Allie Bastian

Allie Bastian serves as a key procurement lead within Salt Lake City’s public works and infrastructure division, overseeing the acquisition of site preparation services critical to the city’s urban development and infrastructure resilience initiatives. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of contracting actions—from needs assessment to contract award and performance monitoring—Bastian ensures alignment with municipal priorities in transportation, utilities, and public facilities modernization. Their procurement focus centers on mission-critical site preparation activities that enable the construction and rehabilitation of roads, stormwater systems, and municipal infrastructure, requiring precise compliance with local engineering standards and environmental regulations. Bastian maintains a streamlined contracting approach, engaging a broad base of qualified site preparation contractors with proven experience in earthmoving, grading, excavation, and utility trenching. While no single contractor dominates the award landscape, they foster consistent partnerships with regional firms possessing specialized equipment and local labor certifications. Relationships are built on performance reliability, safety compliance, and timely delivery, with an emphasis on competitive sealed bidding and performance-based contract structures. Bastian’s procurement strategy reflects a firm commitment to open competition, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under non-set-aside conditions. There is no formal preference for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs; instead, awards are determined strictly by technical capability, price competitiveness, and past performance. This approach prioritizes efficiency and scalability in delivering large-scale infrastructure projects while maintaining compliance with federal and state procurement mandates. The agency’s sole NAICS focus is 238910—Site Preparation Contractors—indicating deep specialization in earthwork, land clearing, and site development services. Bastian’s expertise lies in evaluating contractor capabilities for complex urban site prep, including subsurface utility coordination, erosion control, and compliance with OSHA and EPA standards. Their technical domain knowledge ensures that procurements support durable, sustainable infrastructure outcomes aligned with Salt Lake City’s long-term resilience goals.
