Allison Moore-Farrell

Allison Moore-Farrell serves as the primary procurement lead for the City of Boulder, overseeing the acquisition of critical transit and ground passenger transportation services that support the city’s mission to modernize multimodal infrastructure and enhance community mobility. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of contracting activities—from needs assessment and solicitation development to contract award and performance monitoring—ensuring alignment with municipal sustainability goals and public service standards. Her acquisitions focus on technical consulting, operational support, and system integration services essential to maintaining and expanding the city’s public transit networks, including paratransit, bus operations, and mobility-as-a-service platforms. Moore-Farrell cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse pool of vendors specializing in transit operations, engineering consulting, and intelligent transportation systems. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages firms with demonstrated expertise in public-sector transit delivery, including regional service providers and technical consultants with experience in ADA-compliant mobility solutions. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, vendor accountability, and long-term operational reliability over short-term cost savings. Her contracting pattern reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions issued under no set-aside classifications. This indicates a strategic focus on selecting the most qualified providers based on technical merit and service capability, rather than socioeconomic criteria. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her process remains transparent and accessible to all qualified vendors. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 485999—All Other Transit and Ground Passenger Transportation—encompassing a wide range of services including transit planning, fleet management, real-time passenger information systems, and accessibility compliance support. Moore-Farrell’s expertise lies in procuring complex, service-intensive solutions that integrate technology, equity, and environmental resilience into the city’s transportation ecosystem.
