Llanet Gomez

Llanet Gomez serves as a procurement specialist within the Los Angeles Public Works, Engineering Bureau, supporting the planning, design, and oversight of the city’s critical civil infrastructure. In this capacity, Gomez manages the acquisition of engineering services and technical testing solutions essential to the bureau’s mission of ensuring the safety, resilience, and long-term functionality of transportation corridors, sewer systems, and public works facilities. Their work directly enables the execution of capital improvement projects by facilitating the selection of qualified technical vendors and ensuring compliance with state and federal procurement standards. Gomez handles a high volume of sole-source and competitive sealed-bid contracts, primarily for professional engineering consulting and laboratory testing services. Gomez maintains collaborative relationships with a broad network of engineering consultants and independent testing laboratories, many of which hold specialized certifications in geotechnical, structural, and environmental analysis. While no single contractor dominates their portfolio, Gomez consistently engages firms with proven expertise in municipal infrastructure projects, prioritizing technical capability, regulatory compliance, and past performance over price alone. Vendor partnerships are typically established through rigorous evaluation processes that emphasize engineering rigor and adherence to California’s environmental and public works codes. Gomez’s contracting activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside.” This approach prioritizes technical merit and project-specific qualifications over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the bureau’s emphasis on mission-critical outcomes and infrastructure integrity. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through set-asides, vendors of all sizes are evaluated on equal footing based on technical competence and delivery reliability. The primary focus of Gomez’s procurement portfolio lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), which accounts for 75% of activity, encompassing civil, structural, and transportation engineering design. The remaining 25% centers on NAICS 541380 (Testing Laboratories and Services), including soil analysis, material certification, and environmental sampling. These acquisitions support the bureau’s commitment to evidence-based infrastructure decision-making and regulatory compliance.
