Lindsey James

Lindsey James serves as Projects Coordinator for the Capital Improvement Projects office of the City of Greer, South Carolina, where she plays a central role in planning, coordinating, and executing public infrastructure acquisitions. Responsible for aligning procurement activities with the agency’s mission of enhancing municipal asset integrity and energy efficiency, Lindsey oversees the end-to-end lifecycle of capital improvement contracts—from needs assessment and solicitation to vendor selection and contract administration. She primarily handles construction-related acquisitions focused on facility modernization, structural rehabilitation, and code-compliant upgrades to civic infrastructure, ensuring all projects meet rigorous safety and sustainability standards. Lindsey cultivates strong working relationships with licensed electrical and roofing contractors who specialize in commercial and municipal applications. She collaborates closely with firms possessing proven track records in public works, emphasizing technical competency, regulatory compliance, and timely project delivery. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with vendors experienced in retrofitting aging civic buildings and installing energy-efficient systems, fostering partnerships built on reliability and adherence to municipal specifications. Lindsey’s procurement strategy reflects a clear preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions designated as non-set-aside. She does not prioritize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, instead focusing on technical qualifications and capacity to deliver complex infrastructure work. This approach ensures the highest level of performance on mission-critical public assets, prioritizing outcome-driven vendor selection over socioeconomic categorization. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238210 (Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors) and 238160 (Roofing Contractors), reflecting deep expertise in building envelope and electrical system modernization. She procures services including commercial-grade electrical rewiring, LED retrofits, waterproofing, membrane roofing, and stormwater-integrated roofing systems—all critical to extending the lifespan and operational efficiency of municipal facilities.
