Infrastructure Projects
OVERVIEW
Infrastructure projects—whether for transportation, water systems, broadband, energy, or public facilities—require significant planning, cross-agency coordination, and sustained advocacy. These projects often span years and demand support from multiple funding sources, regulatory approvals, and political stakeholders. CPRA Strategies partners with local governments, utilities, and private developers to secure infrastructure dollars, shape public policy, and guide competitive procurement efforts. We help clients cut through bureaucracy, build community support, and move projects from concept to construction.
SERVICES
Grant Writing Services
We help clients pursue and secure funding through federal and state infrastructure programs, including the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) grants, the California Transportation Commission’s Local Partnership Program, and infrastructure components of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. We conduct thorough research to align projects with funder priorities, write persuasive applications, and manage technical components like cost-benefit analyses and community impact metrics. Whether it’s a small town replacing aging water pipes or a city building a multimodal transit corridor, we know how to tell a story that wins funding.
Public Affairs Services
Infrastructure projects require more than engineering—they require political will. We build advocacy campaigns that elevate infrastructure priorities to decision-makers at the Capitol, in city halls, and at regional planning bodies. Our team lobbies for project-specific funding, helps navigate environmental permitting processes, and leads public outreach strategies to inform and engage communities affected by the work. From town halls to stakeholder coalitions, we create messaging and engagement strategies that reduce friction and accelerate approvals.
Procurement Services
Major infrastructure projects often trigger a complex public procurement process involving Requests for Qualifications, Requests for Proposals, design-build contracts, and construction management bidding. For contractors and consultants, we provide strategic proposal writing, competitive positioning analysis, and support through award and debrief stages. Our goal is to help clients compete effectively and avoid disqualifying missteps.
