Alexander Pokorny

Alexander Pokorny serves as a Project Manager 2 within the Solid & Hazardous Waste Management agency of Collier County, Florida, where he leads the planning, solicitation, and execution of technical procurement initiatives critical to waste infrastructure modernization. In this primary contracting role, he oversees the full lifecycle of acquisitions for engineering services and facility upgrades, ensuring alignment with state and federal environmental regulations. His responsibilities include developing statements of work, evaluating technical proposals, and managing contract performance to support the agency’s mission of safe, compliant waste management and recycling system enhancements. Pokorny collaborates with a diverse pool of engineering consultants and specialized construction contractors, primarily engaging firms with demonstrated expertise in environmental engineering, waste facility design, and industrial coating applications. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently partners with vendors possessing certified environmental compliance credentials and proven experience in municipal waste infrastructure projects. His procurement approach emphasizes technical competency, past performance, and regulatory adherence over cost alone, fostering long-term vendor relationships built on accountability and performance metrics. His contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of procurements open to all eligible bidders without socioeconomic preferences such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB designations. This reflects a strategic focus on technical merit and capacity over socioeconomic targeting, though small businesses remain eligible and competitive within open competitions. Pokorny’s procurement focus is evenly split between NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and 238320 (Painting and Wall Covering Contractors), indicating a dual emphasis on technical design and protective coating systems for waste handling infrastructure. He routinely procures civil engineering services for landfill liner systems, recycling center retrofits, and hazardous material containment, alongside industrial-grade surface coatings for concrete and steel structures exposed to corrosive waste environments. His expertise lies at the intersection of environmental engineering and facility maintenance, ensuring durable, compliant, and operationally resilient waste management assets.
