How to win design work with the Mississippi DOT
Start at the Mississippi Department of Transportation site, then check its notices and instructions for each opportunity. For federally funded architecture and engineering work, the Brooks Act requires qualifications-based selection. Prepare a clear statement of qualifications that shows relevant project experience, staff credentials, and capacity. Follow the solicitation's instructions and confirm any Mississippi DOT-specific requirements on the DOT site.
For federal-aid contracts, check the solicitation for DBE goals and plan how your team will meet them. Mississippi state procurement information is available through the Mississippi DFA Procurement and Contracts portal. Confirm any consultant-specific state procedures there, and check the DOT site for project details. Do not assume the state portal replaces the DOT's instructions for a DOT project.
