Alec Jones

Alec Jones serves as a key procurement lead for the Lamoille County Planning Commission, overseeing acquisitions aligned with the agency’s mission of climate-resilient infrastructure and sustainable land use. In his role, he manages the full lifecycle of contracts for public works projects, with a primary focus on civil construction initiatives that enhance watershed health, floodplain restoration, and community safety. His procurement activities center on engineering-driven infrastructure upgrades, ensuring compliance with state and federal environmental standards while advancing long-term resilience goals. Jones is instrumental in translating planning priorities into actionable procurement strategies that support county-wide infrastructure modernization. While no contractor relationships are currently documented in the system, Jones’s procurement pattern indicates a consistent reliance on qualified civil construction firms with demonstrated expertise in hydraulic engineering, erosion control, and flood bypass system installation. He engages vendors through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated contracts, prioritizing technical capability, environmental compliance, and proven performance in similar public works environments. His approach favors vendors with experience in Vermont’s unique topographical and climatic conditions, fostering long-term partnerships with contractors familiar with state-specific permitting and ecological mitigation requirements. Jones does not utilize any socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of procurements conducted under open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on technical merit and project-specific qualifications over socioeconomic classifications, aligning with the commission’s emphasis on mission-critical infrastructure outcomes. While small business participation is not formally incentivized, qualified small firms are encouraged to compete on equal footing through transparent, standards-based evaluation criteria. His procurement activity is exclusively concentrated in NAICS 237310—Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction—reflecting deep specialization in civil infrastructure projects that integrate flood resilience, stormwater management, and climate-adaptive design. He procures services related to earthmoving, culvert installation, riprap work, and engineered channel realignment, requiring contractors with expertise in geomorphology, hydrologic modeling, and erosion control systems. Jones’s technical acumen ensures that all acquisitions directly support the agency’s objective of building infrastructure that withstands extreme weather events while preserving ecological integrity.
