Florida Law (Chapter 337.14 F.S.) And Rules of the State of Florida, Department of Transportation, Chapter 14-22, 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 application process. Applicants should read 337.14 F.S. and Rule 14-22 F.A.C. to review for compliance prior to completing the application. The Contractor Prequalification process results in the issuance of a Certificate of Qualification for each successful applicant which lists the approved work classes and the Maximum Capacity Rating in dollars.

All vendors wishing to do business with any State agency must register at the following web site: My Florida Market Place. The vendor number assigned to the firm as a result of this registration should be provided at time of Application submittal.

Prequalification is not required for the following:

1. To bid as a prime contractor on projects of $250,000 or less

2. To bid as a subcontractor in any amount

3. To bid on buildings (A general contractor's license is required for this type of project)

4. To bid on maintenance contracts
