Lee Lambert

Lee Lambert serves as Code Enforcement Supervisor for the City of Clearlake’s Code Enforcement/Police Department, where he oversees the identification, evaluation, and remediation of hazardous and non-compliant properties. In his primary procurement role, he directs acquisitions for site preparation and demolition services critical to abating blighted infrastructure and mitigating public health risks. His responsibilities include evaluating contractor qualifications, ensuring compliance with municipal codes, and managing the lifecycle of contracts tied to land clearing, debris removal, and site grading—all essential to restoring community safety and urban integrity. He plays a central role in translating enforcement priorities into actionable procurement initiatives that align with the agency’s mission of proactive code compliance. Lambert works primarily with licensed site preparation contractors specializing in hazardous structure demolition, asbestos abatement, and contaminated soil remediation. While no single vendor dominates his contracting portfolio, he maintains a consistent network of pre-qualified, bonded, and insured contractors with demonstrated experience in municipal code enforcement projects. His procurement process emphasizes performance-based specifications, safety certifications, and adherence to Cal/OSHA standards, fostering long-term partnerships with firms capable of rapid mobilization and compliance with environmental regulations. Lambert’s contracting activity reflects a 100% preference for open, non-set-aside competitions, indicating a focus on technical capability and cost-effectiveness over socioeconomic categorizations. He does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead selecting vendors based on demonstrated expertise in hazardous site remediation and proven track records in municipal code enforcement contexts. This approach ensures the agency secures the most qualified performers for high-risk, time-sensitive projects. His procurement focus is exclusively on NAICS 238910—Site Preparation Contractors—reflecting deep specialization in land clearing, demolition, and site grading for abandoned or structurally unsound properties. He procures services involving heavy equipment operation, hazardous material handling, and environmental mitigation, requiring contractors with specialized training and equipment certified for urban blight remediation. His technical domain expertise lies in the intersection of municipal code enforcement and civil construction, ensuring that every acquisition directly supports the safe, lawful, and efficient transformation of hazardous sites into compliant public spaces.
