providing innovative solutions to Hawaii. We value our partnerships with clients
across the state and look forward to applying our depth of knowledge and
dedicated staff to advance your mission and goals. Jacobs is committed to
providing professional, financially responsible, and dependable service for the
County of Hawaii and submit our Statement of Qualifications for
TA.8) Grant Writer (Public Transit Grants and Federal Compliance Support).
For additional information, we are also submitting statements of qualifications with the Mass Transit Agency for the

Jacobs leads the global professional services sector, delivering solutions for a more connected, sustainable world.
Our proven approaches have helped clients to prioritize investment options and stack funding sources to maximize
total program value delivered; we will apply these same approaches to take best advantage of the County of
Hawaii’s funds. Our team will serve as your trusted partner to provide:
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
private clients. We offer the County of Hawaii a solutions-oriented firm with a contextual understanding of the
County of Hawaii’s needs and priorities, combined with our national funding and financing expertise, to assess
opportunities to leverage federal funds and develop a spending strategy.
TRACKING #: 006Qj00000DVZEvIAP ii
Industry leadership from our proposed team’s experience in developing many of the industry best practice
approaches and tools. As a leading engineering service provider, we are invested in your mission and are
dedicated to providing value by implementing necessary process changes, finding new methods/approaches to
solving problems, or redeploying proven products or services. 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 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

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
Coastal Resilience Working Group and identified grant
opportunities worth $1.2 million to $4.1 million.
As part of its support to the virtual stakeholder effort, Jacobs
created a website that could be used to share information with
both the stakeholders and the public at large:
http://tyndallcoastalresilience.com/.

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
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.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
In 2010, MSDGC had a team of 30 consultants engaged in the
planning, design, and construction of the $1 billion Phase 1
Consent Decree program. Jacobs led all consultants and executed
an aggressive strategy, using the principles of adaptive
management to plan, prioritize, finance, and oversee the
execution of over 100 projects by the end of 2018, meeting all
Consent Decree milestones. We worked with MSDGC to develop
new and enhanced systems, processes and policies, as well as
staff configuration and capabilities, to prepare them for managing
an increased annual CIP spend. We transitioned the program from
consultant-run to client staff-run, through mentorship, training,
and strategic hiring. Our structured transition of the work
performed by consultants resulted in a well-organized, energized,
engaged, and capable client team that took over management of
MSDGC’s long-term Capital Improvement Program.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Port of Moses Lake is blessed with assets that few ports in the
Pacific Northwest can match. From air freight capacity to highway
access, from affordable power to future rail, the Port drives Grant
County’s growth. We understand the Port’s assets and operations,
and we are using our corporate connections to help the Port
flourish as their strategic business partner.
Our team is supporting the Port in identifying and pursuing
funding sources to secure their future capital improvement
projects. We are developing strategies and supporting grant
applications to attract financial leverage from state and federal
programs such as ARRA, TIGER, BUILD, FASTLANE, and INFRA, to
name a few. Our focus is to provide the Port with a clear and
strongly supported statement of need for the capital
improvement planning, including the Port’s goals and objectives.
Our team is identifying potential organizations, programs, and
opportunities to leverage funding. We are creating a plan for
sustaining this effort and developing a strategy for building their
funding base. Our goal is to be a continued partner for the Port of
Moses Lake and help find solutions that provide them the ability
to continue successful economic growth and implement key
capital improvement projects that benefit the Port and its
surrounding communities.

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.
Jacobs is 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
17%
Minorities
Companywide Jacobs’ Northwest Region (including Hawaii)
We are continuously striving to increase our diversity counts by setting a goal
to achieve a 40-40-20 gender-balanced workforce around the globe (40%
men, 40% women and 20% open to any gender) over the next five years.
Processes used to Recruit Women and Minorities. Jacobs actively recruits
woman, minority, disabled, and veteran applicants at all levels. This is
achieved by posting promotional opportunities; assisting employees in
identifying promotional opportunities, tuition reimbursement, training, and
educational programs to enhance promotions and opportunities for job
rotation or transfer; and evaluating job requirements for promotion.
A Culture of Service
Jacobs is an Industry Liaison with the Better Business
Bureau (BBB), where we partner with local agencies and
firms to foster STEAM career paths in Hawaii. Jacobs has
partnered with the City and County of Honolulu,
University of Hawaii, Department of Education, and local
firms to outreach to K-12 student.

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
To us, 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. There is no cookie-cutter
approach, as everyone faces different challenges and desires different outcomes. Therefore, we customize our approach to the unique
needs of each relationship. 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

ABILITY OF CONSULTANT TEAM TO PERFORM CONTEMPLATED WORK
To meet Country of Hawaii’s needs to quickly respond to federal agencies funding notices with highly competitive proposals, Jacobs has
compiled an outstanding team of federal transportation grant experts; grant writers and economists with deep understanding of federal
funding programs; and subject matter experts across all the transportation modes that are likely to compete for forthcoming funding
programs. Our staff has a proven track record of securing transportation funding from federal grant programs – including those recently
awarded by the Biden administration’s federal agencies.
Our team offers the following expertise to deliver federal agencies discretionary grant applications on an as-needed basis:
Experienced project manager with deep experience in federal discretionary grant programs and a winning track record
Deep bench of grant writers with a record of winning federal agencies’ discretionary grants; expertise in developing strong and
comprehensive benefit cases and preparing grant application materials that effectively communicate infrastructure needs and
benefits
Economists experienced in conducting benefit-cost analyses using federal agencies’ compliant spreadsheet models
Senior advisors in the areas of transit, highways/traffic, Advanced Mobility and ITS, rail, bike/pedestrian/ADA, and other modes to
provide insights and QCQA for grant writing teams, along with engineering guidance when needed
Graphic designers and document production staff with expertise in developing innovative visual graphics and maps that will
differentiate County of Hawaii from competitors
A TESTED APPROACH
Our team has the expertise and experience to support County of Hawaii across all steps throughout the entire funding and grant
lifecycle, from project prioritization through congressional and stakeholder engagement activities (see Process graphic below).
1. Project Prioritization and Selection
At the beginning of the grant development process, our team can help County of Hawaii identify and prioritize projects that will be most
competitive for federal funding. We can develop a prioritization framework to evaluate candidate projects by criteria such as economic
impact, cost effectiveness, alignment to grant program criteria (e.g., equity populations served, resiliency project elements, etc.), as well
as other considerations that County of Hawaii may have such as geographic equity and political/stakeholder support, particularly for any
rural or disadvantaged communities that might be served through the multimodal/intermodal initiatives under this contract.
Our deep understanding of federal agencies grant programs allows us to utilize our own customized data templates, application
preparation schedules, decision flows, and annotated outlines and criteria checklists to accelerate project start-up. We will refer to these
throughout the application process to efficiently identify gaps in information that are key to understanding and communicating the
costs and benefits of County of Hawaii’s selected transportation projects.
2. Technical Analyses
Should any technical analyses or data collection be required to advance a grant application, our team is prepared to quickly mobilize
appropriate levels of Funding and Grant Lifecycle Process expertise. Our key staff has a thorough understanding of capital projects, have
led multiple grant applications for transit and rail planning efforts, and will work seamlessly with County of Hawaii staff to deliver
project cost estimates and schedules, lifecycle cost estimates, and other analyses that serve as a strong foundation for a federal funding
proposal to support your future improvement endeavors.

TRACKING #: 006Qj00000DVZEvIAP
COUNTY OF HAWAII | TA.8) GRANT WRITER (PUBLIC TRANSIT GRANTS AND FEDERAL COMPLIANCE SUPPORT)
3. Federal Readiness Strategy
To receive federal grant funding, applicants need to demonstrate that they can comply with federal requirements, including NEPA
environmental review, and project schedule requirements to verify that a project is delivered at the right time. Our team of federal
environmental and grant experts understand these requirements and can help County of Hawaii develop a federal readiness strategy to
confirm that candidate projects are most competitive for grant funding.
4. Telling the Story
Jacobs’ approach for delivering competitive federal agencies grant applications and BCAs has proven successful in countless federal
funding grant projects across the US. Key to our success and efficiency is assigning the use of a Lead Grant Writer to any Task Order from
our pool of grant writing support group, who each oversee and focus on one grant at a time. This approach enables the development of a
compelling and complete narrative that speaks to federal funding reviewers from beginning to end. This approach also allows our
technical team to work on multiple funding applications concurrently which delivers consistency and quality for County of Hawaii. The
benefit-cost analysis for each grant will similarly be managed by our Lead Economist, with assistance from one or more experienced
Supporting Economists or Analysts.
5. Benefit-Cost Analysis, Graphics, Visualization, and Production
When it comes time to develop a grant application, our team knows how to tell the story, overcome the challenges, and communicate
the benefits. We understand how to narrate in a manner which resonates with federal funding reviewers.
We will also deliver industry-leading benefit-cost analyses (described below) and graphics and mapping support to bring a project to
life.
6. Stakeholder and Congressional Support
Finally, the Jacobs DC-based government relations team, are engaged with national policymakers, and understand how to navigate
federal funding agencies, congressional appropriations committees, and the offices of members of Congress, should there be any need
under any Task Order assignment to leverage this ability.
SPECIALIZED QUALIFICATIONS OF CONSULTANT TEAM
In recent years, the Jacobs Infrastructure Funding and Grants Team has expanded rapidly. We understand this is a critical time for state
DOTs, as the passage of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) will infuse billions of additional dollars into infrastructure
funding. To secure as much federal funding as possible for its transportation priorities, County of Hawaii will need to be strategic,
coordinated, and efficient in responding to federal grant opportunities. We are ready to assist County of Hawaii to develop strategies
and prepare competitive applications that deliver discretionary funding awards.

TRACKING #: 006Qj00000DVZEvIAP
COUNTY OF HAWAII | TA.8) GRANT WRITER (PUBLIC TRANSIT GRANTS AND FEDERAL COMPLIANCE SUPPORT)
The environment of discretionary transportation funding is changing. From our team’s recent work on USDOT grant applications, we
know the Biden administration is prioritizing projects that advance equity, resilience and, for some grant programs such as RAISE, multi-
modal transportation investments. In just the last year alone, our team members have secured two INFRA grants and two RAISE grants
for large transportation investments, as well as grants for Bus facilities. Our success was owed to understanding how to bring forward
project elements and benefits—in both the application narrative and Benefit Cost Analyses (BCA)—that speak to County of Hawaii’s new
priorities.
Jacobs has developed a proprietary, excel-based tool for USDOT compliant BCA that has been refined over the years and was used most
recently in 2021 when Jacobs helped secure a $7 million RAISE grant for a bridge project in Reno, Nevada, as well as a $2.5 million FRA
CRISI rail grant in Maryland in 2020. Our bench of transportation economists can quickly estimate how a candidate project would score
under and suggest methods or data inputs to improve benefit-cost ratio. Our BCA tool has been refined to incorporate innovative benefit
calculations related to resiliency and multi-modal, active transportation users. Our economists can maximize expected project benefits
by incorporating demand projections and travel time savings for bike and pedestrian users of a project, as well as lifecycle cost savings
due to climate-related impacts on existing infrastructure. Regarding equity impacts, our team has been closely monitoring the
administration’s Justice40 Initiative and taking note of how a host of federal funding agencies are evaluating equity impacts. We have a
strong understanding of the range of datasets that provide insight into the equity populations served by transportation projects. We will
highlight these in County of Hawaii’s grant applications to verify resonance with federal agencies.
CAPACITY, SCHEDULE, AND WORKLOAD
Jacobs has invested significantly in our Infrastructure Funding & Grants team, bringing on several key hires and establishing a Program
Management Office to track funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and assist agencies across the country in securing federal
infrastructure investments. We already have a deep bench of grant writers, federal funding experts, and economists, and are continuing
to grow our team. This means that we can allocate the right resources at a moment’s notice when County of Hawaii requests assistance
for a given federal grant opportunity. We also have the capacity to support County of Hawaii with multiple applications at the same time,
as is often needed in this new environment of federal competitive funding.
Jacobs’ Infrastructure Funding and Grants Team is underway on only one other grants contract to support a transit agency on the east
coast with federal funding support. We do not have any other dedicated grants contract with a state DOT, allowing us to focus on County
of Hawaii as one of our national priorities.
Jacobs brings a qualified team of support professionals with this project. Our depth of expertise in the transportation industry affords
County of Hawaii a qualified group of multi-disciplined expertise and technical staff ready to meet your needs.
Jacobs is committed to providing the resources to meet your project needs, while providing a quality product on schedule and within
budget. Our mission is to serve County of Hawaii as a primary client and to confirm programs and funding for Hawaii’s investment in
infrastructure provides a safe, economical, and effective transportation network for the people, commerce, and communities.
