AIA W. Albert Jacunski

AIA W. Albert Jacunski serves as a key procurement lead for the Montville Board of Education, overseeing the acquisition of critical infrastructure upgrades essential to maintaining safe, energy-efficient, and compliant educational environments. Responsible for managing construction and mechanical systems contracts, Jacunski ensures alignment with the district’s strategic goals of enhancing indoor air quality, thermal comfort, and building envelope integrity. His procurement portfolio primarily centers on commercial and institutional construction projects and HVAC system modernizations, requiring deep technical knowledge of building codes, mechanical system performance standards, and sustainability benchmarks. He works closely with facility managers and engineers to define scope, evaluate bids, and ensure compliance with state and federal procurement regulations. Jacunski maintains a vendor-neutral contracting approach, engaging with a broad range of qualified contractors without preference for any single firm. His procurement process emphasizes competitive bidding, technical capability assessments, and performance-based outcomes, fostering partnerships with licensed plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors as well as general contractors experienced in public school construction. He prioritizes contractors with proven track records in educational facility retrofits, ensuring work is delivered on schedule and within operational constraints. Jacunski’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under open competition. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize market competition and ensure value-driven outcomes, rather than relying on socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not mandated, vendors of all sizes are evaluated equally on technical merit, past performance, and compliance with safety and quality standards. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), underscoring expertise in building envelope repairs, ductwork replacement, boiler upgrades, and energy-efficient mechanical system installations. Jacunski’s technical acumen ensures that all procurements meet stringent educational facility standards for durability, safety, and long-term operational efficiency.
