The Engineering and Operations Division is made up of the Offices of Engineering and Road & Bridge as well as the Adopt-a-County-Road Program , Pavement Management Program and Work Management Program.

The Work Management Program is a computerized software program that tracks all costs associated with the production of work including labor, equipment and material expenditures. The Work Management System also allows for the tracking of all citizen complaints and of road problems through resolution and completion.

The Pavement Management Program is a computerized software program that tracks the material condition of the roadways for the purpose of maintaining the existing paved road system in a safe and serviceable condition. All county paved roads are inspected on a periodic basis by trained personnel for their material condition and serviceability in accordance with an industry standard called A Present Serviceability Index or PSI rating. The pavement management software system analyzes the inspection data, computes the PSI rating, recommends a maintenance and repair strategy and computes an estimated cost to repair the road.
