Alexa Peterson

Alexa Peterson serves as the primary procurement lead for the City of Johnson City, overseeing the acquisition of landscaping and grounds maintenance services critical to the municipality’s public infrastructure and community resilience goals. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of contracting activities—from needs assessment and solicitation development to contract award and performance monitoring—ensuring alignment with the city’s strategic priorities in sustainable urban development and public space enhancement. Her acquisitions are predominantly focused on civil landscaping services that support park maintenance, stormwater management, and the beautification of municipal facilities, directly contributing to environmental stewardship and quality-of-life initiatives. Peterson works closely with a network of local and regional landscaping contractors who specialize in hardscaping, irrigation system installation, native plant integration, and seasonal grounds upkeep. While no single vendor dominates her portfolio, she fosters long-term, performance-based partnerships with firms capable of delivering consistent, high-quality services across multiple city-owned properties. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, compliance with municipal codes, and adaptive service delivery to meet seasonal and climate-driven demands. Her procurement patterns show a strict preference for open competition, with 100% of awards issued under non-set-aside conditions, reflecting a focus on value, capacity, and technical competency over socioeconomic classifications. Though she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her process remains transparent and accessible to all qualified vendors, ensuring broad market participation. Peterson’s technical expertise centers on NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services), where she specializes in procuring comprehensive grounds management solutions including turf maintenance, erosion control, tree and shrub care, and landscape design implementation. Her domain knowledge extends to sustainable landscaping practices, low-impact development standards, and utility-compatible site work, making her a key steward of the city’s green infrastructure investments.
