Sara Daniel

Sara Daniel serves as a Senior Management Analyst with the County Administration Office of Tuolumne County, where she plays a central role in shaping and executing the agency’s procurement strategy to advance public safety and environmental resilience. Her responsibilities include managing consulting services that support strategic planning, operational efficiency, and program implementation for wildfire risk mitigation, forest ecosystem restoration, and sustainable land use initiatives. She is the primary point of contact for acquisitions aligned with the agency’s mission, focusing on high-impact management consulting contracts that inform policy, coordinate interdepartmental efforts, and ensure compliance with state and federal environmental standards. Sara collaborates closely with a network of management consulting firms and public sector advisors specializing in environmental planning, emergency management, and land use policy. While no specific contractors are currently identified in the system, her procurement patterns indicate a preference for firms with demonstrated expertise in wildland-urban interface planning, fuelbreak design, and ecological restoration program management. Her working relationships are characterized by a focus on technical proficiency, regulatory alignment, and long-term program sustainability rather than transactional vendor engagements. Sara’s contracting approach reflects a strong emphasis on open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions designated as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a procurement philosophy prioritizing technical merit and capability over socioeconomic preferences, though she remains compliant with all federal and state small business participation requirements. Her approach ensures that contracts are awarded based on demonstrated expertise in complex environmental management contexts. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541611—Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services—encompassing strategic planning, program evaluation, grant management, and interagency coordination. She routinely procures services that support the design and implementation of wildfire prevention infrastructure, land stewardship frameworks, and community resilience planning, reflecting deep expertise in public sector environmental management consulting.
