SERVICE DELIVERY
One of the City’s primary functions is service delivery. The following information provides a brief narrative of each department
and the primary functions of the departments. Also included are some recent awards received.

Asset Management includes Building Design and Construction, Facility Services, Fleet Services, Solid Waste & Recycling,
and Code Compliance. Asset Management is responsible for assets owned and controlled by the City, including libraries,
recreation centers, public safety facilities and sanitary landfill. Asset Management works in partnership with departments to
ensure effective stewardship of assets to deliver services. Asset Management also oversees revenue collection for two landfill
contracts and the garbage and recycling franchise agreement.

Building Design and Construction manages vertical
construction. In FY 2024, the team completed the Fire Station
No. 1 Rebuild in Downtown Arlington. The team also is
managing other capital projects like the Active Adult Center, Fire
Station No. 8 Rebuild, Police North Substation/Evidence
Storage & Crime Lab as well as major remodels of the City
Tower, Ott Cribbs Public Safety Center, and Arlington Tennis
Center. The total design and construction values of these
projects is about $104 Million.

Facility Services is responsible for facilities totaling over 2
million square feet. The team repairs and maintains building interior and exteriors, and major building components such as
electrical systems, elevators, fire alarm systems, generators, HVAC, and plumbing. An in-house carpentry shop builds custom
cabinetry, furniture, and specialty fixtures. The team completes nearly 3,000 work order requests each year.

Fleet Services is responsible for the purchase, maintenance, repair, and disposal of fleet assets. The Fleet team manages the
City’s fleet maintenance contract of about 1,000 vehicles and pieces of equipment. The contractor averages about 10,000 work
orders a year. The contractor is also responsible for upfitting and decommissioning vehicles and equipment. In FY 2024, Fleet

Solid Waste & Recycling manages the Republic Services contract for garbage
and recycling collection for about 100,000 homes and 4,500 businesses. In FY
2023, the City transitioned to weekly collection of garbage using trash carts.
Also in FY 2023, the City continued to provide residents with single-stream
recycling as part of curbside collection, as well as monthly events for household
hazardous waste disposal and annual events for e-waste and paper shredding.
For FY 2023, the revenue from this contract totaled about $2.4 Million.

Solid Waste & Recycling also manages contracts for the City’s 800-acre landfill
and a gas-to-energy facility. The landfill accepts nearly 1 million tons of waste
each year. A gas-to-energy facility extracts the landfill gas and converts it into
natural gas which is enough to power over 5,000 homes. Mulching and concrete
recycling diverts from the landfill over 250,000 tons of concrete and over 50,000
cubic yards of green waste annually. In FY 2023, the landfill gross revenues
totaled about $5.8 Million, and the landfill gas-to-energy facility generated
nearly $1.2 Million in revenue for the City.
