<p class="MsoNormal">Maine Department of Transportation’s Municipal Stream Crossing Program 2023 Request for Application (RFA) Overview of the Grant Opportunity The Maine Department of Transportation (MaineDOT) is seeking applications for the Municipal Stream
Crossing Program to provide competitive grants that help fund the upgrade of municipal culverts at stream crossings with the goal of improving fish and wildlife habitat and community safety. This Request for Application (RFA) document provides instructions
for submitting applications, evaluation criteria, and contract provisions. Eligible project sponsors include local and tribal governments, municipal conservation commissions, soil and water conservation districts, and private nonprofit organizations. Eligible
projects involve culverts that carry a stream under a local government road, not a state (including state-aid) or private road. Applicants may request up to $200,000 for projects that include design and construction (as long as they result in a completed construction
project) and must include a minimum of $5,000 of local match (cash or in-kind).<o:p></o:p></p>
