How to win design work with the Hawaii DOT
Start with the Hawaii DOT construction administration page. Confirm current requirements on the DOT site before preparing a submittal. Check the Hawaii State Procurement Office site as well for state procurement information; the verified facts do not identify where consultant solicitations are posted.
For federally funded architecture and engineering work, expect qualifications-based selection under the Brooks Act. Build a clear record of your team's relevant experience, technical approach, and capacity. On federal-aid contracts, review the DBE information and any contract-specific goals. The DOT's DBE program seeks equal opportunity for disadvantaged firms on transportation contracts and subcontracts. Confirm the applicable requirements for each opportunity on the DOT site.
