Alexa Hendricks

Alexa Hendricks serves as a procurement lead for Las Virgenes Municipal Water District, overseeing the acquisition of critical water infrastructure assets and services essential to public health and environmental sustainability. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of contracts related to water supply systems and civil construction, ensuring compliance with state and federal procurement regulations. Her responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts for the construction, rehabilitation, and operational maintenance of pipelines, storage facilities, and wastewater treatment infrastructure. She plays a pivotal role in advancing the agency’s mission to modernize aging systems and enhance long-term resilience through strategic, transparent contracting practices. While specific contractor relationships are not currently documented, Hendricks engages with a broad spectrum of qualified vendors specializing in water utility construction and engineering services. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical competency, regulatory compliance, and performance reliability, fostering partnerships with firms experienced in hydraulic modeling, trenchless technology, and EPA-compliant wastewater solutions. She maintains a vendor-neutral stance, prioritizing value, safety, and long-term system integrity over preferential treatment. Hendricks’ contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of procurements designated as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on merit-based selection rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through set-asides, her office may still consider small firms through standard competitive bidding processes. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 221310 (Water Supply and Irrigation Systems) and 237110 (Water and Sewer Line and Related Structures Construction), reflecting deep expertise in potable water distribution, gravity-fed conveyance systems, and non-pressure pipeline rehabilitation. She routinely procures services involving pipe replacement, pump station upgrades, reservoir lining, and SCADA system integration, demonstrating specialized knowledge in water utility engineering and infrastructure lifecycle management.
