Gwinnett Commissioners recently awarded Mauldin & Jenkins, LLC, a $291,984 contract to perform an operational review for the county.

The assessment will look at how services are currently run, how they can become more effective and what can be done to make them more efficient. The goal is to understand the workflow of county employees and ensure county funds are being spent efficiently.

“With this review, the board will compare the county to other local governments best practices.,” said Chairwoman Hendrickson. “This review will examine how we deliver services to the residents and will help identify both strengths and challenges, modifications, enhancements and any investments necessary to meet future demand.”

The review will examine county departments and their organization, strategic initiatives, key business practices and technology use, while developing a current state of operations and providing a blueprint to enable positive change and optimize the department’s operations.
