Description

The purpose of this notice is to solicit applications for Large Bridge Project grants (a project with total eligible costs greater than $100 million) for awards under the Bridge Investment Program (BIP). This notice establishes a “rolling application” process for Large Bridge Project applications by providing the schedule, requirements, and selection process for such projects for the remaining available amounts of BIP funding provided by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) for FY 2023 through FY 2026, which total up to $9.62 billion (see section B.1 for details for funds available for each fiscal year). The FHWA will solicit applications for the other two BIP project categories in a subsequent NOFO: (1) Planning and (2) Bridge Project (a project with total eligible costs not greater than $100 million). This Amendment No. 2 amends the NOFO announcement first published on September 27, 2023. This amended NOFO among other things aligns the NOFO with current Administration and Department policies and priorities, provides a process for FY 2025 cycle applications to amend their applications, and other updates. A redline version of the amended NOFO that identifies changes is provided in addition to the clean version. Eligible applicants shall submit new applications that are responsive to this NOFO for consideration by August 1, 2025. Applicants currently under consideration for a submission prior to August 1, 2024, will be notified of the amendment process, as detailed in the NOFO Amendment No. 2. See Related Document section for copy of amended NOFO.
