The primary contact for the Minnesota Department of Administration serves as a key procurement lead responsible for managing capital infrastructure contracts related to public works and state facility maintenance. In this role, they oversee the acquisition of water and sewer line construction services, ensuring compliance with state standards for public safety, environmental sustainability, and long-term infrastructure resilience. Their responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts under the State’s procurement code, coordinating with engineering and facilities teams to align contractual deliverables with capital improvement plans, and ensuring adherence to federal and state regulatory frameworks for public works projects. Contractor relationships are primarily with civil construction firms specializing in underground utility installation, stormwater management, and sanitary sewer rehabilitation. While no single contractor dominates the award landscape, the contact consistently engages with a diverse pool of qualified general contractors and specialty subcontractors experienced in heavy civil infrastructure. Work is typically executed through competitive sealed bidding, with a preference for firms demonstrating proven experience in state-funded projects and adherence to prevailing wage requirements under Minnesota’s Public Works Act. This contact does not utilize any socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of procurements conducted as full and open competitions. There is no formal preference for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other small business designations, reflecting a procurement strategy focused on technical capability, past performance, and cost-effectiveness rather than socioeconomic targeting. The contact’s procurement portfolio is exclusively focused on NAICS 237110—Water and Sewer Line and Related Structures Construction. This includes the design-build and construction management of potable water mains, wastewater collection systems, storm drains, pumping stations, and associated appurtenances. Their technical expertise lies in municipal utility infrastructure, with deep familiarity in trenchless technologies, pipe rehabilitation methods, and compliance with EPA and MnDOT standards for public water systems.
