Dane County Public Works: Building the Future Together

The Dane County Public Works Department is responsible for designing, bidding, and managing construction projects that enhance our community’s infrastructure. We act as consultants for all county engineering needs, from space planning to major development projects. Our team also provides recommendations for repairs, upgrades, and essential maintenance to keep county facilities safe, efficient, and sustainable.

Each year, we oversee the design and bidding of approximately 50 projects. Large-scale projects go through a formal Request for Bid (RFB) process, while smaller projects follow an informal quote process. For specialized consulting, architectural, or engineering services, we issue Requests for Proposals (RFPs).

We are committed to partnering with skilled contractors and vendors to bring these projects to life. To work with Dane County, contractors and subcontractors must be pre-qualified as a Best Value Contractor (BVC) before a contract is awarded. Click HERE to learn more about becoming a BVC.
