Ana Seivert

Ana Seivert serves as a key procurement lead within the City of Austin, supporting the agency’s mission to modernize critical public infrastructure through strategic civil works contracting. In her role, she manages the acquisition lifecycle for large-scale heavy and civil engineering projects, including water and sewer system upgrades, transportation infrastructure, and municipal facility construction. Her work ensures alignment with the city’s goals of public safety, environmental resilience, and long-term operational sustainability. She is responsible for soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a primary focus on complex, performance-based procurements requiring technical rigor and compliance with state and federal construction standards. Ana collaborates with a diverse pool of qualified contractors specializing in heavy civil construction, including general contractors, civil engineers, and utility system specialists. While no single vendor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages firms with proven experience in municipal infrastructure delivery, emphasizing pre-qualification, past performance, and safety compliance. Her contracting approach prioritizes competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements, fostering transparent, merit-based vendor relationships grounded in technical capability and project execution history. Ana’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside.” She does not currently utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead focusing on full and open competition to ensure the highest technical standards and value for public funds. Her approach prioritizes capability over socioeconomic status, though she remains compliant with all federal and local small business participation reporting requirements. Her primary procurement focus is NAICS 237990 — Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction — encompassing earthwork, pipeline installation, stormwater management systems, and non-residential civil infrastructure. She specializes in complex, multi-phase projects requiring coordination between utility providers, environmental regulators, and public works departments, demonstrating deep expertise in infrastructure lifecycle management and public-sector construction procurement.
