How to win design work with the Kentucky DOT
Start with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet's Professional Services page. It links to Responding to Announcements and Search Procurement Bulletins, which are the listed sources for consultant procurement information. Review them for opportunities and instructions, then confirm current requirements on the DOT site. For federally funded architecture and engineering work, federal law requires qualifications-based selection. Lead with your firm's relevant experience, staff qualifications, and approach to the work.
Check the Cabinet's Civil Rights and Small Business Development page for DBE information. The DBE Program aims to prevent discrimination in DOT-assisted contract awards and administration and give DBEs a fair chance to compete. Federal-aid contracts may include DBE goals, so confirm each solicitation's requirements and plan how your team will meet them. Confirm both on the DOT site before pursuing a contract.
Owner checklist
- Check the Professional Services page for Responding to Announcements and Search Procurement Bulletins.
- Read each solicitation for its selection instructions and, for federal-aid work, prepare a qualifications-based proposal.
- Review the Civil Rights and Small Business Development page and confirm any DBE goals in the solicitation.
- Confirm prequalification requirements and any renewal cycle on the DOT site.
