Christina Kapoi

Christina Kapoi serves as Project Manager at Seattle Public Utilities, where she leads the planning, execution, and oversight of strategic procurement initiatives aligned with the agency’s mission to safeguard public health and environmental quality through sustainable water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure. She is the primary point of contact for acquiring professional services that support system modernization, regulatory compliance, and community-driven CSO reduction efforts. Her acquisitions focus on high-impact administrative and management consulting services that enable data-driven decision-making, performance measurement, and long-term operational resilience across utility systems. Christina collaborates with a diverse array of consulting firms and technical service providers, primarily engaging firms with demonstrated expertise in utility operations, environmental engineering, and public sector program management. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently partners with vendors possessing deep domain knowledge in water resource planning, regulatory reporting, and stakeholder engagement frameworks. Her working relationships are characterized by a focus on performance-based outcomes, clear deliverables, and transparent contract administration. Christina’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her acquisitions open to full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize technical capability and value over socioeconomic categorization, while still ensuring equitable access for all qualified vendors. Her approach emphasizes merit-based selection, aligning with Seattle Public Utilities’ commitment to efficiency and transparency in public spending. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541611—Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services—encompassing strategic planning, operational assessments, compliance audits, and organizational development. She routinely procures services related to utility governance, process optimization, stakeholder communication strategies, and infrastructure lifecycle management, demonstrating specialized expertise in managing complex, mission-critical consulting engagements for public water utilities.
