Alicia Kriz

Alicia Kriz serves as a key procurement lead for Hillsborough Community College, overseeing the acquisition of infrastructure and capital improvement projects critical to maintaining and modernizing the college’s multi-campus facilities. Her role centers on ensuring compliance with state and federal procurement regulations while advancing the institution’s mission of operational excellence and student safety. She manages a specialized portfolio of construction-related contracts, primarily focused on civil infrastructure, with an emphasis on highway, street, and bridge construction activities that support campus mobility, accessibility, and long-term asset sustainability. Her procurement decisions directly enable the college’s ability to deliver safe, efficient, and ADA-compliant transportation networks and campus circulation systems. Kriz collaborates with a range of qualified general contractors and civil engineering firms experienced in public-sector infrastructure delivery. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identified in the data, her procurement pattern suggests consistent engagement with firms possessing proven experience in municipal and educational facility construction, including those with expertise in stormwater management, pavement rehabilitation, and pedestrian safety enhancements. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based specifications, competitive sealed bidding, and strict adherence to Florida’s public procurement statutes. Kriz’s procurement strategy reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of awards issued under non-set-aside mechanisms. This indicates a focus on maximizing value through broad market participation rather than socioeconomic set-asides, though she remains compliant with all federal and state small business reporting requirements. Her approach prioritizes technical capability and past performance over socioeconomic classifications, aligning with the college’s infrastructure-driven mission. Her primary technical domain is NAICS 237310—Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction—where she specializes in procuring services related to roadways, drainage systems, signage, curb and gutter installation, and other civil works integral to campus infrastructure. Her expertise lies in managing complex, multi-phase construction procurements that require coordination with public works departments and adherence to Florida Department of Transportation standards.
