Alicia Fraumeni

Alicia Fraumeni serves as a key procurement professional within the Santa Clara Valley Water District, supporting the agency’s mission to secure critical water infrastructure, flood control, and environmental stewardship services. In her role, she manages the acquisition of engineering, environmental consulting, and construction-related services essential to modernizing regional water conveyance systems and enhancing groundwater recharge capabilities. Her responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts aligned with the district’s strategic priorities, ensuring compliance with state and federal procurement regulations while advancing technical and operational resilience across Santa Clara County. While no specific contractor relationships are currently documented, Fraumeni’s procurement activity consistently engages firms specializing in civil engineering, hydrologic modeling, stormwater management, and environmental compliance. She works with a mix of large engineering firms and specialized consultants, fostering partnerships that deliver technical expertise in watershed restoration, infrastructure design, and regulatory permitting. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for performance-based outcomes and integrated service delivery models that align with the district’s long-term asset management goals. Fraumeni’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong emphasis on open competition, with 100% of awards issued under non-set-aside conditions. This indicates a focus on technical merit and cost-effectiveness rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through set-asides, her approach remains inclusive, allowing qualified small firms to compete on equal footing in full and open solicitations. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services), reflecting deep expertise in water resource planning, hydrogeological analysis, and environmental impact assessments. She also regularly procures temporary staffing through NAICS 561320 and commercial construction services under NAICS 236220, underscoring her domain knowledge in integrated water infrastructure delivery and project implementation.
