THE 30-SECOND BRIEF

What's planned

Add fair boxes and bus route signage (using 5307 funding) to the TIP for fiscal year 2026. Also, fixed route bus replacement (using 5339 and 5307 funding) to buy one new fixed route bus in 2027, and additional fair boxes in 2028, and another fixed route bus in 2029 and 2030.

Background

Inferred: The funding strategy involves combining 5339 (bus and bus facilities) and 5307 (general bus operations) funding to cover the costs. Transpo is proactively programming these projects to avoid delays due to federal budget timing.

Questions about this project

What is a pre-RFP?

A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Michiana Area COG's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
