About this opportunity
The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) is seeking applicants for a Congressionally Directed Funding opportunity under the Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements (CRISI) program to support the construction of a railroad track infrastructure project in Kansas. The grant will fund approximately 4 miles of railroad track connecting to the BNSF mainline, including a 1.5-mile circular loop track for grain unit train load out and manifest shipping tracks for transloading bulk materials. Eligible applicants include state governments, public agencies, railroads, and other transportation entities, with the FRA giving preference to projects where the federal share is 50% or less and involves multiple funding sources. Key application requirements include a project narrative, statement of work, benefit-cost analysis, environmental compliance documentation, and various standard federal forms. The application package is due by July 29, 2025, with the FRA evaluating proposals based on project benefits, potential private sector participation, recipient past performance, and alignment with departmental priorities.
The project will be located in Kansas and involves constructing transportation infrastructure to enhance rail system efficiency and safety. While specific award amounts are not explicitly stated, the CRISI program typically funds projects ranging from several hundred thousand to over $200 million. The performance period for such projects generally spans two to five years, with the FRA requiring recipients to comply with federal regulations, maintain detailed documentation, and adhere to requirements such as Buy America provisions and civil rights laws. Recipients must retain project-related documentation for three years after grant completion and ensure comprehensive reporting and record-keeping in accordance with federal guidelines.
