Faith Bentley

Faith Bentley serves as a key procurement lead within the Engineering-Facilities agency of the City of Greer, South Carolina, where she manages the acquisition of critical infrastructure services and construction solutions aligned with municipal safety and operational resilience goals. Her role centers on ensuring technically compliant, code-adherent procurement outcomes for public facilities, with a focus on engineering oversight, facility modernization, and long-term infrastructure integrity. She typically handles complex, performance-based acquisitions spanning engineering design, construction, and technical consulting, coordinating closely with project engineers and asset managers to align contracting strategies with capital improvement priorities. Faith Bentley cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse pool of qualified contractors specializing in heavy civil construction, electrical systems, and professional engineering services. While no single vendor dominates her award portfolio, she consistently engages firms with demonstrated expertise in municipal infrastructure delivery, prioritizing vendors with proven experience in South Carolina regulatory environments and public-sector project execution. Her procurement approach emphasizes competitive bidding, technical evaluation, and vendor reliability, fostering transparent, merit-based partnerships grounded in performance and compliance. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions issued under non-set-aside conditions. This indicates a strategic focus on maximizing market participation and technical capability rather than socioeconomic set-asides, though she remains attentive to small business capabilities within the broader competitive field. Her approach prioritizes value, technical merit, and risk mitigation over socioeconomic classification, ensuring selections are driven by project-specific requirements. Faith Bentley’s procurement portfolio is concentrated in four core NAICS categories: Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction, Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors, Engineering Services, and Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services. She routinely procures design-build services, infrastructure assessments, utility system upgrades, and technical advisory support, demonstrating deep expertise in public works engineering, facility lifecycle management, and code-compliant construction delivery. Her domain knowledge ensures acquisitions align with municipal engineering standards and long-term asset sustainability goals.
