How to win design work with the South Dakota DOT
Start with the South Dakota DOT's prequalified contractors page. Confirm whether your firm must qualify for the design services you offer and what materials the DOT requires. Check the bid letting information page for current opportunities and instructions.
For federally funded architecture and engineering work, the Brooks Act requires qualifications-based selection. Prepare clear examples of relevant projects, staff experience, and availability. If a federal-aid contract has a DBE goal, plan how your firm will meet it or document its good-faith efforts under the applicable rules. Review the DOT's DBE page and confirm current requirements there. South Dakota State Procurement has a procurement page; confirm whether it applies to the DOT opportunity.
