A Collaborative Partner Serving Local Communities

When it comes to municipal partnerships, our definition of “success” includes more than just project completion. It even goes beyond budget and schedule. That’s because local infrastructure impacts more than just the governing bodies in charge of maintaining and improving it. It drives economic growth and affects the quality of life for everyday citizens and taxpayers — before, during, and after the project is completed.

As a contractor, our responsibility at ESS is to provide seamless project solutions that improve life for all stakeholders. Our goal is always to be as inclusive and cooperative as possible, while driving schedule and efficiency at every stage.

Highlights

How We Serve Our Municipal Partners

Stakeholder Collaboration
Every Voice Heard

From municipal agencies to the taxpaying public, we make careful efforts to involve all known project stakeholders for maximum input and project satisfaction.

Public Safety Assurance
Guardians of the People

Our safety experts work with project teams and owners to form thorough traffic control plans that mitigate potential hazards and ensure the safe flow of vehicles through our construction sites.

Project Transparency
No Smoke, No Mirrors

We’re firm believers in over-communication. From regular public involvement meetings to project updates in the form of mass texts and digital alerts (and even analog updates like door hangers), we go out of our way to keep everyone informed of our work.

Quality for Reduced Maintenance
Long-Lasting Excellence

We don’t just save our clients today, we save them tomorrow by delivering high-quality work that stands the test of time. We go above and beyond to recommend alternative products and adjust project specifications for added durability.

Frequently asked questions

Have more questions about our municipal work?

  • Does ESS perform ongoing maintenance contracts for municipalities?

    Yes, we welcome the opportunity to contribute to communities and form long-term relationships with municipal partners.

  • How does ESS approach municipal projects differently than other client types?

    Understanding the large number of stakeholders when dealing with municipal work, we want to make sure we’re working collaboratively while also being good stewards of public resources — giving the public the resources they need, and the performance they deserve.

  • Does ESS work with municipalities outside of the company's permanent locations?

    Yes! We have dedicated relationships with our hometown teams, but we’re willing to serve communities for the right projects, adding value wherever we can.

  • Does ESS ever perform emergency repairs for municipalities?

    We do! We have a deep bench of resources that we draw upon to perform emergency repairs on underground utilities like water mains, sewer restoration, and other aspects of civil infrastructure.

  • How does your company give back to the communities where you work?

    If we’re going to work in the backyard of a community, we believe we have have a responsibility to give back. We make it a point to serve the communities in which we work by organizing community service events, donating time and materials to select causes, and volunteering efforts.
