June 5, 6, 7, and 14, 2023
If you are part of a local public agency or support agency and work in planning/programming, design, construction, or asset management, attend these events! The audience for these four events includes State DOTs, local public agencies, Tribal Nations, metropolitan planning organizations, and those that support these agencies.
The Federal Highway Administration would like to help agencies make bundling a routine process to save time, money, and resources, especially as additional funds from the BIL are rolled out. The purpose of these virtual events is to encourage agencies to take advantage of efficiencies created by project bundling. Project bundling is more relevant and important with the passage of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL). The BIL specifically mentions project bundling and bridge bundling as alternative contracting methods for enhanced program delivery and encourages agencies to establish clear procedures for these methods so the known benefits might be more consistently realized. Grant programs like Safe Streets for All encourage grant applicants to consider bundling.
Earn a two-hour training certificate for each event you participate in! Attend one or all four sessions. Please register for each event separately below. After registering, please complete this pre-event Questionnaire.
