Webinar One:
Following the $$: The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the Current Economic Outlook
Wednesday, March 29, 2023 | 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM (ET)

It has been over a year since the since the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), or Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), was passed and signed into law. The IIJA is the most significant infusion of investment in our infrastructure since the enactment of the Interstate Highway System in the mid-1950’s. It provides market opportunities for highway contractors, direct federal contractors, building contractors, utility contractors, and other markets. And it demonstrates to our existing and future workforce that there is sustainable work in the years to come.

For nearly three years the U.S. construction industry has been buffeted by unprecedented volatility in materials costs, supply-chain bottlenecks, and a tight labor market. So, what should construction companies expect in the next year? Are there other economic or regulatory challenges we should anticipate?

During this session, our panel of industry experts will cover the following topics:

• An economic outlook and forecast for the next year
• The latest data on construction material prices and availability
• How much IIJA money has already been distributed
• What issues and challenges contractors should be aware of

Webinar Two:
Following the $$: Federal Agencies’ Perspective on Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Implementation
Tuesday, April 11, 2023 | 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM (ET)

The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) or Bipartisan Infrastructure Law invest more than $1.2 trillion to rebuild the nation’s infrastructure. There is a lot in this law for utility contractors and for federal construction contractors. The law provides dedicated funding for ports, drinking water and wastewater systems, broadband, and inland waterways.

During this session, our panel of industry experts will discuss:

• How much of this money has already been accounted for?
• How much money is left to be spent?
• Why has it taken so long for the broadband money to be distributed to communities?
• Are there any issues or challenges for contractors to be aware of?

Webinar Three:
Following the $$: State and Local Perspectives on Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Implementation
Wednesday, April 19, 2023 | 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM (ET)

It has been over a year since the since the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), or Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), was passed and signed into law. The IIJA is the most significant infusion of investment in our infrastructure since the enactment of the Interstate Highway System in the mid-1950’s. The IIJA includes historic funding for state and local governments to repair the nation’s infrastructure – including roads and bridges.

On the transportation side, most of the funding goes out to state and local governments by a formula. This flexibility allows them to address and prioritize their unique transportation needs as Congress intends.

During this session, our panel of industry experts will cover the following topics:

• Are state and local governments seeing an uptick in construction projects?
• Are there hurdles that have kept them from undertaking more projects?
• How has the IIJA impacted state and local transportation spending?
• What should contractors expect in the coming years?

Webinar Four:
Following the $$: Navigating Federal Requirements on Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Projects
Wednesday, April 26, 2023 | 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM (ET)

Contractors have welcomed unprecedented funding in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) - significant money for federal, state, local, and even private developer work. As always, federal funds come with “strings attached” – primarily through broad expansions of existing requirements for construction materials and workforce, but also by allowing local entities greater flexibility to develop workforce and subcontractor participation requirements. These strings will create challenges and opportunities for contractors in bidding and contract performance.

This final part to the webinar series will provide tips for compliance with IIJA requirements for materials, workforce, and project procurement, including expanded Buy America requirements and mandated Buy American preferences for infrastructure; broader application of Davis Bacon requirements and increased penalties; new authority for PLAs; and increased flexibility for state and local entities to require local preferences and on-the-job training requirements.
