Alexa Peterson

Alexa Peterson serves as the primary procurement lead for the City of Johnson City, overseeing the acquisition of specialized surveying and mapping services critical to the municipality’s infrastructure planning and public works initiatives. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of contracts related to geospatial data collection, topographic surveys, and land boundary delineation, ensuring alignment with municipal development goals and federal compliance standards. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to modernize water, sewer, and public space infrastructure through precise, data-driven site analysis and civil engineering support. Peterson is responsible for soliciting, evaluating, and awarding technical service contracts that inform capital improvement projects and regulatory permitting processes. Her contractor relationships are centered on professional surveying firms with expertise in LiDAR, GPS-based geodetic control, and GIS integration. She routinely engages with licensed land surveyors, photogrammetry specialists, and geospatial technology providers who hold state certifications and maintain current professional liability insurance. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she favors vendors with demonstrated experience in municipal-scale projects and a track record of delivering accurate, timely deliverables under tight public sector timelines. Peterson’s procurement strategy reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions issued without set-aside designations. This approach prioritizes technical capability and cost-effectiveness over socioeconomic classifications, ensuring the city secures the highest quality surveying services available in the regional market. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, vendors of all sizes compete on merit, with selection based on technical proposal rigor and past performance. Her primary focus is NAICS 541370—Surveying and Mapping (except Geophysical) Services—where she procures high-precision geospatial data collection, cadastral mapping, ALTA/NSPS surveys, and topographic contouring. She specializes in acquisitions that support utility corridor planning, stormwater drainage design, and park development, requiring compliance with FEMA, USGS, and state DOT standards. Her technical domain expertise lies in integrating survey outputs into municipal GIS platforms to enable long-term asset management and infrastructure resilience.
