Alexander Church

Alexander Church serves as a procurement lead for the City of Newburgh, overseeing strategic acquisitions aligned with the agency’s mission to sustain critical municipal infrastructure and public services. Focused exclusively on environmental consulting services, he manages the solicitation, evaluation, and award of contracts for environmental assessments, remediation planning, water quality analysis, and compliance monitoring. His role is central to ensuring that the city’s public works and sanitation initiatives meet state and federal regulatory standards through technically sound, evidence-based consulting support. He works closely with engineering firms, environmental scientists, and regulatory specialists to deliver projects that enhance community resilience and environmental stewardship. Church’s contracting patterns reflect a preference for open, unrestricted competition, with 100% of procurements conducted under non-set-aside conditions. He does not prioritize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, instead emphasizing technical capability, past performance, and compliance with environmental standards as the primary evaluation criteria. This approach ensures the selection of vendors with the deepest domain expertise, regardless of business size or certification status. His procurement portfolio is narrowly concentrated in NAICS 541620, Environmental Consulting Services, encompassing soil and groundwater investigations, hazardous material assessments, stormwater management planning, and environmental impact studies. He consistently seeks consultants with specialized credentials in New York State environmental regulations, including DEC permitting expertise and experience with brownfield redevelopment. His contracting decisions prioritize firms with proven track records in municipal environmental compliance, ensuring that all projects deliver actionable, defensible data to support public health and infrastructure integrity.
