Facundo Funes

Facundo Funes serves as a Project Manager within the W075 Endist San Fran office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, overseeing the planning, procurement, and execution of civil infrastructure projects critical to federal water resource management. His role centers on managing the full lifecycle of site preparation and earthwork contracts for flood control systems, dam safety upgrades, levee rehabilitation, and beneficial use of dredged material. Funes ensures compliance with federal engineering standards and environmental regulations while coordinating with technical staff, field engineers, and contractors to deliver mission-critical public works. He is the primary point of contact for acquisition planning, solicitation development, and contract administration for site preparation services under the Department of the Army’s civil works portfolio. Funes maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced civil construction firms, including BFBC LLC, Granite Construction Company, Manson Construction Co., McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, and CAM-DUTRA JV-II LLC. These partnerships are characterized by long-term, performance-based contract execution, often involving complex earthmoving, grading, and erosion control operations across sensitive environmental zones. His procurement approach prioritizes contractors with proven expertise in heavy civil infrastructure and demonstrated ability to meet stringent U.S. Army Corps of Engineers quality and safety protocols. Funes’s procurement portfolio reflects a strict preference for full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside conditions. While small business participation is not mandated through socioeconomic set-asides, he actively encourages competitive bidding from all qualified vendors, emphasizing technical capability and past performance over socioeconomic classification. His primary procurement focus is exclusively on NAICS 238910 — Site Preparation Contractors — encompassing excavation, grading, drainage installation, and land clearing for large-scale civil works. Funes specializes in acquiring services that support the construction and maintenance of flood risk reduction infrastructure, requiring deep technical knowledge of geotechnical engineering, sediment management, and federal environmental compliance frameworks.
