Fully integrated local team with extensive reach-back capability into our global team. We are a global
organization of over 60,000 employees, including over 100 engineers, planners, and scientists based in Hawaii.
One of our defining capabilities is to build a blended team of local and global experts to work closely and
collaboratively with the County of Hawaii. We carefully select individuals with knowledge and experience in
delivering similar services. The result is a vastly experienced team of experts and engineering practitioners who
will apply their knowledge to deliver critical projects efficiently. Our team is supported by our Financial Services
and Government Relations team in Washington, DC, to maximize our value offerings to our municipal and

TRACKING #: 0063f000009AVJNAA4
Industry leadership from our proposed team’s experience in developing many of the industry best practice
approaches and tools. As a leading provider of planning, design, and engineering services, we provide end-to-
end solutions for our clients’ most complex challenges related to climate change, energy transition, connected
mobility, integrated water management, and smart cities. We aim higher and are dedicated to implementing
necessary process changes, finding new methods and approaches to solving problems, or redeploying proven
products or services to improve the lives of people everywhere. Our approaches to facilitating prioritization of
investment options and to financial planning strategies overall were developed and tested through industry
association research projects that we have led. These include the Capital Planning Strategy Manual and Capital
Funding Imperatives projects that we led for the Water Research Foundation.
Commitment to exploring the full universe of funding and financing options. Our Government Relations team
in Washington, DC, routinely tracks emerging federal legislation, such as the American Jobs Plan (Infrastructure
Bill) that is currently in development, so that we can bring information on opportunities for federal funding to
our clients. In addition, we use our subscription to the GrantFinder service and other direct research to look for
additional opportunities for federal, state, and foundation funding that might be available to supplement the
County of Hawaii’s funding. As an example of our track record in helping clients to secure federal funding, during
the first four years of the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA) low-interest loan program
(which is administered by the Environmental Protection Agency and which provides unique flexible repayment
terms), we helped clients secure funding for more than $1.8 billion in total project value.
We understand the County of Hawaii. Jacobs has a long history of working with the County of Hawaii which
dates to when we were CH2M Hill. Our comprehensive understanding of your objectives and challenges,
combined with our technical resources, enables us to respond quickly, apply existing knowledge, and develop
and implement expedited solutions.
Immediate availability of our key staff and depth of resources translates into responsiveness and a
commitment to delivering your wide array of projects efficiently. Our team is immediately available to the
County of Hawaii to deliver specialized planning and design services to meet your specific needs and goals.
I am your point of contact responsible for responding to all your requests and concerns and will make sure resources
are available when needed. We have proposed staff who bring the specific expertise necessary for your requested
services and we will find additional resources to meet other needs that may arise. Please feel free to contact me at

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Palouse Basin groundwater aquifer has been declining for
years and many studies and evaluations have previously been
performed to address the situation to stabilize and possibly
restore water to historic levels within the aquifer. The Palouse
Basin Aquifer Committee (PBAC) and its member organizations
strive to identify and implement alternative water supplies in lieu
of continued groundwater withdrawals. From the multitude of
options considered, four unique supply alternatives have been
identified. Work as part of this project included exploring
strategies for phasing each of the supplemental water supply
alternatives and laying out the approach to allow each of the four
large projects to be implemented in a phased manner with
projected cash flow requirements allocated over time.
One of Jacobs’ roles for the project has been to develop a
financing strategy for the substantial capital costs for the four
identified options, which range from $60 million to $80 million.
In working with PBAC to develop the recommended financial
strategy and next steps toward implementation of a financial
plan, we:
Facilitated dialogue with PBAC members on priorities for the
funding program
Researched grant and loan programs available through the
Washington and Idaho state agencies
Reviewed organizational and financing powers options
available within state-enabling legislation for the cities and
counties within the PBAC service area to finance the large
capital project options; assessed strengths and weaknesses of
the available options
Conducted runs of the GrantFinder tool to identify additional
potential grant funds that could be leveraged
Developed a memorandum summarizing the findings of the
research and recommended path forward toward
development of an implementable financing plan

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
After being severely impacted by Hurricane Michael in October
2018, Tyndall Air Force Base (AFB) seeks to rebuild as an
Installation of the Future.
The purpose of the Coastal Resiliency Business Case Study was to
evaluate alternative financing and delivery strategies, accelerate
program development, and reduce or defer reliance on military
construction (MILCON) expenditures to rebuild Tyndall AFB. This
alternative financing study was commissioned to evaluate
external stakeholders’ interest from neighboring communities,
government agencies, conservation groups, academia, and other
groups in nature-based measures with regional resilience co-
benefits to form a coalition to support identification and securing
of funding to support the implementation of nature-based coastal
resiliency solutions.
The technical studies identified several promising nature-based
technologies that merited development and trial at a pilot scale.
A critical aspect of work was the successful identification of
multiple additional funding sources to support the
implementation of nature-based solutions (funding sources that
would not have been available for conventional solutions) and the
identification and engagement of many stakeholders willing to
help secure funding and become partners in implementing the
pilot projects.
While the pilot case studies were being developed, stakeholder
workshops were held in the spring of 2020 with potential
partners.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the workshops were held in a virtual
environment through Microsoft Teams meetings and with
communications through social media.
The workshops included potential federal partners, state and local
officials, non-government organizations (NGOs), and members of
academia.
The workshops were an effective means of bringing expertise and
insight from across a wide spectrum of stakeholders into a shared
space where they could collaborate, test new ideas and explore
innovative funding routes. Attendees included organizations such
as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
including its Engineering with Nature group, Florida Department
of Environmental Protection, Jacobs, the University of Georgia’s
Institute for Resilient Infrastructure Systems, and the University of
Florida Engineering School of Sustainable Infrastructure &
Environment.
The workshops were a resounding success, with over 130
participants representing 30 organizations in attendance. The
workshops and follow-on meetings also enabled the creation of

As part of a follow-on contract, we are supporting the Air Force in
continuing the work of the stakeholder work group and in
developing priority grant applications. Through one of these grant
applications, Tyndall AFB was recently awarded $4.8M from the
Readiness and Environmental Protection Integration (REPI) grant
program to design several of the nature-based coastal resilience
pilot projects.
A second REPI grant valued at $12 million to further develop
some of the nature-based solutions was recently submitted for
consideration. In addition, the National Fish and Wildlife
Foundation, one of the base stakeholders, has already provided
approximately $6 million in supporting resources to aid in the
coastal restoration efforts at the base.
The Tyndall AFB business case study, including the approach to
forming funding coalitions has been recognized as leading model.
The study that we led, and subsequent formation of the
stakeholder workgroup, were honored as the 2021 recipient of
the International Excellence Award in the prestigious Flood and
Coast Awards program by the UK’s Environment Agency, which
performs duties comparable to the EPA, FEMA, and US Army
Corps of Engineers in the US, as detailed in this blog by Tyndall

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
As part of an asset management study for the City of Ann Arbor’s
wastewater and stormwater assets that was conducted in 2016
and 2017, we facilitated a workshop to refresh the CIP
prioritization framework that was initially developed in 2007. The
update process included revisiting the formulation of
prioritization criteria and the performance measures used to
assess the contribution of candidate projects to the criteria, based
on Ann Arbor’s experience in working with the current framework
and examples from our work with more than 40 municipal
agencies in addressing prioritization issues. The resulting updated
prioritization framework was incorporated into the CIP
prioritizations for all 10 city departments for more than 10 years.

Developed, pilot tested, and finalized a self-assessment
benchmarking tool for each attribute, practice area, and
associated performance measure
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Jacobs led a research project for the Water Research Foundation
(WRF), to create a benchmarking framework and tool that can be
used by water and wastewater utilities to conduct self-
assessments for the 10 attributes of EUM identified in an EUM
document that was sponsored by EPA and six water industry
associations, as published in 2008. The EPA representative to the
original Primer, Jim Horne, served on the Project Advisory
Committee for the WRF project, and the six industry associations
(Association of Metropolitan Water Agencies, American Water
Works Association, National Association of Water Companies,
National Association of Clean Water Agencies, and Water
Environment Foundation) served as advisors to the research
effort. Our role included:
Leading development of a literature on the current state of
practice within the 10 attributes and current performance
metrics
Working with a team of 45 participating utilities to develop
and test an EUM-focused benchmarking framework and tool,
which was developed as a user-friendly Excel spreadsheet
application
More than 25 utilities conducted self-assessments and provided
feedback during the testing phase that was included in the project
design.
Over 80% of the utilities found that EUM benchmarking process
and tool identified in this project were useful in identifying target
areas for management attention and in identifying strategies to
address gaps that are identified through the benchmarking
process.
Feedback from the utilities was incorporated into the final version
of the tool. Both the tool and project report were made available
as public documents by WRF on its website in early 2014 at:
https://www.waterrf.org/research/projects/performance-
benchmarking-effectively-managed-water-utilities
Jacobs facilitated a day-long workshop to gain insights from
utilities that used the benchmarking tool/process and
documented the findings in a final report submitted to WRF.

childcare, infrastructure, water, and transportation. Jacobs
developed a project prioritization rubric to score projects
recommended by the City of Boise. This scoring effort was
followed by a funding strategy development memorandum
outlining opportunities to leverage the funding with state and
federal loan and grant opportunities to maximize the impact on
preferred projects. Jacobs is currently following up this effort with

ABOUT JACOBS
Jacobs is committed to global sustainability, which exemplified in how we operate our business, how we perform our work, how we
partner with clients and other organizations, and how we continue to look at ways to make a positive environmental, societal, and
economic difference for businesses, governments, and communities locally and around the world.
At Jacobs, we are invested in making the world a better place—from addressing water scarcity and aging infrastructure to ensuring
access to life-saving therapies and protecting against sophisticated cyberattacks—what we do is more than a job, it’s an investment in
the success of our clients, communities, and future generations. Therefore, we bring a thoughtful and collaborative approach to every
one of our partnerships and help our partners make a positive impact on the world. Regardless of project size, we use best practices to
provide a comprehensive and proactive approach to any project and deliver our clients’ vision of success.
Jacobs Operations: Leadership on Climate Change
In April 2020, we published our first Climate Action Plan, committing to 100%
renewable energy for our operations in 2020 and net zero carbon for our
operations and business travel by 2030. Alongside achieving our 2020 targets,
we developed science-based carbon-reduction targets for our direct and
indirect emissions, approved by the Science-Based Targets Initiative.
In FY20, we saw a 33% reduction in total, calculated carbon emissions
(Scopes 1 and 2 and a portion of Scope 3) to 116,466 tCO2e, as well as a 50%
reduction in our travel-related carbon emissions—compared to our updated
FY19 baseline. Most of these emissions reductions directly resulted from
changes in operations due to the pandemic. We also outlined how we will start
to bring climate uncertainty into the mainstream as part of our enterprise level
risk assessment process, in line with recommendations made by the Task Force
for Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD).
Our ESG Disclosures Report provides supplementary information regarding our
environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance, organized according
to the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) framework.
Sustainable Solutions for Clients
Together with our clients, we craft solutions that affect the way people live. From accelerating the next generation of innovators to
developing the world’s first ultra-low emission zone, and from helping communities recover to protecting public health by monitoring
water quality, we solve for better, never losing sight of our responsibility to each other. For example:
Alongside Shell Pipeline Company, we turned more than 96,000 plastic bottles into a natural infrastructure solution helping
protect Louisiana’s shrinking coastline and serving as a model for balancing coastal infrastructure integrity and an evolving natural
environment
Transforming space waste into building blocks for future exploration and sustainability, our innovative solution for beneficial reuse
of heat-resistant materials also eliminated $50,000 in disposal costs at Kennedy Space Center
Employing digital twin technology and simulations, we helped one confidential, private-sector client reduce energy consumption by
33% using control-logic operational improvements
Through safely managing one of the world's-largest remediation programs, the Central Plateau at the U.S. Department of Energy’s
Hanford Site, we’ve cleaned up more than 19.3 billion gallons of groundwater to date—supporting the overall mission of protecting
the Columbia River
Our Commitment
Jacobs provides several online reports detailing our
policies and plans related to sustainable business
practices, including:
Jacobs Climate Action Plan captures the shared
passion and pride of our people as we work to
preserve our planet for future generations
Jacobs Sustainability Strategy (2018-2020) sets
out our plans for integrating sustainability into our
business

DIVERSITY, EQUITY, & INCLUSION
At Jacobs, we do things right, we challenge the accepted, we aim higher, and we live inclusion. In the face of these challenging times, we
must focus on resilience, strength, and connection to emerge stronger, together. We, like you, are committed to diversity in employment
and to increasing contracting opportunities for certified Disadvantaged, Minority-Owned, Women Owned, Emerging Small Business
(D/M/W/ESB) enterprises. In addition to meeting requirements for subcontracting, we work closely with our D/M/W/ESB partners to
identify appropriate, meaningful, and significant roles—with a commitment to truly deliver value on those scope assignments and
promote a more inclusive workforce for future generations.
Our Cultural Competency/Diversity Training Efforts
Jacobs is committed to improving our talent management and development processes by distributing training, professional
development, career advancement, and mentoring equitably across the company. A sampling of how we achieve this includes:
Jacobs Employee Networks (JENs). Our eight, active networks represent more than 23,000 employees, working to promote inclusion
and equality companywide. These employee-led and organized groups are centered around offering opportunities to collaborate with
others around the world and continuously develop a safe workplace where employees can be their authentic selves. A few examples
include our Women’s Network, Prism, Harambee, and Careers Network JENs’ collaboration with human resources to appoint the first
female executive vice president in the company’s history; install gender-neutral bathroom facilities in offices; provide leadership
development programs to accelerate advancement for black employees to mid- and senior-level leadership; and increase hiring to total
959 interns and 873 graduates globally.
Diversity in Succession Planning. We’re developing all our talent to confirm we have broadly diverse candidate and succession pools
and preparing our globally talent for more senior roles. Our Women’s Network and Harambee JENs play a strong role in providing
monthly career development presentations, regularly posting internal leadership positions, and being a constant advocate for diversity
at all career levels, companywide.
Employee and Leadership Development Training. Jacobs offers more than 30 new Inclusion & Diversity eLearning courses for all
employees to help advance awareness. Nearly all our employees (98%) have completed conscious inclusion training to develop the
skills necessary to foster a more inclusive and diverse workplace. We also annually offer executive internships where young employees
can partner with executive leaders to increase their business acumen and broaden their professional expertise across all career types.
Professional, Executive, and/or Technical Staff Comprising Women and/or Minorities
Having a culture of belonging where everyone can join in and thrive allows us to recruit and retain the best global talent and drive
innovative solutions for our business, clients, and communities. That’s why in a company of more than 60,000 professionals, our
diversity counts are at:
60%
Executive Team
55%
Board
31%
Women

Company Initiatives to Promote Opportunities and Encourage Community Inclusion and Outreach Efforts
Company Initiatives to Advance Community Inclusion. Over the last year, we have seen tangible examples of progress from our
approach to inclusion, the most remarkable being the launch of our global Action Plan for Advancing Justice and Equality. Driven by
members of our Black employee network, Harambee, in partnership with our executive leadership team and Jacobs’ board of directors,
the plan sets out actionable initiatives and measurable objectives to address embedded and systemic racial inequalities both within
Jacobs and in comm unities across the world. Other recent diversity and inclusion achievements include:
Jacobs Equality Matching Campaign. Launched the Jacobs Equality Matching Campaign, matching up to $100,000 of employee
donations to eligible causes dedicated to inclusion, equality, and justice around the world.
Incentivize and Reward Inclusive Leadership. Created the global TogetherBeyond Inclusive Leader of the Year Award to incentivize and
reward inclusive leadership.
Joined the Business Coalition. This group of more than 270 leading U.S. employers—including many of our clients—support passing
federal legislation providing the same basic protections to LGBTI+ people as those afforded to other protected groups under U.S.
federal law.
Position on the NSBE Board of Corporate Affiliates. We have a goal to strengthen our commitment to developing and hiring the best
diverse talent with organizations like the U.S. National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), the U.S. Society of Hispanic Professional
Engineers (SHPE) and Building Equality, the U.K. construction industry’s leading LGBTI+ alliance. This year, we were proud to take our
place on the NSBE Board of Corporate Affiliates—their top national support level—and we are proud to have one of our leaders, Freddie
Fuller, currently serving as National Chair of the Community of Minority Transportation Officials (COMTO).
The Valuable 500. We joined the Valuable 500, an organization seeking to place and keep disability inclusion on business leadership
agendas across the globe.
Outreach Efforts for Underserved Communities. Successful team inclusion relies on developing relationships within the consultant
community. Inclusion begins when individuals build rapport, understand each other’s strengths and experiences, and identify mutually
beneficial opportunities to pursue. We believe the strength of Jacobs’ inclusion strategy and plan is centered around continuously
building these relationships, which all begins with outreach—networking to make those initial connections that eventually lead to
successful project delivery.
Our Plan to Obtain Maximum Utilization of Small Businesses
As a prime consultant, our responsibility is to share work won through large contracts with smaller firms. To that end, we continue to
nurture our partnerships with the small, diverse businesses who can provide the experience and resources we need to deliver our
projects. Our strategy is focused on building valuable partnerships and capacity for our partner firms. We develop an inclusion plan
specific to each project, balancing the project’s needs with inclusion goals. Jacobs has a long history of supporting and serving as
mentors for small businesses in Hawaii.
Mentoring, Technical, or Other Business Development Services We Provide to Previous or Current Small Business
Subcontractors or Partners
For Jacobs, inclusion is about more than meeting percentage goals. Mentoring is simply the natural progression of our relationships
with our subconsultants, which builds their expertise, broadens their network, and strengthens their business acumen. We customize our
approach to the unique needs of each relationship based on the specific challenges and desired outcomes. For each task order, we
collaborate with the appropriate subcontractors to develop a technical approach and establish budget and schedule controls. We assess
each subcontractor’s workload and availability to deliver quality work products within the schedule. We develop staffing plans for each
assignment, drawing on our D/M/W/ESB team members to provide meaningful growth opportunities for future work, reflecting our
understanding and commitment to client’s small business goals. We create opportunities using these and other approaches:
Mentor D/M/W/ESB staff by delegating project management duties for small projects to our partner firms. In addition, production
and senior technical staff across all partner firms are available for quality control and mentoring roles
Provide meaningful and substantial roles on all work orders or contracts to leverage and develop our partner’s capabilities
Provide opportunities for thought leadership. Our D/M/W/ESB partners bring unique perspectives, and we capitalize on this to
deliver broadly informed projects, plans, and policy to our clients

PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND COST CONTROL
We have developed a proven system for managing and delivering projects that all our task order managers are required to follow, and
we perform periodic internal project delivery audits to deliver compliance with the standard procedures and key requirements that make
up our management system. Our project management, deliver cost, and schedule systems are scalable to meet the needs of each
project, and provide consistency and efficiency.
Our Project Delivery System (PDS) provides the framework to plan our work and deliver high-quality, responsive services. We developed
the PDS by reviewing more than 3,000 projects to identify the characteristics of the most successful projects, as well as the most
frequent and costly contributors to negative performance. This review concluded that successful projects are executed as a system, not
as a series of tasks.
The PDS enables our staff to successfully execute each task order within contractual terms – namely, quality, cost, schedule, and
performance. The PDS guides all aspects of a project, providing a consistent, efficient, and effective means for successful performance
and delivery. We believe that the keys to achieving schedule and budget commitments are: (1) project planning, (2) project chartering
and teaming, and (3) frequent project communication at all levels.
Our project management (and cost control) approaches encompass the following:
Developing the Project Execution Plan
Establishing Project Systems
Chartering the Team
Managing the Team
Managing Change
Managing Quality
Managing Health and Safety
Managing Project Financials
Manage Project Controls
Review and Report

Meeting Deadlines for Scheduled Deliverables
Over the last decade, the County of Hawaii has managed its services through times of substantial change, including responding to
regulatory challenges, attrition at many levels of the County of Hawaii’s staff organization, natural disasters, and to a pandemic that
necessitated a changed focus on public health issues. Throughout these unpredictable years, the County of Hawaii has maintained its
focus on providing quality services to its citizens and planning for sustainability and enhanced quality of life for its citizens.
Our approach to supporting the County of Hawaii in these efforts employs prioritization and financial planning processes and tools that
we have used to successfully help other municipalities and agencies define investment programs that maximize value for stakeholders.
This is the kind of effort that Jacobs is excited to support. We know how to support the County of Hawaii in best using these federal
funding resources to address the most pressing immediate needs, while positioning the County of Hawaii for long-term enhanced
sustainability and economic prosperity.
PROJECT TASKS
This section identifies the specific tasks that we will conduct to help the County of Hawaii identify investment opportunities that offer the
best opportunity to meet priority near-term and long-term needs.
Project Initiation
We have found that it is useful to have a project kickoff workshop with key participants from the client organization and consulting team
to make certain there is alignment on the goals for the project and the specific path forward that will be used to accomplish key tasks.
Prior to the kickoff meeting, we will work closely with the County of Hawaii’s designated program manager to collect existing
background material, such as any lists of candidate projects/uses for the federal funds that have been developed by the County of
Hawaii and any background material or insights related to plans for use of the federal funds, to support development of slide shows and
supporting materials for a productive kickoff meeting.
The kickoff meeting will be used to confirm alignment on goals for the study, the approach, and schedule. In addition, during the kickoff
meeting we will address issues such as:
Which stakeholders should be included in the project prioritization and financial planning efforts
Early insights on potential leveraging opportunities for various types of investment options, based on the current state of
development of federal stimulus legislation and other potential sources of leveraging funds

COUNTY OF HAWAII | OH.6) COMMUNITY PLANNING (GRANT WRITER)
Priority Project/Investment Identification
Jacobs has helped dozens of municipal agencies to prioritize their investment options based on the contribution that the investment
options make to accomplishing prioritized goals and objectives. When we helped the City of Ann Arbor, Michigan, to prioritize the
projects in their CIP for water treatment and water resources as part of a master plan study in 2007, Ann Arbor adopted the approach
and tool that we licensed to them to prioritize investments for all 10 city departments, ranging from transportation to water and public
building projects.
To create a transparent process for prioritizing the candidate uses for the funds, we will work with key stakeholders through a
prioritization process that will include identification and weighting of relevant criteria. We will then work closely with the County of
Hawaii to develop a scoring system to measure the contributions of the candidate projects to meeting the criteria.
Strategic Funding Plan
To identify the best way to integrate the funds into the County of Hawaii’s overall financial planning process, including identifying the
best opportunities to leverage the money into additional outside funding, we recommend using a systematic, four-step financial
planning process that efficiently aligns the funding choices with a community’s overall financial objectives, such as maintaining a strong
credit rating, providing fair and equitable taxes and user charges to customers, etc. The four steps that are illustrated below are detailed
in the subtasks that follow.
Following a systematic financial planning process improves the opportunity to maximize funding and benefits to stakeholders and customers.
Step 1. Identify and Prioritize Goals and Objectives for the Funding Program
A key step in successful financial planning is identifying key priorities for the financial program. The relative importance of sometimes
competing objectives for the financial program can affect the attractiveness of the candidate financing and funding options. The exhibit
below shows some of the funding program goals that are important in selecting funding mechanisms. For example, some options for
leveraging federal funds may involve taking advantage of low-interest low options with flexible repayment plans, such as the loans
offered in the water sector by U.S. EPA through the Water Infrastructure Financing and Innovation Act (WIFIA) loan program. For some of
these options, the relative importance of revenue generation vs. potential impact on financial ratings or other goals should be
considered.
To set the stage for the consideration of different leveraging funding options, we will facilitate a discussion of the drivers/goals specific
to the County of Hawaii’s financial program.
STANDARD FORM 330 (REV. 7/2021) | 39
TRACKING #: 0063f000009AVJNAA4
COUNTY OF HAWAII | OH.6) COMMUNITY PLANNING (GRANT WRITER)
Step 2. Identify and Evaluate Candidate Funding Strategies and Options to Leverage the Funds
Through our work with other clients that have accessed federal funds, we understand that there are numerous options for leveraging
these funds. For example, in the first four years of the EPA’s WIFIA loan program, we have helped clients secure low-interest loans with
flexible repayment terms for more than $1.7 billion in project value, providing up to 49% funding for the projects; the matching share
for these loans has come from a wide variety of sources, including grants, state revolving fund (SRF) loans, municipal bonds, and direct
charges. The exhibit below illustrates the wide range of funding sources that could be used as additional investments to build on the
projects for which the County of Hawaii uses the funding.
Federal stimulus money can be integrated with many other funding sources to fully fund your resilience programs.
We use the following key resources to help provide clients access to up-to-date opportunities for outside leveraging resources.
Jacobs’ proactive Government Relations team in Washington, DC, which continuously monitors funding options being made
available through federal legislation
Our use of GrantFinder and other funding research to identify up to date federal, state and foundation grant options
One requirement for any project is to “identify eligible funding sources to meet County of Hawaii’s strategic priorities, both for short-
term and long-term resiliency investments.” Our Government Relations team’s effort will help us efficiently support this requirement.
Step 3. Test Revenue-Generating Capability Against Needs
It is important to test whether the revenues that are likely to be generated from a selected strategy will provide the funds necessary to
accomplish the target program objectives. We will work with the County of Hawaii to develop forecasts that show the project
requirements to accomplish program objectives for the areas where funds are being applied, and whether the funds, in combination with
potential revenues from leveraging sources, are likely to support accomplishing the target objectives.
Step 4. Develop Implementation Plan
We will work with the County of Hawaii to develop an implementation plan that leverages funding for the selected investments. This will
include:
Identifying the deadlines for key grant and loan programs identified for implementation activities
Identifying strategies to improving the County of Hawaii’s opportunity for success in the grant and loan programs, such as potential
grouping of projects to improve the likelihood of scoring well, based on the evaluation criteria used for the specific targeted grant
and loan programs
Suggesting strategies for partnering with other local agencies that have received funding through the federal stimulus legislation
and exploring opportunities to develop coalitions to achieve a common goal
We have successfully helped several clients to create a coalition of stakeholders to support funding development for a common
purpose. For example, when Tyndall AFB was substantially damaged by Hurricane Michael in 2018, Jacobs was hired to help in planning
for the rebuilding of the base. As part of that effort, our proposed Project Manager Mike Matichich led a business case study to evaluate
whether there were nature-based coastal resilience options that would be a useful part of the strategy for protecting the rebuilt base,
and whether there were outside parties interested to partner with the base to provide resources to support the solutions. As part of that
effort, Jacobs facilitated several stakeholder workshops to test partnership interest in building regional coastal resilience, evaluating
alternative financing and delivery strategies, accelerating program development, and reducing or deferring reliance on military
construction expenditures to rebuild Tyndall AFB. Attendees included organizations such as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Army
STANDARD FORM 330 (REV. 7/2021) | 40

COUNTY OF HAWAII | OH.6) COMMUNITY PLANNING (GRANT WRITER)
Corps of Engineers (USACE), Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Jacobs, the University of Georgia’s Institute for Resilient
Infrastructure Systems, and the University of Florida Engineering School of Sustainable Infrastructure & Environment.
The workshops were a resounding success, with over 130 participants representing 30 organizations in attendance. The workshops and
follow-on meetings also enabled the creation of a Coastal Resilience Working Group and the initial identification of grant opportunities
worth $1.2 to $4.1 million. Subsequent stages of the project have enabled the group to identify synergies between 10 regional
programs and opened over 10 potential funding opportunities for the project worth up to $20 million.
Project Report and Recommendations
We will develop a final project report that integrates the findings of the preceding tasks, including:
Documentation of the projects/investments selected for use of funding and the basis for selection
Primary target financing funding options for leveraging funds into additional investment in the County of Hawaii community
Recommended implementation plan, including strategies for maximizing outside funding options and for collaborating with other
regional partners to increase the value of benefits delivered to County of Hawaii residents and businesses
PROJECT DELIVERY APPROACH
Communication Strategy
We will conduct bi-weekly check-in calls with the County of Hawaii on the status of the scoped activities and progress against milestone
deliverables. We will update to County of Hawaii leadership or other stakeholders as required. Through regular communication, we will
pivot as necessary to meet the needs of changing federal requirements or local County of Hawaii dynamics.
Budget and Schedule Management
Our projects are set up internally using a work breakdown structure, which assigns a budget for each discrete task. Our internal time
charging software requires labor to be recorded to specific tasks for tracking of overall project performance. This allows us on a real-
time basis to identify project tasks that are burning ahead of schedule, or lagging behind schedule, and make adjustments accordingly.
Resolving Concerns
We will maintain regular touchpoints with the funds’ program manager and County of Hawaii leadership to obtain feedback and insight
on the consulting team’s performance. We embrace an approach of direct communication and healthy dialogue. We will adjust our
consulting services delivery as dictated by County of Hawaii’s needs or by changing program guidelines through direct communication
and transparent processes.
UNIQUE APPROACHES AND CAPABILITIES TO ENHANCE PROGRAM DELIVERY
Our unique approaches and capabilities to enhance program delivery for this assignment include the following:
Proven approach and support tools to enable efficient and transparent prioritization of the candidate uses for the funds
Proven approach to conducting financial planning that supports identifying leveraging opportunities for the funds that are in
alignment with the County of Hawaii overall financial/funding objectives
Our Government Relations team as a key resource in tracking federal funding programs and evolving requirements for
qualifications for those funds
Our research tools, such as our subscription to the GrantFinder service to efficiently identify potential emerging federal, state, and
foundation grant options
Our track record in exploring funding partnership opportunities through facilitation of collaborative workshops and development of
shared communication platforms, such as the website that we created to support the funding partnership effort described above at
Tyndall AFB, which can be seen at http://tyndallcoastalresilience.com/.
In addition, in response to COVID-19, we have taken appropriate steps to protect the health and well-being of our people as well as the
continuity of our business operations. We continue to follow the current CDC, state, and local guidance related to safety precautions for
employees and clients.

We have adopted mitigation strategies and protocols based on recognized world standards and guidelines, applying companywide
travel restrictions and travel bans as necessary, implementing remote working for most of our employees, and leveraging best practices
and technology to communicate with and provide solutions to our clients. We have also implemented protocols for any employees,
partners or subcontractors traveling or working at essential client sites that consider the requirements of the work, client, and location.
We have spent the last years refining our ability to facilitate workshops, group activities, and garner stakeholder input in a virtual and
online environment, often using Microsoft Teams or other web-based communication platforms of interest to our clients. We employ
intuitive, collaborative tools that allow participants to engage; examples include using MURAL, a web-based whiteboard application,
and other tools that our team has successfully deployed, and which can be used as appropriate, to support collaboration for this project.
GRANT APPLICATION EXPERIENCE
Project funding today is more complex than ever before, requiring multiple partnerships and involving the private sector. Today’s
funding environment requires a strategy that includes a continuous quest for funds—starting at the project planning stage and
sometimes continuing through construction. We have demonstrated experience in acquiring funds in today’s competitive fiscal
environment. Our knowledge of grant and low-interest loan funding programs available from the Idaho Transportation Department and
FHWA, Transportation Infrastructure Bond (TIB), Freight Mobility Strategic Investment Board (FMSIB), EPA, and Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA), to name just a few, coupled with our ability to write successful grant applications and broker stakeholder
agreements with potential partners, and our strategic relationships with legislators in both Idaho and Washington, DC, are key in lining
up needed project funding. Our Government Relations team in Washington, DC, routinely tracks federal grant initiatives; our use of the
GrantFinder service described earlier to supplement those efforts provides early insight on potentially applicable grant funds.
Success in Helping Clients Secure Grants and Low-Interest Loans
We have a strong track record in helping clients identify projects that are good candidates for grant and low-interest loan programs and
to develop successful applications. For example:
For Tyndall AFB in Florida, we developed a successful grant application for $4.8 million that was recently awarded from the REPI
program to design several of the nature-based coastal resilience pilot projects that we identified in our business case study.
As second REPI grant to further develop some of the nature-based solutions was recently submitted for consideration. In addition,
the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, one of the base stakeholders, has already provided approximately $6 million in
supporting resources to aid in the coastal restoration efforts at the base.
Jacobs has helped transportation clients throughout the United States secure more than $250 million in grants from the many
grant programs administered through the Department of Transportation.
Jacobs has helped clients secure low-interest loans with extremely favorable repayment terms for more than $1.7 billion in total
project value during the first four years of the WIFIA loan program administered through US EPA, which was initiated in 2017. In
addition to interest rates as low as 1.27%, these clients have taken advantage of the flexible repayment terms, which allow
repayment to be delayed until five years after substantial construction of the project has been completed.
During the earlier round of federal stimulus legislation, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), when some
of the stimulus money for the water sector was made available as principal forgiveness loans, which were essentially grants, we
helped water sector clients qualify for $120 million in such funding.
Jacobs brings experience in obtaining federal money for our clients – we know the keys to success:
