Sources
Value from Federal Asset Management
The ALN 2021 annual event featured a panel of federal asset management executives. We have referenced this program in the past, but prior to our “How can Asset Leadership Influence Infrastructure Spending?” Roundtable, we think that either the short highlight clips or the entire program at this link is a good backgrounder. Special attention can be paid to Chris Vick’s comments that the recent infrastructure bill gives the Bureau of Reclamation $3.2 billion over 5 years to address maintenance backlog, because they had an asset management plan that listed all of their needs.
