Everett Tourjee

Everett Tourjee serves as Project Manager for the Capital Improvement Program and Sales Tax Project Group within Pinellas County’s Public Works Agency, where he leads the planning, procurement, and execution of critical infrastructure projects. Responsible for overseeing the full lifecycle of public works acquisitions, Tourjee ensures alignment with county-wide strategic goals for transportation resilience and public safety. His portfolio primarily consists of large-scale civil construction contracts, with a focus on highway, street, and bridge rehabilitation, drainage improvements, and related civil engineering services. He works closely with engineering teams, financial officers, and external stakeholders to deliver compliant, timely, and high-quality infrastructure outcomes that meet federal and state regulatory standards. Tourjee collaborates with a diverse pool of qualified prime contractors specializing in heavy civil construction, including firms with proven experience in Florida’s coastal infrastructure environment. While no single contractor dominates his award profile, he consistently engages vendors with demonstrated technical competence in earthwork, concrete placement, traffic control, and utility relocation. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based specifications, competitive sealed bidding, and rigorous contractor prequalification to ensure adherence to safety, quality, and schedule requirements. Tourjee’s contracting activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of procurements designated as “No Set-Aside.” While he does not prioritize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, his process remains fully compliant with all federal and state small business participation requirements, and small businesses are welcome to compete on an equal footing through standard solicitation mechanisms. His primary procurement focus is centered on NAICS 237310 — Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction — encompassing design-build, traditional bid-build, and construction management at-risk delivery methods. Tourjee specializes in procuring complex civil works involving pavement reconstruction, bridge retrofitting, stormwater management systems, and intelligent transportation infrastructure, demonstrating deep expertise in public works engineering standards and Florida Department of Transportation specifications.
