About Contractor Prequalification
Florida Law
(Chapter 337.14 F.S.) And Rules of the State of Florida, Department
of Transportation, (Chapter 14-22, F.A.C.) require contractors to be
prequalified with the Department in order to bid for the performance
of road, bridge, or public transportation construction contracts
greater than $250,000.00.
Prequalification is accomplished by using
an annual application process.
Applicants should read Chapter 337.14 F.S. and Rule 14-22 F.A.C. to review
for compliance prior to completing the application.
Information for
prequalification to bid contracts other than road,
bridge, or public transportation construction (such as professional
services or commodities) can be found at the Florida Department of
Transportation Procurement Office:
http://www.dot.state.fl.us/procurement/.
The annual Contractor Prequalification process
for construction contractors establishes the approved work classes
and maximum capacity rating (MCR) for each successful applicant.
A Certificate of Qualification is issued which lists the approved work classes and
provides instructions for online access to the
Maximum Capacity Rating in dollars.
