How to win design work with the Washington DOT
Start by reviewing WSDOT's public works contracting page. It covers prequalification types, applications and forms, prequalified contractors, and related laws and rules. Identify the prequalification that fits your firm's work, then confirm current requirements and application steps on the WSDOT site before pursuing a contract.
Search contracting opportunities for engineering work on design and construction projects, including transportation studies, and filter by Consultant Services. For federally funded A/E work, selection must follow qualifications-based procedures under the Brooks Act. If an opportunity has federal aid, check its DBE goals and confirm the contract requirements in the solicitation.
