About this file
This is an application template for the FY 2025 and FY 2026 Advanced Digital Construction Management Systems (ADCMS) Competitive Grant Program administered by the Federal Highway Administration. The template is a required component of complete applications and must be submitted alongside allowable attachments and standard federal forms. Eligible applicants are State Departments of Transportation, which may submit joint applications with other State DOTs, local governments, Tribes, and private industry, with one State DOT serving as the lead entity and grant recipient. Applications must demonstrate a minimum 20 percent non-Federal cost share of total project costs; applications lacking this threshold will be classified as ineligible.
The application template is organized into six sections with specific page limits: Summary (two pages maximum) requiring project name, eligible entity, project scale, total project cost, funding request, and project abstract; Project Information (three pages maximum) requiring location details, project coordinates, identification of public or private parties, and project background; Budget and Funding (six pages maximum) requiring itemized program request amounts, other Federal funding sources, cost estimates, Statement of Work, and detailed budget breakdown; Merit Criteria (six pages maximum) addressing innovation and technology adoption, safety and core infrastructure, economic competitiveness, and reinvestment in the American family; Project Readiness (three pages maximum) addressing technical, financial, and permitting risk assessments; and DOT Priority Considerations (three pages maximum) addressing rural community expansion or innovative technology pilots. The program aims to promote implementation and deployment of new construction technology at the program level through demonstration and documentation.
