Alana Hernandez

Alana Hernandez serves as a procurement professional within the City of Corona, supporting the agency’s mission to modernize public infrastructure and enhance municipal operations through strategic acquisitions. She manages the planning, solicitation, and award of professional services contracts aligned with capital improvement initiatives, including transportation upgrades, ADA compliance enhancements, and water/sewer system modernization. Her work ensures that procurement activities align with municipal priorities for resilient infrastructure and equitable public service delivery, focusing on high-impact, mission-critical contracts that require technical expertise and long-term operational sustainability. Her contractor relationships center on administrative and facilities support service providers, engaging a broad spectrum of qualified vendors with demonstrated capacity in public-sector project execution. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently partners with firms offering integrated management consulting and facilities operations services, favoring those with experience in municipal governance, regulatory compliance, and performance-based contracting. Her approach emphasizes vendor reliability, past performance, and alignment with city-wide strategic goals over transactional engagements. Hernandez’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations. This indicates a focus on broad market engagement and value-driven selection rather than socioeconomic targeting, though she remains compliant with all federal and state small business participation requirements. Her approach prioritizes competitive fairness and transparency, ensuring that all qualified vendors—regardless of size or certification—have equal opportunity to compete for city contracts. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services) and NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services), reflecting her specialization in operational efficiency, process optimization, and facility maintenance support. She procures services such as strategic planning, asset management, compliance auditing, and municipal facility operations, demonstrating deep expertise in public-sector administrative systems and infrastructure lifecycle management.
