How to win design work with the Montana DOT
Start at MDT's consulting page and review the current RFQs and RFPs listed on the Design Consulting page. Follow each solicitation's instructions for submitting your firm's qualifications. For federally funded architecture and engineering work, selection is based on qualifications under the Brooks Act, rather than price competition.
Build relationships with firms that bring relevant experience and skills your team lacks. Check MDT's DBE page and identify ways to support participation by small businesses, including DBE firms. Federal-aid contracts have DBE goals. MDT's program focuses on businesses owned by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals. Review MDT's contracting page for prequalification information, and confirm any requirements and renewal cycle directly with MDT.
