Funding and RFPs

MARC facilitates funding and bid opportunities through calls for projects, grants and requests for proposals.

Grant and funding opportunities

As the region’s Metropolitan Planning Organization, MARC is responsible for delegating funds and grants for select state and federal government programs.

Grant and funding opportunities are available through many of our focus areas, including transportation, solid waste management and water quality. Project proposals typically are submitted through in-house online application systems.

Requests for Proposals

MARC programs issue requests for proposals for bid and contract opportunities exceeding $50,000. RFP responses should be submitted electronically using the instructions provided in the RFP document. MARC RFPs are also posted on DemandStar.

It is the responsibility of the submittor to ensure that the proposal has been received by the appropriate MARC staff, and not blocked by a spam filter or rejected due to file size. To confirm receipt, you may contact us at 816-474-4240, or contact the staff member named in the RFP.
