How to win design work with the Arkansas DOT
Start with the Arkansas Department of Transportation site at ardot.gov. Confirm where it posts consultant opportunities, how firms qualify, and what each submission must include.
For federally funded architecture and engineering work, selection is qualifications-based under the Brooks Act. Build a clear record of relevant projects, staff experience, and capacity, and follow the solicitation's instructions. Federal-aid contracts may also set DBE goals. Confirm the applicable goal and documentation in each solicitation. The Arkansas Office of State Procurement has a procurement page at sas.arkansas.gov/procurement; confirm on the DOT site whether or how it applies to DOT consultant work.
Owner checklist

- Confirm the firm qualification and registration requirements on the DOT site.
- For federally funded A/E work, prepare qualifications information and follow the solicitation.
- Check each federal-aid solicitation for DBE goals, and confirm on the DOT site how the state procurement portal relates to DOT work.
