THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
On May 26, 2026 the Council approved applying for a $3 million Surface Transportation Block Grant, with a $600,000 city match, to support the Connect Conway corridors project. The city is already paying upfront for engineering and property acquisition, with consultants revising plans and an acquisition firm sending offers to owners. Transportation and engineering firms should monitor this grant and project, as rising construction and fuel costs could drive scope changes, overruns, and add‑on design or construction management work.
Street Fund has advanced about $325,000 for Connect Conway engineering; grant is through Metroplan with 80/20 match.

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.
