Alexander Fidrych

Alexander Fidrych serves as the Point of Contact for the Water Department of the City of Philadelphia, playing a central role in the procurement and contract administration of critical water and wastewater infrastructure projects. He facilitates the acquisition of construction services essential to maintaining and modernizing the city’s aging water mains, sewer lines, and related hydraulic structures. His responsibilities include managing solicitation processes, evaluating technical proposals, ensuring regulatory compliance with state and federal environmental standards, and coordinating with engineering and operations teams to align contracting outcomes with the department’s strategic resilience goals. Fidrych’s work directly supports the agency’s mission to safeguard public health through reliable, sustainable water services. Fidrych collaborates with a broad range of civil construction contractors specializing in water and sewer line installation, trenchless technologies, and pipeline rehabilitation. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages firms with proven experience in municipal infrastructure, including those certified in Pennsylvania’s public works programs. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established contractors with demonstrated technical competency in complex utility projects, often requiring coordination with utility locates, environmental permits, and traffic management plans. Fidrych’s procurement activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects the agency’s operational focus on technical capability and project urgency over socioeconomic preferences, though small businesses are not excluded—they compete on equal footing based on qualifications and past performance. His primary procurement focus is exclusively on NAICS 237110—Water and Sewer Line and Related Structures Construction. He specializes in acquiring services related to pipe replacement, valve station upgrades, hydrant installations, and non-destructive inspection technologies. Fidrych possesses deep domain expertise in municipal water system lifecycle management and understands the engineering and regulatory nuances of delivering infrastructure that meets EPA and state drinking water standards.
