Public Works Division

Public Works Division The Public Works Division (DPW) provides services to the County through the Departments of Engineering and Construction Management, Highway Operations, Facility Maintenance , Fleet Services , Professional Services, and Fiscal Services . Each has a unique focus, mission, and resources, but their shared goals ensure the physical assets of the County are well managed and maintained. DPW takes seriously its federally mandated first-responder role and has maintained 24/7 operations during the past year while observing COVID-19 protocols. DPW personnel have supported the County Administration and the Frederick County Health Department in confronting COVID-19 by organizing a temporary warehouse for the storage of PPE and later locating and negotiating the purchase of a permanent storage facility. They have also assisted in the establishment of a quarantine site and vaccination clinics.
