THE 30-SECOND BRIEF

What's planned

Spartanburg County Parks is applying to SCDOT’s Transportation Alternatives Program for $2.75M to help construct the RAISE Grant trail route. Total capital cost is $3.44M with a required 25% local match of about $688K. Trail and outdoor rec vendors, design firms, and maintenance/service providers should track this because, if awarded, the county will need design, construction, materials, signage, and long-term maintenance support for a sizable multi-use trail segment.

Background

Grant request summary dated 2026-07-10; Council agenda seeks approval to submit the TAP application supporting the federally funded RAISE trail route.

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.
