Alex Ngo

Alex Ngo serves as a procurement specialist within the Los Angeles Public Works, Engineering Bureau, supporting the planning and execution of civil infrastructure projects through targeted acquisition strategies. Responsible for managing the solicitation, evaluation, and award of contracts for public works services, Alex ensures alignment with the Bureau’s mission of maintaining resilient, safe, and environmentally compliant infrastructure. Their procurement focus centers on landscaping services, where they oversee the acquisition of site preparation, vegetation management, erosion control, and hardscape installation contracts essential to public right-of-way and facility maintenance. Alex plays a critical role in translating engineering specifications into enforceable contract requirements that uphold municipal standards and long-term asset sustainability. Alex works with a broad network of licensed landscape contractors, civil engineering firms, and environmental service providers who deliver site-specific solutions for urban infrastructure corridors. While no single contractor dominates their portfolio, Alex consistently engages with firms possessing expertise in native plant installation, stormwater management systems, and sustainable irrigation technologies. Their working relationships emphasize performance-based outcomes, compliance with Caltrans and LADWP standards, and adherence to integrated pest management protocols, fostering vendor partnerships grounded in technical competency and regulatory alignment. Alex’s procurement activity is exclusively non-set-aside, with 100% of contracts awarded under general competition without socioeconomic preferences such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB designations. This reflects a strategic focus on technical capability and cost-effectiveness over socioeconomic targeting, consistent with the Bureau’s infrastructure-wide operational priorities. While small business participation is not formally incentivized, qualified small firms are eligible and compete on equal footing based on technical merit and past performance. The primary NAICS category under Alex’s purview is 561730 (Landscaping Services), encompassing all aspects of grounds maintenance, irrigation system installation, tree preservation, and stormwater-compatible landscaping. Their technical expertise lies in procuring services that support infrastructure resilience, including permeable pavements, bioswales, and drought-tolerant horticulture—critical components in Los Angeles’s climate-adaptive public works strategy.
