Alicen A Everett

Alicen A Everett serves as a procurement lead for the City of Durango, overseeing the acquisition of critical public infrastructure projects aligned with the agency’s mission to enhance community resilience and economic vitality. In this capacity, Everett manages the full lifecycle of construction-related contracts, from solicitation and evaluation to award and compliance oversight, with a primary focus on transportation and civil works initiatives. Their role is central to executing the city’s strategic infrastructure goals, ensuring that procurement processes adhere to state and federal regulations while delivering high-quality, durable public assets. Everett routinely handles complex, performance-based solicitations for highway, bridge, and stormwater infrastructure, requiring technical expertise in construction standards and public works contracting protocols. Everett’s contractor relationships are primarily with qualified general contractors and specialty subcontractors experienced in heavy civil construction. While no specific vendor partnerships are currently dominant in the award record, the procurement process emphasizes competitive bidding among firms with demonstrated capacity in large-scale earthwork, pavement systems, and hydraulic infrastructure. Vendor engagement is structured around prequalification, performance history, and adherence to safety and environmental compliance standards, fostering a transparent and accountable contracting environment. Everett’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations. This approach prioritizes broad market participation and value-driven outcomes over socioeconomic categorizations, though compliance with all federal and state small business participation requirements remains fully observed. The agency maintains a neutral stance toward 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, focusing instead on contractor capability and project suitability. The agency’s contracting activity is exclusively concentrated in NAICS 237310—Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction—reflecting Everett’s deep specialization in civil infrastructure procurement. This includes the acquisition of road resurfacing, bridge rehabilitation, drainage systems, and related earthmoving services. Everett’s technical expertise lies in interpreting DOT standards, managing construction specifications, and ensuring compliance with federal-aid highway program requirements.
