How to win design work with the District of Columbia DOT
Start with the District Department of Transportation site at ddot.dc.gov, and check it regularly for consultant opportunities and instructions. Confirm each on the DOT site before planning your outreach or submitting materials.
For federally funded architecture and engineering work, selection must be based on qualifications under the Brooks Act. Build a clear record of your team's relevant experience and qualifications. Federal-aid contracts may also have DBE goals. The DC Office of Contracting and Procurement site is ocp.dc.gov; confirm there whether it handles any procurement steps for DDOT consultants.
