Infrastructure Investment Report

Added: Jun 15, 2015 1:59 pm Solicitation - A15064 / 15PR-TDP-0386 (Infrastructure Investment Report)

Independent report to identify the most significant transportation and water infrastructure projects that are under consideration across the country based on their potential economic impact.

The intention to procure the Report was publicly announced by Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew in his formal remarks at the Infrastructure Investment Summit, which was co-hosted by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the U.S. Department of Transportation on September 9th, 2014 at the Main Treasury Building.

Treasury developed the idea for the Report after concluding that a lack of information may be hindering greater investment in infrastructure. Identifying specific projects with the greatest projected net economic benefits would not only call attention to their value, but also underscore the idea that infrastructure is a worthwhile, long-term investment with real benefits and returns to local and regional economies, rather than wasteful spending or a tool to create short-term jobs.

The Report is being pursued as part of the broader Build America Investment Initiative (the "Initiative"), a government-wide effort to increase infrastructure investment and economic growth, which was announced by President Obama on July 17, 2014. Secretary Lew is the co-chair of the Build America Interagency Working Group (the "Working Group"), which was formed as part of the Initiative to expand and increase private investment and collaboration in various infrastructure asset classes, and will include a particular focus on improving coordination to accelerate financing and completion of projects of regional and national significance.

The Solicitation and Proposal Completion Checklist are attached. Submit any questions regarding the solicitation by 2pm EST on June 25, 2015.
