The Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) seeks proposals for Concrete Advancements Realized by Benefits of New Technologies (CARBON Tech). The administration aims to reduce carbon in infrastructure by integrating next-generation binder technologies. Offerors should provide solutions for market-ready, low-carbon binders, detailing specifications and performance benchmarks.
FHWA aspirations center on mitigating carbon emissions from infrastructure development, focusing on advancements in concrete materials. Proposers are invited to present innovative solutions, backed by full-scale structural testing, for critical structural design scenarios.
This solicitation underscores the government's commitment to sustainability and low-carbon infrastructure. Offerors are encouraged to submit detailed proposals, including empirical data, for evaluation against established standards. The FHWA anticipates awarding multiple contracts by June 2024.
Key deadlines include question submissions by April 23, 2024, white papers due May 17, 2024, and final proposals due TBD, all at 1:00 p.m. EST. With a funding amount of up to $25 million, contacts can be made with Jessica Prutz at jessica.prutz@dot.gov or Bob Brown at Bob.P.Brown@dot.gov for further clarification.
