Elizabeth White

Elizabeth White serves as Assistant Project Manager for the Public Works, Roads and Drainage agency in Orange County, Florida, where she plays a pivotal role in managing the procurement lifecycle for critical civil infrastructure projects. She is responsible for overseeing the planning, solicitation, evaluation, and award of construction contracts aligned with the agency’s mission to maintain and enhance county roadways, bridges, and stormwater drainage systems. Her work directly supports the implementation of sustainable, low-impact development practices and ensures compliance with state and federal engineering standards. White primarily handles large-scale, design-build and construction-only acquisitions under the Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction NAICS code, coordinating closely with engineers, environmental specialists, and project stakeholders to align procurement outcomes with technical and operational requirements. While specific contractor names are not currently available in the procurement record, White collaborates with a broad spectrum of qualified civil construction firms capable of executing complex infrastructure projects under stringent safety and environmental regulations. Her working relationships emphasize performance-based contracting, with a focus on firms demonstrating proven experience in heavy highway construction, erosion control, and stormwater management systems. Vendor partnerships are typically established through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated contracts, with an emphasis on technical capability, past performance, and adherence to project timelines. Elizabeth White’s procurement activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside.” She does not currently prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead focusing on selecting the most technically qualified contractors regardless of socioeconomic status. This approach aligns with the agency’s emphasis on mission-critical infrastructure delivery and performance outcomes over socioeconomic targeting. Her primary industry focus is NAICS 237310 — Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction — encompassing the procurement of earthwork, pavement, drainage structures, culverts, signage, and traffic control systems. She possesses deep technical expertise in civil construction methodologies, stormwater infrastructure design, and federal-aid highway compliance, ensuring all procurements meet FTA, FHWA, and Florida DOT standards.
