How to win design work with the Minnesota DOT
Start with the Minnesota Department of Transportation website and the Minnesota Materials Management Division procurement portal. Confirm where MnDOT posts consultant opportunities and how firms submit statements of qualifications or proposals.
For federally funded architecture and engineering work, federal law requires qualifications-based selection. Emphasize your firm's relevant experience, staff, and approach; do not assume price is the basis for selection. Federal-aid contracts may also include DBE goals. Confirm whether a goal applies and what documentation is required for each opportunity on the DOT site.
Owner checklist
- Bookmark the Minnesota Department of Transportation website and check it for consultant procurement instructions.
- Use the Minnesota Materials Management Division portal and confirm whether a specific opportunity is posted there.
- For federally funded A/E work, prepare qualifications that show relevant experience, staff, and approach.
- Check the DOT site for any DBE goal and the requirements for documenting participation on a federal-aid contract.
