From the meeting
VDOT proposed amending the FFY2024-27 metropolitan transportation improvement program (MTIP) to add a Construction: Rail State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) grouping for UPC 129909. The amendment would add $30,000 for preliminary engineering in FFY26 and $206,000 for construction in FFY27. The project is active and already has funding programmed in the SYIP.
This creates a near-term rail construction and engineering opportunity tied to an identified project.

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.
When will Tri Cities Area MPO issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Tri Cities Area MPO's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with Tri Cities Area MPO before the RFP is published?
Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account sends you the pre-RFPs that fit what you sell, with the AI brief and the decision makers for the top matches in each digest.
