DESCRIPTION

The Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT) Local Programs Division is conducting market research for a grant management software (GMS) solution. The envisioned system will provide an online portal for subrecipients to apply for federal and state grants, allow internal and external users to track project progress in controlled phases, and support the creation and tracking of projects both within and outside of a grant cycle. The system must handle various grant programs, including the Intersection Improvement Program, Local Bridge Program, and National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Program, among others. Key functional areas include general program administration, application solicitation and review, award management, post-award administration, and technical requirements such as data integration, security, and scalability.
