How to win design work with the Rhode Island DOT
Start with the Rhode Island DOT contractor and consultant page. Confirm its current prequalification requirements and how to apply before pursuing a project. For federally funded architecture and engineering work, federal law requires qualifications-based selection under the Brooks Act. Build a clear record of your team's relevant experience and qualifications.
Check the Rhode Island Division of Purchases portal and the DOT bidding page for procurement information and solicitations. For federal-aid contracts, review any DBE goals and plan how your firm will meet them.
