Shelley Alexander

Shelley Alexander serves as Environmental Programs Coordinator for the Environmental Agency of Santa Rosa County, where she leads the planning, solicitation, and management of public infrastructure contracts critical to environmental sustainability and public safety. In this primary procurement role, she oversees the full lifecycle of acquisitions related to stormwater management, coastal resilience, and green infrastructure, ensuring alignment with state and federal environmental standards. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to modernize water, sewer, and transportation systems through technically sound, environmentally responsible contracting. She typically handles large-scale civil construction procurements, with a focus on competitive sealed bidding and design-build delivery methods. Shelley Alexander maintains collaborative relationships with a broad range of qualified civil engineering and construction contractors specializing in public works infrastructure. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages firms with proven expertise in highway, street, and bridge construction, as well as those experienced in erosion control, bioswale installation, and low-impact development techniques. Her procurement approach emphasizes vendor reliability, technical compliance, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term partnerships with contractors who demonstrate operational excellence and environmental stewardship. Alexander’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions issued under no set-aside status. She does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead prioritizing technical capability and project readiness over socioeconomic classifications. This approach ensures the highest level of competition among qualified bidders while maintaining strict adherence to project timelines and engineering specifications. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 237310—Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction—reflecting deep expertise in civil infrastructure projects. She specializes in procuring earthwork, drainage systems, culvert installation, and stormwater detention facilities, often integrating green infrastructure elements such as permeable pavements and native vegetation buffers. Her technical domain expertise lies in ensuring compliance with Florida DEP standards and FEMA resilience guidelines, making her a key steward of environmentally compliant public works in coastal communities.
