Contractor Prequalification

The "Notice to Contractors" for each project will state the prequalification requirements for that project.  Bids will be received from any contractor; however, the contract will only be awarded to contractors passing the qualification requirements.  Apparent low bidders not prequalified at the time of bid opening can expect a two to three week delay in the award process while their application is processed.  They also run the risk of not meeting MaineDOT's prequalification standards.
