This event has been postponed until further notice.

What are the major influences impacting the state of our national and regional infrastructure, and how will the new federal infrastructure program impact those influences? Join our panelists for an in-person discussion as they take a deep dive into the factors that make the most impact.

Topics

  • Current infrastructure needs (e.g., deferred maintenance, increased demand due to population growth, etc.) and how they will be addressed
  • An outlook for Arizona and the metro Phoenix area
  • The recently approved infrastructure legislation will introduce over $1 trillion into various aspects of the U.S. economy, from transportation to clean energy and broadband; we will discuss how this investment is expected to impact public-private partnerships (P3s) and other project delivery opportunities. How will these funds be allocated amongst various projects in Arizona?
  • How procurement and finance will address infrastructure needs and how those fit into the new infrastructure package in both the short and long-term
  • Legal considerations for public procurement issues, including licensing, potential eligibility, programming, joint venturing and mentoring programs, bid submissions and consideration, zoning, contracting, minority participation and wage requirements
