Do I need to be prequalified? Am I a Sub Contractor or a Prime Contractor?
Prime Contractor: The contractor that is awarded a contract
by the FDOT and is responsible for ensuring the work is completed on
time and is in compliance with all aspects of the contract. If
a Prime Contractor is interested in bidding on construction jobs over $250,000, then prequalification
per Rule Chapter 14-22 F.A.C. is required.
Sub Contractor: The contractor(s) hired by the
Prime Contractor for the purpose of completing specific parts
of the contract. A Sub Contractor does not bid directly
to the FDOT and does not need to be prequalified. |
| 2. |
What if I'm a Prime Contractor who wants to bid on a job that's less
than $250,000?
You do not need to be prequalified if your bid will be less than
$250,000. |
| 3. |
I want to bid as a Prime Contractor but I am not prequalified and the estimated amount
is more
than $250,000, but my bid will be less than $250,000, can I bid?
For any project that requires prequalification
a Prime Contractor would need to be prequalified in order to bid.
This applies to Construction and Design-Build projects. |

Our company has never
applied for prequalification, can we apply anytime during the

All applications
must be submitted with audited financial statements that reflect
the financial position of the applicant no more than 4 months
from the fiscal year end of the company. For example, if your company
has a December 31st year end, you will need to apply
by April 30th. If you miss this deadline, you will
need interim audited financial statements. This applies to
companies applying the first time as well as those submitting
annual applications.
