How to win design work with the North Carolina DOT
Start with the North Carolina Department of Transportation site and the North Carolina Purchase and Contract page. Confirm where NCDOT posts consultant opportunities, how firms submit qualifications, and which procurement instructions apply. Check each solicitation for scope, required materials, evaluation criteria, and submission instructions. Do not assume that a state procurement page covers every NCDOT consultant selection.
For federally funded architecture and engineering work, the Brooks Act requires qualifications-based selection. Build a clear record of relevant experience, staff qualifications, and project approach. Federal-aid contracts may also have DBE goals. Review each solicitation for its specific requirements and confirm any details not stated there on the DOT site. Keep your firm's qualifications current and respond directly to the work described.
Owner checklist
- Bookmark the North Carolina Department of Transportation site and check it for consultant procurement information.
- Review the North Carolina Purchase and Contract page, then confirm on the DOT site which process applies to NCDOT work.
- For federally funded A/E work, prepare qualifications for a Brooks Act selection process.
