Ayoub Al-Bahou serves as a Senior Project Manager within the Engineering (Public Works) agency of the City of Fort Myers, where he leads the planning, design, and execution of critical public infrastructure projects. His role encompasses end-to-end procurement oversight for capital improvement initiatives, including roadway modernization, sidewalk enhancements, and recreational site development. Al-Bahou ensures that all acquisitions align with municipal resilience goals and regulatory compliance standards, managing contracts from solicitation through award and performance monitoring. He is a key liaison between engineering teams, city planners, and external contractors, ensuring technical requirements are clearly defined and contractually enforced. While no specific contractor relationships are currently documented, Al-Bahou routinely engages with firms specializing in site preparation and civil engineering services, fostering collaborative partnerships grounded in performance-based outcomes and quality assurance protocols. His procurement approach emphasizes contractor accountability, schedule adherence, and adherence to municipal engineering standards, encouraging long-term vendor relationships built on technical competence and regulatory compliance. Al-Bahou’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of procurements open to all eligible vendors without socioeconomic preferences such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB designations. This reflects a strategic focus on competitive, open bidding to ensure technical excellence and value-driven outcomes, rather than socioeconomic targeting. His approach prioritizes capability and capacity over certification status, consistent with the agency’s mission to deliver high-performance infrastructure. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238910 (Site Preparation Contractors) and 541330 (Engineering Services), reflecting deep expertise in civil infrastructure development. He routinely acquires services related to earthwork, grading, utility coordination, drainage design, and geotechnical analysis, ensuring projects meet Florida Department of Transportation and local municipal standards. His technical domain expertise spans public works engineering, construction management, and infrastructure lifecycle planning.
