How to win design work with the New Jersey DOT
Start with the New Jersey Department of Transportation website at nj.gov/transportation. Confirm how the department announces consultant design work, what it asks firms to submit, and how it handles questions. Check the New Jersey Division of Purchase and Property procurement site at nj.gov/treasury/purchase for state procurement information. Confirm on the DOT site which process applies to a specific opportunity.
For federally funded architecture and engineering work, the Brooks Act requires qualifications-based selection. Build a clear record of relevant projects, staff experience, and capacity, and follow the solicitation's instructions. Federal-aid contracts may also include DBE goals. Review the contract requirements and plan how your firm will meet them. Confirm the applicable selection process and DBE requirements in the opportunity documents and on the DOT site.
