A. Erskine

A. Erskine serves as a Parks and Recreation Department Employee within Teton County, responsible for managing procurement activities related to facility maintenance and operational support services. In this role, Erskine plays a critical part in advancing the agency’s mission to maintain public spaces, ensure environmental sustainability, and deliver safe, clean recreational amenities to residents. Their procurement focus centers on janitorial and custodial services, ensuring that county parks, community centers, and public facilities meet stringent hygiene and operational standards. Erskine handles low-to-mid-tier service contracts, often coordinating with vendors to deliver routine cleaning, waste management, and sanitation support under fixed-price and task-order arrangements. Erskine’s contractor relationships are primarily with local and regional janitorial service providers, many of which are small, family-owned businesses with proven track records in municipal facility maintenance. While no single contractor dominates the award profile, Erskine consistently engages vendors with demonstrated expertise in eco-friendly cleaning protocols, equipment maintenance, and compliance with state environmental regulations. Working relationships are characterized by long-term service agreements, performance-based evaluations, and responsive vendor collaboration to address seasonal demands and facility-specific needs. Erskine’s procurement approach reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of contracts awarded under non-set-aside procedures. While there is no formal preference for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB certifications, the agency’s emphasis on local service providers naturally supports small business participation through community-based contracting. This approach aligns with Teton County’s broader goal of fostering economic resilience through regional vendor engagement rather than socioeconomic set-asides. The primary NAICS classification under Erskine’s purview is 561720 (Janitorial Services), reflecting exclusive focus on custodial and facility support contracts. This includes procurement of cleaning supplies, specialized equipment, and contracted labor for high-traffic public areas. Erskine possesses deep technical expertise in service-level agreement design, performance metrics for sanitation standards, and compliance with OSHA and EPA guidelines, ensuring all contracted services meet public health benchmarks.
