Infrastructure Solutions for State and Local Government

With the passage of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) and the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), the nation is investing trillions to rebuild America’s roads, bridges, and rails; expand access to clean drinking water and high-speed internet, and build clean energy infrastructure in urban and rural communities. CohnReznick has assembled solutions to assist government leaders throughout the lifecycle of their infrastructure program.

CohnReznick’s helps government stand-up infrastructure programs by identifying the capabilities needed to achieve objectives, developing an asset management strategy, and determining the staffing, data, and other resources needed to support effective infrastructure program management across hundreds of agencies and projects.

CohnReznick’s funding and financing solutions help government optimize the capital stack on projects by evaluating the financial implications of alternative delivery models, assisting in establishing contractual requirements, and creating clearly defined allocations of rewards, revenues, costs, and risks between parties.

CohnReznick helps state, local and tribal governments address the daunting challenge of identifying available funding sources, aligning those sources to the portfolio of projects, and managing a complex application process to procure funds to initiate projects.

CohnReznick’s fund administration and oversight solutions help decision-makers navigate the complex web of compliance requirements and deadlines, so funds are fully and efficiently utilized in support of infrastructure efforts.

Effective project management increases efficiency, reduces costs, enhances compliance, and drives stakeholder and public confidence. CohnReznick’s solutions drive accountability and transparency, allowing leaders to remain focused on serving the needs of their constituents.

Complex infrastructure projects provide numerous opportunities for project “leakage” and failures to comply with evolving federal, state, and local regulations.

Industry Insight

CohnReznick’s expertise in key infrastructure industries (Construction, Energy, Transportation, Broadband, Housing, and Water) allows us to be more effective in delivering our solutions as we understand how private enterprises in these sectors operate. This provides us greater understanding into the management, communications, and monitoring challenges.
