Hines maintains consistent working relationships with established contractors including RYAN CONSTRUCTION CO INC, WEEKS-CASHMAN JV, APPLEDORE MARINE - CH2M JV, W. M. JORDAN COMPANY, INCORPORATED, and MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced firms capable of executing complex civil works, marine construction, and site development projects under stringent military standards. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, risk mitigation, and contractor accountability in high-stakes environments. Her procurement strategy prioritizes small business participation, with nearly half of her awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, complemented by a significant HUBZone focus at 19.1%. This reflects a deliberate commitment to fostering economic opportunity in underserved communities while leveraging the specialized capabilities of small, regionally based firms. She actively integrates socioeconomic contracting goals into acquisition planning to meet statutory obligations and enhance workforce diversity. Her technical domain centers on forestry support activities (NAICS 115310), with substantial procurement in construction equipment leasing (NAICS 532412) and heavy civil engineering (NAICS 237310, 237990). She routinely acquires services related to land clearing, erosion control, utility relocation, and site preparation—critical enablers for base modernization and environmental compliance initiatives.
