American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
About the Program
With the retail, commercial and housing markets virtually non-existent, and most states taking unprecedented hits to their capital budgets, many architecture, eng-ineering and contracting firms are looking for work in new markets, including work with the federal government through the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA). GSA currently owns more than 1,500 buildings around the country, with a backlog of repairs and renovations totaling $8.8 billion. To help resolve this backlog, and to reinvigorate the economy, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 provided $5.5 billion for the renovation of Federal buildings, courthouses, ports of entry, and the conversion of many Federal buildings to high-performance green buildings. This program will focus both on the opportunities available through the GSA, National Capital Region, as well as the procurement and contracting methods the GSA utilizes to acquire services.
