How to win design work with the New York DOT
Start with the New York State Department of Transportation site at https://www.dot.ny.gov/ and confirm where it posts consultant design opportunities, qualification requirements, and submission instructions. For federally funded architecture and engineering services, the Brooks Act requires qualifications-based selection. Lead with your team's relevant experience, technical approach, and capacity; do not treat price as the basis for initial selection.
For federal-aid contracts, check the solicitation for any DBE goal and the steps required to meet it. Confirm on the DOT site whether procurement information or notices are posted there, and follow the solicitation's stated process. Keep your firm's qualifications current and prepare concise examples of comparable transportation work.
