The new rule, Private Investment Project Procedures (PIPP), which is scheduled to go into effect June 29, lines up with the administration’s goal of encouraging private investment in infrastructure projects nationwide. The President’s original infrastructure plan was for the federal government to invest $200 billion in order to encourage more than $1.5 trillion in investment revenue from other sources.

Monday, June 11th, 2018Infrastructure funding in the new budget bill – here’s where it will go
Monday, March 26th, 2018Infrastructure experts are calling the $21.2 billion in new federal infrastructure funding in the omnibus federal spending bill “a good first step.” But, they know all too well that it’s only a “tip of the iceberg” solution. Sadly, the additional funding for infrastructure projects is woefully short of what’s needed.

Monday, March 19th, 2018
Seven months after hurricanes Harvey and Irma wreaked catastrophic damages in parts of Texas and Florida, leaving $175 billion in damages in their wake, help is on the way.

Tuesday, January 23rd, 2018Construction firms interested in new business opportunities need only to look at where the disasters occurred in 2017.

Wednesday, December 27th, 2017Public officials in states that have been cash-strapped for the last number of years have already exhausted internal creativity and innovation. There are just so many ways to do “more with less” and most say they have no new ideas left. In states that enacted fee and tax increases, the total net result was only $9.9 billion in additional revenue. Now lawmakers and budget gurus must explore alternative funding options.

Wednesday, December 6th, 2017
Over the last decade, it has become increasingly clear that America’s infrastructure requires a significant upgrade. Roads, highways, bridges and tunnels have decayed and deteriorated—sometimes to the point of catastrophic failure. Yet, with tax dollars limited and funding for projects largely declining, finding a way out of the mess has been extraordinarily difficult.
“It has put the spotlight on public-private partnerships,” states Lee Weintraub, chair of public-private partnerships and vice chair of construction, law and litigation at Becker & Poliakoff.

Thursday, November 9th, 2017When the Hurricane Harvey federal disaster relief funding spigot finally opens in Washington, D.C., Texas cities and counties with recovery projects – some of which will be mega-million dollar projects – are hopeful their projects will be among those funded. And when the funding starts flowing, contracting opportunities will be abundant. Private-sector firms throughout the country willing to bring their experience and resources to the Texas Gulf Coast will be called on to contract with public-sector entities to help with the rebuilding of Texas.

View this complete post...Citizens will hopefully get involved in this issue
Tuesday, October 17th, 2017Just a week ago, the president started walking back his often-stated commitment to use $200 billion in federal funding to leverage another $800 billion in private capital and other non-federal funds for an infrastructure plan.
