How to win design work with the Connecticut DOT
Start with CTDOT's consultant resources page. It links to the prequalified consultant database, and the Consultant Selection Office manages prequalification and consultant selection for CTDOT bureaus. Confirm the current prequalification requirements on that page before pursuing work.
Check CTDOT's Office of Opportunity and Business Development for open and upcoming opportunities. For CT Source Bid Board listings, search "CTDOT." For federally funded A/E work, selection is based on qualifications under the Brooks Act. Review each federal-aid solicitation for its DBE goals; the DBE Program helps eligible firms compete for those contracts. Confirm any details not stated here on the CTDOT site.
