I have been working in Central Procurement and Water Procurement for a total of 28 years. I am a procurement specialist with extensive experience with the City of Philadelphia, excelling in the contract and purchase order creation and compliance. I am a team player and have great working relationships with All Procurement Staff. I provide accuracy in contract processing, and efficiency. I have effectively trained staff and shared my knowledge as I see fit.
I coordinate and monitor contract activities for Water Department, on a daily log in excel, PHl Contracts, and make modifications and give detailed information as needed for All Water Department Staff. Also the laison between Water Department and Central Procurement. I review all informal contracts SSE to verify they are the responsible and responsive bidders in order to provide a smooth process in a timely manner and making sure that they are using Procurement Standards and guidelines before Central Procurements approval. I give assistance and basic training, and detailed instructions to ALL PWD personnel with All SOP's.
