- Identify formula issues, structural gaps, inconsistent assumptions, and opportunities to improve clarity and robustness
Federal, State & Municipal Funding Analysis
- Review assumptions tied to federal water funding programs such as State Revolving Funds, WIFIA, IIJA allocations, and related supplemental funding streams
- Evaluate integration of state-level water financing mechanisms, bond issuance dynamics, municipal capital improvement plans, and utility-level planning inputs
- Cross-check infrastructure assumptions against EPA needs survey materials, funding flows, and state or municipal planning logic
- Prepare clear written explanations for funding, financing, and capital planning conclusions based on source materials and verifiable criteria
Scenario, Policy & Infrastructure Planning Support
- Review policy scenario modeling involving funding changes, allocation shifts, regulatory impacts, capital planning assumptions, and projected infrastructure investment needs
- Evaluate municipal CIP rollups, needs assessment extrapolations, capex timing assumptions, and policy-driven outputs
- Provide structured feedback on model accuracy, realism, sensitivity design, and public infrastructure planning logic
- Maintain accuracy, consistency, and professional judgment across submitted work
