What Stimulus Projects are Pump and Shovel Ready?

Sunday, September 27th, 2009

Be sure and review all three componets of my Blog for regular Stimulus News up-dates.

No.1 “What Stimulus Projects are Pump and Shovel Ready” will include Construction Bid Awards, Construction Bid Invitations and Ground Breaking Announcements.

No. 2 “Tools to Follow the Money” will lead you through Grant Money Distribution right down to giving you the capacity to locate every City and County Purchasing Department office in the United States. I was reminded by one of our readers there is more to the Water and Wastewater Industry than Bricks and Mortar. There is Clean Water Testing and Research. Added to this section are several Labratory and Research Department Locators.

No. 3 “Stimulus Funds for Pumps & Systems Who’s Asking and Who’s Getting?”. This section is a growing list of Local Agencies receiving ARRA Funds for projects that will have to be put out for Bid. Go to City, County or State Agency Locators in the “Tools to Follow the Money” section in order to locate an appropriate Contracting or Purchasing Office.

Remember: 02/17/10 is the EPA Deadline for Construction to begin or Contracts signed on all Clean and Drinking Water Projects included in its $6 Billion States Revolving Fund. Details are found on page 11 of this 49 page EPA Memorandum:  EPA Memo

Construction Stimulus Contract Awards and Notice of Up-Coming Bid Invitations – Note, This is not a complete list, and I suggest you use one of many reputable Construction Email Alert Services for more complete and daily notices of “Invitation to Bid” in the States of your interest.

Stimulus Funds for Pumps & Systems – Tools to Follow the Money

Sunday, September 13th, 2009

Recovery Act Stimulus Fund information can be found at: www.recovery.gov/

You may also wish to review Federal Grants on: www.grants.gov/

Stimulus Fund Summary Map review Contracts, Grants and Loans: Recovery Map

ARRA Funds are distributed through the Federal Agencies on this: 28 Agency List

Pump and System Projects are being funded by these 6 Federal Agencies:

1.    Department of Defense – Those water projects on Military Areas: DOD

2.    Department of Interior – Several Bureaus are using water Grants: DOI

3.    Department of Transportation – Some TIGER Grants include Dredging: DOT

4.    Environmental Protection Agency – Wastewater/Sewer Project News:  EPA

5.    National Science Foundation has $2.4 Billion Research Funds available: NSF

6.    US Corp of Army Engineers – Waterways and Dams: USACE

7.    US Dept of Agriculture – Rural Development Grants: USDA

These 7 Federal Agencies may have a few projects that are contracted out directly. Federal Recovery Contract Bid Opportunities may be viewed at: www.fbo.gov

Local Recovery Funds are distributed by the above Federal Agencies to 57 States and Territories plus Indian Tribes on this list: State, Local, Tribal and Territorial Information

Each State may contract out some projects directly. Follow up by going to each States Purchasing Departments, Open Contracts: States Purchasing Dept Locator

Each State awards Stimulus Funds to its Cities and Counties for qualifying Projects. I am regularly posting City, County and State Stimulus awards via local News. I find local News Media is fast to report any Federal Funds coming in to their area of news coverage.

Note! All EPA Clean and Drinking Water, State Revolving Stimulus Funds Awarded must have Construction Projects Started or Contacts Signed by the EPA Deadline of February 17, 2010. This deadline can be found on page 11 of this 49 page EPA Memorandum: EPA Memo

We should expect a RUSH TO BID by many local Agencies due to the EPA Deadline.

In addition to reading my regular up-dates I also recommend a subscription to one of many reputable Construction and Governmental Bid Email Alert Services.

Get on Bid Invitation Lists early. follow up on our listed Stimulus Announcements by going directly to each local City or County Website.  There you can navigate to an open bids section of a local Agency’s Purchasing Department and locate contacts by going to:

City Web Site Locator by State via the National League of Cities – City Locator

County Web Site Locator via the National Association of Counties – County Locator

Most Purchasing Department Web Sites will provide access to a list of who has picked up Contract Plans. This list will provide you with possible product sales leads.

Laboratory Research and Testing are a large part of maintaining Clean Water and Drinking Water. Links below will help you to follow Stimulus Grants for Research.

Science Works for Us is a Website set up to follow ARRA Stimulus Awards for Research: ScienceWorksForUs.org 

Search for an Accredited Laboratory for any Commodity via The American Association of Laboratory Accreditation: A2LA Directory 

University Research Association Member Websites can be located on this: University Research Association Directory 

These Free Public Notice Links below require a lot of time to navigate, however can provide Bid Information for 40 States.

For the States of AL, AR, AZ, DE, DC, FL, GA, IA, IL, IN, KS,KY, LA, MD, MI, MO, MS, MT, NC, ND, NJ, NM, OH, OR, SD, TN, TX, WA, WI, WV Go to: http://www.publicnoticeads.com/
