Alicia Fetters

Alicia Fetters serves as the primary procurement lead for the City of Leadville, overseeing the acquisition of commercial and institutional building construction services critical to the agency’s mission of preserving and rehabilitating its historic built environment. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts for public infrastructure projects, ensuring alignment with historic preservation standards and long-term asset sustainability goals. Her work centers on adaptive reuse initiatives, structural reinforcement of heritage buildings, and new construction that respects the city’s cultural identity, making her a key steward of public investment in community-facing facilities. Fetters maintains a streamlined contracting approach, working primarily with general contractors and specialty trades experienced in historic renovation, masonry restoration, and code-compliant commercial construction. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages firms with demonstrated expertise in working within designated historic districts and under SHPO guidelines. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for proven local and regional contractors with established track records in sensitive restoration environments, fostering stable, trust-based vendor relationships grounded in technical competence and regulatory compliance. Fetters does not utilize socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of her acquisitions awarded under open competition. This reflects the City of Leadville’s strategic focus on technical capability over socioeconomic criteria, prioritizing contractor experience in historic preservation over certification status. While small businesses may still compete and win contracts, there is no formal preference or targeted outreach program for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB firms in her procurement activities. Her primary procurement focus is exclusively on NAICS 236220 — Commercial and Institutional Building Construction — encompassing new builds, renovations, and rehabilitation of civic, cultural, and community facilities. She specializes in acquisitions involving structural stabilization, façade restoration, MEP upgrades in historic contexts, and compliance with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation, demonstrating deep technical expertise in heritage-sensitive construction practices.
