Qualification Information

  1. Levels of Qualification

    There are two levels of Qualification according to Rule 14-75, Florida Administrative Code:
    • Unlimited - This level of qualification allows consultants to compete for any projects for which they are technically qualified with the Department. Continued qualification at this level requires annual submittal of a qualification application along with proof of insurance, an overhead audit prepared by an independent CPA, a signed Contractor Cost Certification, and the completed AASHTO Internal Control Questionnaire (ICQ).
    • Minor Projects Only - This level of qualification allows consultants to compete for minor projects with fees estimated at or below $250,000. Contract advertisements identify whether a contract is a minor project or a major project. Continued qualification at the minor project level requires annual submittal of a qualification form along with proof of insurance. A self-certified overhead report and statement describing the firm's accounting system is recommended, but not required.

  2. Standard Work Types

    All consultants competing for contracts in the standard types of work must qualify with the Department in the applicable work types.  Qualification is not required for professional services contracts outside of the standard work types. Sub-consultants performing services in any of the standard types of work must also be qualified with the Department.
