Abstract: This is a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) information collection request that is voluntary. It is for States that wish to compete for grants from the Fiscal Year 2024 Competitive Highway Bridge Program (CHBP). The CHBP provides funding for bundled bridge replacement and rehabilitation projects. The CHBP requirements, and funding in the amount of $250 million, are authorized in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024, Public Law 118-42, Section 126, March 9, 2024. Information will be collected from as many as eighteen State Departments of Transportation (State DOTs) that are eligible to apply. The collection will request project applications that FHWA will use to make determinations on grants. Applications are submitted once (one time frequency) with as many as three applications submitted by each eligible State DOT. FHWA will review the collected information to establish project eligibility, and evaluate project merit, readiness, and contribution to priorities and strategic goals. Examples of the information that will be collected include summary project information describing work type and scope, costs, and cost sharing. Information will include National Bridge Inventory and other data that identifies the bridge locations, types, conditions, and attributes that explain improvement needs. Information will include narrative discussion, data, and analysis that demonstrates how the project satisfies the CHBP goals and merit criteria. Applicants that receive grants will be required to submit a grant agreement that memorializes commitments made in their application, semi-annual progress and financial reports that track progress and ensure financial accountability, and performance indicator values that are linked to project commitments and CHBP goals.
