The challenge
Hurricane Sandy (DR-4085) inflicted catastrophic damage on New York City’s transit and ferry infrastructure, triggering one of the largest public infrastructure recovery efforts in U.S. history.
Recovering and defending billions in federal funding for transit assets demanded deep command of FEMA PA, FTA emergency relief, and federal compliance — under intense audit scrutiny.
Our approach
Managing a landmark recovery portfolio
As a leader on this effort, Jeff Abraham managed the $191.55M Staten Island Ferry recovery grant within a recovery portfolio approaching $9B, coordinating across federal agencies, city departments, and engineering teams.
Compliance and audit discipline
Every dollar was documented to withstand OIG and single-audit review, with procurement, cost, and progress reporting held to the highest federal standard.
The outcome
- $191.55M Staten Island Ferry recovery grant managed
- $9B Hurricane Sandy recovery portfolio experience
- Zero audit findings across managed portfolios
- Standards now applied to every GrantCity engagement
