How to win design work with the Virginia DOT
Start with VDOT's consultant page for design opportunities and selection information. 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, staff qualifications, and project approach so you can present your qualifications when VDOT seeks them.
Check VDOT's DBE program page for program information. Federal-aid contracts may include DBE goals, so review each solicitation and confirm how any goal applies. Confirm solicitation locations and any requirements on the VDOT site before pursuing an opportunity.
Owner checklist
- Review VDOT's consultants page for selection information and design opportunities.
- Confirm on the VDOT site where consultant solicitations are posted.
- Review VDOT's DBE program page and check each federal-aid solicitation for applicable DBE goals.
- Use the Virginia Department of General Services Procurement page as a state procurement resource; confirm on the VDOT site whether it applies to a specific design opportunity.
