Alanna Gardner

Alanna Gardner serves as the primary procurement lead for the Pwr Pore Mabo (140P84) under the National Park Service, overseeing the acquisition of critical infrastructure services essential to the operational integrity of protected natural and cultural landscapes. She manages a diverse portfolio of construction and maintenance contracts focused on utilities, transportation systems, and environmental compliance assets, ensuring that all procurements align with federal standards for safety, sustainability, and resilience.

Gardner maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including ELECTRIC CRICKET, LLC, PACIFIC MARINE REPAIR, WHITE BEAR CONSTRUCTION, INC., GULF HOLDINGS, LLC, and WASTE CONNECTIONS OF CALIFORNIA, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in utility rehabilitation, marine infrastructure repair, site-specific construction, and waste management systems. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor reliability, technical proficiency in niche environmental contexts, and adherence to federal construction codes and preservation guidelines.
