The U.S. Department of Transportation's U.S. DOT Advanced Research Projects AgencyInfrastructure ARPA-I is seeking statements of qualifications from eligible entities defined by the Consolidated Appropriations Act 2024 as an accredited university of higher education in the northeast United States that has experience leading a regional university transportation center defined as a current or past U.S. DOT-funded Regional University Transportation Center UTC grantee and a proven record of developing patenting deploying and commercializing innovative composite materials and technologies for bridge and other transportation applications as well as conducting research and developing prototypes using very large-scale polymer-based additive manufacturing. The purpose of this Request for Information RFI is for the U.S. DOT to determine the eligibility of entities seeking to perform research development and demonstration tasks on durability resiliency and sustainability of bridges and other infrastructure to be funded by ARPA-I as stated in the Consolidated Appropriations Act 2024. This request for information is not a request for proposals or a notice of funding opportunity. Subsequent to this RFI ARPA-I intends to develop a Cooperative Agreement with a single institution of higher education if only one respondent is found to be eligible or to issue a subsequent Request for Proposals to the multiple eligible institutions of higher education identified. Respondents are required to meet the legislative requirements detailed in the Consolidated Appropriations Act 2024.
