Troy,
Sorry to pester you but I need to give Jacobs an answer. Is this something you can cover with high
likelihood of partial reimbursement from the URA?

Hi Mandi,
Checking in. If we’re going to prepare this grant application we’ll need to get started this week.
Thanks!

Thanks John,
I will look this over with Travis and our engineering team early next week and get back to you.

Hi Mandi,
Please see attached. We’d perform this on a T&M basis and estimate a level of effort of $25k. Russell is out the rest of
this week but we were able to coordinate yesterday before he left and we got this wrapped up today for your review.
I agree the clock is ticking and not sure how much time you need on your end for review and approval but if you want to
give us a verbal “go” we will get started. We will need some of the background materials we discussed on the phone to
get off the ground. My cell is 208-863-6580, please call anytime to chat.

John,
I just wanted to circle back and see where you are on the proposal we spoke about last week. The clock
in ticking and I want to make sure this is something we can move forward on. If you need anything from

No worries, Mandi. I completely understand the post-vacation inbox madness. I’m copying Russell here,
he and I were discussing that if the City is interested in pursuing the grant we should get started soon, I
believe the grant application period closes in mid-October.
Let us know if you’d like us to join in a call with Travis or if there is any other info we can provide. Have a
great weekend!

John,
My apologies. I was out of the office for a week, and am still working my way through my inbox. The
inevitable price one pays for vacations!
We are interested in the planning grant, but I have not broached the subject with Travis since we spoke.
I do not have the capacity to take this on myself, so it might be an option to engage your services. I just
need to gauge Travis’ interest first. I will be in touch next week.

Good morning! I wanted to follow up on last week’s discussion, do you or Travis need any more
information around the grant opportunities we discussed and is there any interest in pursuing a
Reconnecting Communities planning grant?

John,
Tomorrow at 3:00 works for me for an initial call. If you could include Travis and I both
on a Teams invite, I will see if he can squeeze it in in between meetings.

Hi Mandi,
Thanks for reaching out! I’ve copied Russell Koff, our infrastructure funding and grants
lead, on this message. Russell is based in Denver but he’s here in Boise today and
tomorrow for some meetings. Russell and I are available tomorrow (Tuesday) after 3 pm
if that works for you for a short call. If you’ve already got an idea of infrastructure
related priorities, I think that’s all that is needed for this initial discussion. We have
some information on the various grant programs that we can share verbally and then
dive deeper into the details later as needed.
If tomorrow afternoon works for you I’ll set up a Teams meeting. If not, I’m happy to
schedule some time later this week or next.
Kind regards,
John

John,
Travis forwarded your email to me this morning. I would be very interested in having a
conversation with your grants team. We are already receiving inquiries from the private
sector about possible public/private partnerships related to the BIL funds, and I
anticipate more to come. Can you give me an idea of what information you would like
me to have ready in order to make the most of the conversation? We do not necessarily
have a list of priorities relative to the BIL, but we have internal priorities relative to
infrastructure-related projects.

Hi Travis,
Hope your summer isn’t too crazy with basketball and other sports activities, but the
last time we talked it sounded like that was not going to be the case!

For your consideration, I’ve attached Jacobs’ Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) notice of
funding opportunity (NOFO) tracking sheet. Our grants team is tracking all of the
anticipated federal funding opportunities that have come from the IIJA/BIL and we are
engaging with clients on developing grant applications or helping them with a broader
financial strategy to tackle capital projects. Our team has valuable lessons learned and
early successes from our grant assignments over the last five months and can provide
advice on how to best to position projects for competitive grant funding and build a
robust, forward-looking pipeline for funding.
I wasn’t sure if your city leadership team were tracking these or had identified any
opportunities of interest. If you’d like I’d be happy to set up a call to introduce our
grants team leadership and talk about City of Twin Falls priorities.
Take care and I look forward to hearing from you soon,
John
