental stewardship. Cho’s contracting patterns reflect a broad-based approach to vendor engagement, with no preference for set-aside programs—100% of acquisitions are open to all qualified contractors. This reflects a strategic focus on competitive bidding and value-driven outcomes rather than socioeconomic targeting. While no specific contractor relationships are currently highlighted in the procurement record, Cho consistently engages with general contractors, specialty subcontractors, and material suppliers capable of delivering complex civil and building construction services under tight municipal timelines and regulatory standards. The procurement portfolio is heavily concentrated in three NAICS categories: Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (236220), Water and Sewer Line Construction (237110), and Brick, Stone, and Related Material Wholesaling (423320). This underscores Cho’s technical expertise in civil infrastructure, structural construction, and material supply chain management. Their work demands deep familiarity with construction specifications, bid evaluation criteria, and performance-based contract administration, ensuring that all procurements meet stringent quality, safety, and durability benchmarks for public use.
