Alan Barga

Alan Barga serves as a procurement liaison for the City of Piqua, supporting the agency’s mission to maintain and renew critical municipal infrastructure through strategic acquisition planning. While his official title is not publicly listed, his role centers on managing capital improvement contracts related to public works, including road and bridge preservation, site preparation, and civic facility upkeep. He handles a diverse portfolio of procurement actions under federal and state compliance frameworks, ensuring alignment with local infrastructure priorities and operational sustainability goals. His responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts for both goods and services essential to municipal resilience. Contractor relationships are broad and non-exclusive, with no dominant vendors emerging in available records. Barga engages with a wide range of vendors, from local specialty contractors to regional suppliers, favoring competitive sealed bidding and request for proposal (RFP) processes to ensure transparency and value. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, particularly in infrastructure maintenance and site development, fostering partnerships with firms capable of delivering durable, code-compliant solutions under tight municipal timelines. Barga’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of procurements designated as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on technical capability and cost-effectiveness over socioeconomic preferences, though small businesses are not excluded—only not formally prioritized through designated set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. His approach aligns with the agency’s operational pragmatism, prioritizing delivery reliability over socioeconomic targeting. His primary procurement focus lies in two distinct NAICS categories: 334416 for electronic components used in municipal control systems and 561730 for landscaping and grounds maintenance services. These reflect a dual emphasis on technical infrastructure—such as traffic signal components or utility control hardware—and aesthetic and environmental stewardship of public spaces. His expertise spans both hardware procurement and service contract management in municipal engineering contexts.
