Infrastructure Summit On-Demand
Tackling Infrastructure-related Projects for Your Community
The funding allocated by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill is designed to rebuild America’s infrastructure, expand access to clean drinking water, invest in aging communities, tackle climate change, and create sustainable, long-term jobs. The bill comes in at approximately $1.2 Trillion in federal funding, with $550 Billion being new funding above Congress’ scheduled investment in infrastructure.
Since the President officially signed the bill into law, the White House has released a 465-page guide that dives deep into the operational logistics of applying, receiving, and executing for the federal infrastructure funds. Tackling infrastructure-related projects requires stringent tracking of:
- Allocation of Funds
- Real-Time Project-Status Updates
- Cost Controls
- Document Management
- Stringent Data Security
Needless to say, how you manage and execute your projects going forward will need to be quite different!

Navigating Grants to Get the Funding You Need
With the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill (formerly the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act) now officially passed into law, agencies are beginning to submit applications in pursuit of the funding made available. With several different types of grants available and with varying timelines and milestones, it’s not hard to get lost in the details.
In this session, we cover the different types of funding available and what action agencies need to take to best position themselves for a successful bid. Additionally, we touch on specific priorities, steps, and action public agencies need to effectively navigate the grant application process.

State of Digital Transformation (EDC 6 and EDC 7)
As public agencies prepare for a drastic increase in funding & project load, leaders will need to take a fresh look at their existing processes and technologies in place to ensure scalability.
The reality is that construction, an industry historically reliant on paper-based processes, is quickly becoming ripe for digital workflow optimization. With the same internal personnel managing an increased project workload, it becomes essential to ensure that the proper technologies are in place to support your efforts.

When it comes to U.S. water infrastructure, change is necessary. Whether it’s a treatment plant, pipeline updates, or a new underground sewer tunnel, citizens often groan at the thought of never-ending construction. Too often, that construction is deferred—as are updates to the strategies and technologies for managing it.

Case Study: Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Bridges Project
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill (BIL) includes $110 billion earmarked for modernizing bridges, highways, roads, and main streets most critically in need of repair. This may greenlight many dormant DOT projects. But it means that DOTs must quickly and effectively prioritize and manage the many concurrent projects these funds will bring to life.
