Alec Johnson

Alec Johnson serves as a key procurement lead within the City of Fort Wayne’s Public Works and Infrastructure Division, overseeing the acquisition of civil construction services critical to the city’s transportation and utility resilience goals. His role centers on managing competitive bidding processes for highway, street, and bridge construction projects, ensuring compliance with state and federal procurement regulations while aligning expenditures with long-term infrastructure modernization plans. He routinely handles firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contracts for large-scale public works initiatives, coordinating with engineering, environmental, and project management teams to define technical specifications and performance requirements. Johnson’s contractor relationships are primarily with general contractors and specialty civil construction firms experienced in municipal infrastructure delivery. He engages with vendors capable of executing complex earthwork, pavement rehabilitation, stormwater management, and structural bridge work under strict public safety and environmental standards. His procurement approach emphasizes pre-qualified contractor lists, bid evaluation based on technical merit and past performance, and rigorous contract administration to ensure adherence to project timelines and quality benchmarks. Johnson’s contracting activity shows no preference for socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. While he does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, his process remains transparent and accessible to all qualified bidders, reflecting the agency’s focus on technical capability and cost-effectiveness over socioeconomic criteria. His primary procurement focus is NAICS 237310—Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction—encompassing road resurfacing, culvert installation, drainage system upgrades, and traffic control infrastructure. He specializes in procuring services involving asphalt and concrete paving, geotechnical stabilization, and stormwater retention systems, demonstrating deep familiarity with DOT standards and federal highway safety guidelines. His domain expertise lies in delivering durable, sustainable civil infrastructure that supports the city’s growth and climate resilience objectives.
