The law 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.

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) would like to help tribes and LPAs make bundling a routine process for saving time, money, and resources, especially as additional funds from the IIJA are rolled out.

Don’t miss this worthwhile event if you are part of a tribe or LPA and work in planning/programming, design, construction, or asset management! The event is scheduled from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm Tuesday, June 28, and 8:30 am to 11:00 Wednesday, June 29.

*Also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
