Andy Udovich

Andy Udovich serves as a Consultant for the Facilities division of the Cleveland Metropolitan School District, where he plays a primary role in shaping and executing capital improvement contracts related to building infrastructure and mechanical systems. His responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of procurement activities for facility modernization projects, from needs assessment and solicitation development to contract award and performance oversight. Udovich specializes in acquisitions that ensure safe, energy-efficient, and code-compliant learning environments, with a focus on long-term operational sustainability. He works closely with engineering teams, project managers, and compliance officers to align contracting strategies with the district’s strategic infrastructure goals. Udovich collaborates primarily with licensed plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors who possess demonstrated expertise in commercial-grade HVAC rehabilitation, ductwork replacement, and hydronic system upgrades. While no specific contractor relationships are currently documented, his procurement pattern indicates a preference for vendors with proven experience in public school facility retrofits and energy performance contracting. He maintains a results-driven, performance-based contracting approach, emphasizing contractor accountability, compliance with OSHA and EPA standards, and adherence to project timelines. Udovich’s contracting portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under no set-aside classifications. This indicates a focus on technical capability and cost-effectiveness over socioeconomic preferences, though it does not preclude participation from small or disadvantaged businesses that meet stringent performance criteria. His approach prioritizes competitive bidding to ensure value and quality, aligning with the agency’s mandate for fiscal responsibility. His primary procurement focus is exclusively on NAICS 238220—Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors—reflecting deep expertise in mechanical systems modernization. He routinely procures services related to boiler replacements, chiller installations, variable air volume (VAV) system upgrades, and building automation system integrations, demonstrating specialized knowledge in commercial HVAC design, retrofit sequencing, and energy efficiency standards such as ASHRAE 90.1.
