Department of Public Works Featured Projects

The Department of Public Works (DPW) provides efficient, economical, and responsive infrastructure systems and maintenance; facility engineering, design, development, and maintenance; and utilities and environmental services for the County of San Mateo. These services ensure safe, cost effective, accessible, and attractive County facilities that benefit the community as well as County employees and clients of County agencies. During the COVID-19 global pandemic, beginning in March, 2020, the availability of materials, enhanced personal protective equipment, and shelter-in-place orders slowed but did not stop DPW's Capital Projects program. The department met the challenge to safely continue making progress toward completing vital capital projects throughout the County. DPW's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) reflects the Board of Supervisors' ongoing commitment to long-term investment in the County's infrastructure and to provide the highest quality facilities to residents.

Proposed Middlefield Road Project

The plan is both a short- and long-term plan for the development, maintenance, improvement, and renovation of the County’s infrastructure. The annual investment in the capital program is designed to support all communities in the County through the beautification, rejuvenation, removal of barriers, and enhancement of the County's assets. Over the next five years, the need for substantial infrastructure investment is expected to focus on the buildings most needed and accessed by the public with an emphasis on safety and accessibility. Projects included in the five-year DPW CIP include: environmental and conservation projects, improvements to public buildings and parks, and projects from the Facilities Condition Index System (FCIS). FCIS provides an annual recommendation of facility projects, funded by Non-Departmental Services, to keep County-owned building infrastructure in safe and operable condition, and to maintain and extend the useful life of the facilities.

The DPW CIP is created in a series of steps that engage various planning documents, infrastructure maintenance, repair plans, and forecasting. Through a “Call for Projects,” departments submit proposed projects, including: project scope, justification, funding requirements and source(s), estimated budget, and impact on operational and energy costs. DPW performs the initial evaluation on the proposed projects, utilizing consultants, cost estimators, and design professionals to determine budget, available resources, and estimated schedules. Once a draft list of projects is prepared, a subcommittee of evaluators, consisting of department heads or their designees, provides input and recommends prioritization. The group provides a final recommendation for adoption to the County Manager’s Office, which assigns a source of funding for projects. The projects selected are incorporated into the DPW CIP, and the first two fiscal years are recommended for approval to the Board of Supervisors.
