THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The MPO is submitting a SMART SCALE Round 7 application for $28.4 million to redesign Cummings Street near I-81 Exit 17 with medians, multiple new turn lanes, a short new Green Spring Road segment, sidewalk, and ramp modifications. The project is not yet funded and is only at concept sketch level, with Board support but no final design or contractor. Designers, traffic engineers, and construction firms should monitor the grant outcome and engage Abingdon and MPO staff on refining scope, cost, and eventual PE and construction delivery.
Project (ID 13834) is consistent with the Multimodal Transportation Plan and LRTP goals; description may see minor tweaks before final submittal, but Board support is locked in via the resolution.

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 Bristol MPO issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Bristol 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 Bristol 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.
Where can I find more transportation government opportunities in Tennessee?
Civic IQ monitors board meetings, agendas, budgets, and capital plans from 100,000+ state and local agencies and surfaces transportation pre-RFPs in Tennessee as soon as they appear — months before they reach bid portals.
