Needs and Uses: EDA may award 

assistance for construction projects 

through its Public Works and Economic 

Adjustment Assistance (EAA) Programs. 

Public Works Program investments help 

support the construction or 

rehabilitation of essential public 

infrastructure and facilities necessary to 

generate or retain private sector jobs and 

investments, attract private sector 

capital, and promote vibrant economic 

ecosystems, regional competitiveness, 

and innovation. The EAA Program 

provides a wide range of technical, 

planning, and infrastructure assistance 

in regions experiencing adverse 

economic changes that may occur 

suddenly or over time. 

EDA is seeking an extension of the 

series of checklists and templates 

(formerly referred to as the ‘‘bluebook’’) 

that constitute EDA’s post-approval 

construction tools and the Standard 

Terms and Conditions for Construction 

Projects. These checklists and 

templates, as well as any special 

conditions incorporated into the terms 

and conditions at the time of award, 

supplement the requirements that apply 

to EDA-funded construction projects. 

Affected Public: Current recipients of 

EDA construction (Public Works or 

Economic Assistance Adjustment) 

awards, to include (1) cities or other 

political subdivisions of a state, 

including a special purpose unit of state
