Is this a realistic fit?

• Past Highway Planning and Construction awards averaged $1.5 million; this notice allows up to $160 million per award.
• Most of the program's money (99% over five years) went to state and local governments.
• The notice requires cost sharing or matching funds, so you must contribute part of the project cost.
