Alicia Brillon

Alicia Brillon serves as a strategic procurement lead for the City of Scottsdale, overseeing the acquisition of critical transportation and public transit infrastructure services. Within the agency’s mission to maintain and enhance municipal operations, she manages the full lifecycle of contracts for bus and motor vehicle transit systems, ensuring compliance with federal and local procurement regulations. Her work directly supports the city’s commitment to reliable, efficient public mobility, coordinating with vendors to deliver maintenance, fleet modernization, and operational support services for transit assets. She plays a central role in aligning acquisitions with long-term capital improvement plans and service delivery goals for Scottsdale’s public transit network. Brillon cultivates collaborative, performance-based relationships with a diverse pool of vendors specializing in transit operations, vehicle maintenance, and fleet management. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages firms with proven expertise in public transit systems, including those capable of delivering integrated maintenance programs, real-time tracking solutions, and ADA-compliant vehicle upgrades. Her contracting approach emphasizes accountability, service quality, and operational continuity, favoring vendors with demonstrated experience in municipal transit environments and robust quality assurance protocols. Brillon’s procurement activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations. This indicates a focus on selecting the most qualified providers based on technical capability and operational readiness rather than socioeconomic classifications. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through set-asides, she remains attentive to vendor diversity and encourages competition from all eligible firms, including those with relevant certifications. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 485113—Bus and Other Motor Vehicle Transit Systems—encompassing the acquisition of transit vehicle maintenance, spare parts, fueling infrastructure, and operational support services. She specializes in procuring complex, mission-critical transit systems that require adherence to federal safety standards and long-term service-level agreements, demonstrating deep expertise in public transportation procurement and asset lifecycle management.
