A. Harms

A. Harms serves as a Government Official with primary responsibility for overseeing procurement activities within Bullhead City’s Infrastructure and Public Works Division. In this capacity, Harms manages the acquisition of civil engineering and transportation infrastructure projects critical to regional mobility and public safety, with a strategic focus on highway, street, and bridge construction along key corridors such as SR 95 and Marina Boulevard. Harms plays a central role in aligning procurement decisions with the city’s broader mission to enhance community resilience through durable, high-capacity public works. Their portfolio includes competitively bid construction contracts, engineering services, and related materials procurement under federal and state compliance frameworks, ensuring adherence to environmental and safety standards. Harms maintains a vendor-neutral contracting approach, engaging with a broad spectrum of qualified contractors without preferential treatment to specific firms. While no single contractor dominates award patterns, Harms consistently selects proposers based on technical capability, past performance, and compliance with bid specifications. The working relationship model emphasizes transparency, competitive bidding, and rigorous contract administration, fostering a level playing field for firms capable of delivering complex civil works projects under tight municipal timelines. Harms’ procurement strategy reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations. This indicates a deliberate focus on maximizing value and contractor capacity over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing project outcomes and delivery reliability over targeted small business participation. While no 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides are utilized, all procurements remain fully compliant with federal and state small business participation requirements. The primary technical domain centers on NAICS categories related to highway and street construction, bridge building, and civil engineering services. Harms specializes in procuring heavy construction, earthwork, drainage systems, and related infrastructure improvements, demonstrating deep familiarity with federal construction standards, DOT specifications, and sustainable civil works practices. Their expertise ensures that Bullhead City’s transportation network evolves to meet growing regional demands while maintaining long-term structural integrity.
