How to win design work with the Maine DOT
Start with the Maine Department of Transportation site and check for current consultant opportunities, instructions, and contact information.
For federally funded architecture and engineering work, qualifications-based selection under the Brooks Act applies. Prepare clear examples of relevant work, staff qualifications, and project approach. Federal-aid contracts may also include DBE goals, so confirm the goal and applicable requirements for each opportunity. Check the portal and confirm the connection with Maine DOT before relying on it.
Owner checklist
- Visit the Maine DOT site to confirm where consultant design opportunities are posted.
- Confirm Maine DOT's submission instructions, required materials, and deadlines for each opportunity.
- Check whether a project is federally funded and review its qualifications-based selection requirements.
- Review each federal-aid opportunity for DBE goals, and confirm whether Maine Procurement Services applies to the selection.
