For the remainder of 2016, there are only two must-pass pieces of legislation remaining in Congress: (1) a massive Omnibus appropriations bill funding the federal government for fiscal year (FY) 2017, which will likely pass in the lame-duck period of November-December after the presidential election and following the enactment of a short-term Continuing Resolution (CR) to fund the government beginning October 1; and (2) the reauthorization of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). On March 30, President Obama signed the “Airport and Airway Extension Act of 2016” into law, which extends authorization and tax authority for the FAA through July 15, 2016; FAA authorization was set to expire on March 31. This gives the House and Senate just over three months to reach consensus and pass a long-term FAA reauthorization bill before Congress recesses for seven weeks from July 16-September 6, for the Democratic and Republican National Conventions and the annual August summer recess.

With the assistance of The Ferguson Group’s (TFG) Grant Writing Services in 2014, the Midway City Sanitary District (MCSD) was able to celebrate the opening of its new compressed natural gas (CNG) station in the summer of 2015. TFG assisted MCSD secure $250,000 in Clean Transportation Funding from the California Mobile Source Air Pollution Reduction Review Committee (MSRC) to construct a new CNG station and maintenance facility modifications. The new facility has 15 time-fill dispensers and two fast-fill dispensers servicing 10 CNG vehicles and will help the District save about $400,000 per year in fuel costs.

TFG Experts Compile Special Report on the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act

TFG Experts Compile Special Report on the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act

TFG outlined programs included in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act critical to its clients in an exclusive Special Report.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—This week, longtime infrastructure and federal funding experts at The Ferguson Group (TFG), compiled an extensive Special Report on the 2,739 page Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act recently passed by the United States Senate. Importantly, TFG staff members with expertise across all portfolios teamed up to highlight and interpret provisions of particular importance to clients. Clients will also receive timely updates on subsequent negotiations and actions in the U.S. House on the bill and future infrastructure and budget initiatives relevant to their priority projects.

“Our clients need every resource at their disposal to help their communities,” said Jennifer Imo, Managing Partner of Client Services. “But it’s incredibly difficult to filter and interpret the latest federal legislation, emergency funding, and budget provisions to target the right programs—that’s where we come in. Our Special Report distills down the massive Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to highlight the federal provisions our clients can advocate for and benefit from quickly.”

“I was pleased to work with my colleagues across issue areas to put together a comprehensive guide to the infrastructure package for our clients,” said Zachary Israel, Principal and Manager of Legislative Affairs. “If passed, this bill could be a real game-changer for our clients. We are also closely monitoring subsequent House actions on the Senate-passed Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, FY 2022 Community Project Funding (or “earmarks”), and the potential $3.5 trillion reconciliation package.”

Without a Congressional section-by-section summary currently available, the Special Report provides clients a needed breakdown of the 5-year surface transportation reauthorization bill and additional $550 billion in emergency infrastructure spending included in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.

 

 

 

 

 

The TFG Special Report on the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act summarizes and interprets relevant provisions such as:

  • Surface Transportation;

  • Transit;
  • Energy;
  • Drinking Water and Wastewater Infrastructure;
  • Broadband;
