James E Garror

James E. Garror serves as a key procurement lead within the W075 Endist San Fran office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, supporting the Department of the Army’s civil works mission. He manages the acquisition of complex civil infrastructure projects, including flood control systems, dam safety enhancements, levee rehabilitation, and dredged material beneficial use initiatives. His portfolio centers on large-scale engineering construction and environmental compliance, ensuring alignment with federal regulations and sustainable design standards. Garror plays a critical role in executing mission-critical contracts that safeguard public infrastructure and advance environmental stewardship across federal water resources. Garror maintains longstanding relationships with leading heavy 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 reflect a preference for experienced, high-capacity contractors capable of delivering technically complex, multi-year infrastructure projects under stringent safety and environmental protocols. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, risk mitigation, and contractor reliability, often leveraging indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms to ensure responsive execution across dynamic field conditions. His procurement strategy prioritizes open competition, with approximately 78.7% of awards issued without set-asides, reflecting the scale and specialized nature of civil works requirements. However, he consistently supports small business participation, allocating over 20% of opportunities to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, with a modest but intentional 0.7% directed to 8(a) competed contracts, demonstrating balanced socioeconomic compliance. Garror’s primary focus lies in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), which accounts for nearly three-quarters of his portfolio, encompassing earthmoving, hydraulic structures, and erosion control. He also procures environmental consulting services (NAICS 541620) and technical support (NAICS 541990) to ensure regulatory adherence and ecological mitigation, reinforcing a domain expertise grounded in water resource engineering and federally mandated environmental compliance.
