Holly Gould

Holly Gould serves as a key procurement lead within the Valley Sanitary District, overseeing the acquisition of critical infrastructure and operational services essential to public health and environmental compliance. In her role, she manages the full lifecycle of contracts related to wastewater conveyance systems, utility modernization, and regulatory adherence, ensuring alignment with state and federal water quality standards. Her procurement activities are centered on engineering and construction services that enhance the resilience and efficiency of the district’s aging sewer infrastructure, with a strong emphasis on technical compliance and long-term operational sustainability. While no specific contractor relationships are currently documented, Gould’s procurement patterns suggest consistent engagement with civil construction firms specializing in water and sewer line installation, as well as consulting firms providing administrative and management support. Her contracting approach reflects a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in municipal utility projects, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in technical competence and regulatory familiarity. Gould’s agency demonstrates a clear preference for open competition, with 100% of procurements designated as “No Set-Aside,” indicating a focus on technical merit and cost-effectiveness over socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This approach prioritizes mission-critical outcomes and system reliability, reflecting the district’s urgent need for high-performance infrastructure solutions. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237110 (Water and Sewer Line Construction), where she drives acquisitions for pipeline rehabilitation, pump station upgrades, and conveyance system modernization. Complementary procurements in administrative management consulting (NAICS 541611) and insurance-related services (NAICS 524298) support operational continuity and risk mitigation. Gould’s expertise centers on complex public works contracting, with deep familiarity in environmental compliance, stormwater management, and emerging contaminant control, particularly PFAS remediation strategies.
