How to win design work with the Colorado DOT
If your firm wants to provide engineer design services, complete CDOT's prequalification application in its Business Management System, B2G. Start at CDOT's bidding page, then confirm current application steps and any renewal requirements on the DOT site. CDOT says to register on BidNet Direct to view and respond to its Procurement and Property Management solicitations, so check BidNet regularly and keep your firm's registration current.
For federally funded architecture and engineering work, expect qualifications-based selection under the Brooks Act. Prepare clear examples of relevant projects, staff qualifications, and capacity. Federal-aid contracts may also include DBE goals. Review CDOT's DBE information and consider how your team can meet any contract-specific requirements. Check each solicitation for its selection process and participation requirements.
