Congress has passed a new budget blueprint that would provide relatively modest increases in federal spending for the current fiscal year and the next one. That could provide a boost for construction programs.

The Senate approved the compromise budget legislation early on Oct. 30, two days after the House had cleared the measure. President Obama is expected to sign it soon.

制定该措施后,将由国会拨款委员会决定如何将额外资金分配给数百个单独的联邦计划,包括资助建设的计划。

建筑帐户将必须与预算的所有其他领域竞争增加的馅饼。

Appropriators would have to produce final fiscal 2016 line-item numbers by Dec. 11, when a stopgap spending measure expires.

美国联邦和重型建筑部相关总承包商的董事吉米·克里斯蒂安森(Jimmy Christianson)谈到该协议时说:“这仍然是一个混合的袋子。”但他补充说,这项措施确实提供了两年“政府关闭的威胁较少”。

到目前为止,2016年12项个人拨款法案均未颁布。克里斯蒂安森(Christianson)寻求有关今年建设计划如何根据协议的票价方式的信号,在2016年审查了迄今为止在众议院搬迁的支出账单。

他说:“我认为(工程师兵团)是预算协议的赢家。”

But on the other hand, Christianson says that firms that focus on General Services Administration public buildings construction would be better off under another stopgap that continues funding at current levels than under a post-budget deal omnibus package.

这项交易是在众议院和参议院领导人和白宫之间达成的,将防止800亿美元的强制性预算裁员在2016财年和2017财年生效。

在接下来的两年中,这也将使可支配的支出增加160亿美元。

总的来说,预算措施要求2016财年的酌处收益为1.067万亿美元。这个总数只会在2017年略有上升,达到1.070万亿美元。

Within the 2016 discretionary total, nondefense spending—which includes most construction accounts—would receive $518.5 billion.

For 2017, nondefense spending would rise by a mere $40 million from 2016.

该立法还将在2017年3月15日之前提高美国债务限制。国库部警告说,除非国会行动,否则该国将在11月3日之前袭击上限。
