Upon approval of this proposal, Bolton & Menk will work closely with the City staff to prepare a persuasive funding application that meets the submittal requirements of the BUILD program. Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development (BUILD) Transportation Grant BUILD Transportation grants replace the pre-existing Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) grant program. U.S. DOT has formally announced a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to apply for $900 million in discretionary grand funding through the BUILD program. FY 2019 BUILD Transportation grants are for investments in surface transportation infrastructure and are to be awarded on a competitive basis for projects that will have a significant local or regional impact. BUILD funding can support roads, bridges, transit, rail, ports or intermodal transportation projects. The deadline for applications to be submitted online on July 15, 2019. For this round of BUILD grants, the maximum grant award is $25 million, and not more than $90 million can be awarded to a single state. Selection criteria encompass: safety, economic competitiveness, quality of life, state of good repair, innovation and partnerships with a broad range of stakeholders. Bolton & Menk will draft the BUILD Grant Application in partnership with the City. Our team will utilize existing and continually developing study content, our expertise in competitive federal grant programs, and our working relationship with agency stakeholders to guide development of a competitive BUILD application. Our team will prepare the request and necessary attachments as follows: • Project narratives • Project information form • Cost estimate • Schedule • Project layout/ graphics / maps • Agency resolutions • Letters of support H:\RAMS\T61116411\0_Ramsey Highway 10 Corridor Improvements\A_Project Management Ramsey Gateway BUILD Grant Assistance Proposal.docx Bolton & Menk is an equal opportunity employer.
