Greg Jackson

Greg Jackson serves as Deputy Director for the City of Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department, where he plays a pivotal role in shaping and overseeing the agency’s capital improvement and design-related procurement strategy. In this capacity, he directs the acquisition of professional services essential to the development, modernization, and maintenance of public parks, recreational facilities, and community spaces. His responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of architectural and engineering contracts, ensuring alignment with municipal design standards, public safety codes, and sustainability goals. He is the primary decision-maker for design-phase procurements and collaborates closely with city planners, engineers, and community stakeholders to translate public needs into enforceable contract requirements. Greg Jackson’s procurement activity is exclusively focused on Architectural Services (NAICS 541310), reflecting a deliberate emphasis on design excellence, landscape integration, and facility modernization. He regularly engages licensed architectural firms, urban design consultants, and specialized landscape architects to deliver high-quality, accessible public spaces. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable, his portfolio consistently prioritizes firms with demonstrated expertise in municipal park infrastructure, ADA-compliant design, and public realm enhancements. His contracting approach shows no preference for socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a procurement philosophy centered on technical merit, design competency, and value-driven outcomes rather than socioeconomic criteria. Greg’s domain expertise lies in the intersection of public space planning and professional design services, with deep familiarity with federal and local building codes, environmental compliance, and community engagement protocols in infrastructure delivery. He ensures that every architectural contract supports the agency’s mission of creating equitable, vibrant, and enduring recreational environments for all residents.
