How to win design work with the Tennessee DOT
Start with the Tennessee Department of Transportation site at tn.gov/tdot.html. Confirm how the department announces consultant design work, what qualifications it requests, and how firms should submit.
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, technical approach, and capacity. Federal-aid contracts may also have DBE goals; confirm the applicable goal and participation requirements in each solicitation. Tennessee's procurement portal is Tennessee Procurement. Confirm on that site whether it lists DOT consultant opportunities or provides relevant vendor instructions.
Owner checklist
- Visit the Tennessee DOT site and confirm where consultant design opportunities are posted.
- Check the DOT site for current qualification and submission instructions before responding.
- For federally funded A/E work, prepare qualifications for selection under the Brooks Act.
- Review each federal-aid solicitation for its DBE goal, and check Tennessee Procurement for relevant vendor instructions.
