Matt Adamson

Matt Adamson serves as Assistant Director of Engineering for the Public Utilities Agency of the Unified Government of Athens-Clarke County, Georgia, where he plays a pivotal role in overseeing the planning, procurement, and execution of critical water and wastewater infrastructure projects. His responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of capital improvement acquisitions, from needs assessment and specification development to contract award and performance oversight. Adamson primarily handles construction-related procurements under NAICS 237110, focusing on sanitary sewer line installations, interceptor system rehabilitation, and treatment facility upgrades that support public health and environmental compliance across the region. While no specific contractor relationships are currently documented, Adamson’s procurement portfolio consistently engages qualified general contractors and specialty utilities contractors with demonstrated expertise in underground utility construction, trenchless technologies, and stormwater management systems. His working relationships are built on technical competency, regulatory adherence, and proven performance in complex public works environments, favoring vendors with experience in Georgia’s soil and hydrogeological conditions. Adamson’s contracting activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions designated as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on selecting the most technically capable and cost-effective proposers without socioeconomic set-asides, though small businesses are not excluded and may compete on equal footing under full and open competition. His technical domain is exclusively centered on water and sewer line construction, encompassing gravity and pressure sewer systems, manhole rehabilitation, pipeline replacement, and related civil infrastructure. Adamson brings deep expertise in ANSI, EPA, and Georgia EPD standards, ensuring all procurements align with state and federal environmental regulations and long-term asset sustainability goals.
