Construction Contractors

Anyone seeking to bid on and/or perform work on GDOT projects must be prequalified or registered with the Department.

New Vendor Codes

Effective immediately, the format for assigning vendor codes to contractors, counties, cities, individuals etc. who are applying for prequalification and/or registration with the GDOT has changed. The new numbers are automatically generated by the database and will consist of 5 numbers and no letters – e.g. 11666 and will be sequential.

Prequalification Process
When a contractor’s qualification is approved, a Certificate of Qualification will be issued and is generally valid for two (2) years. In addition, GDOT can grant up to a 90-day extension, if requested for the preparation of a new qualification certificate. All applications must be received not less than ten (10) days before the Let Date. A new application must be submitted for renewal of applications.

The Prequalification Unit will not notify contractors by mail or otherwise prior to the expiration date of their Certificate of Qualification nor will it notify Contractors by mail or otherwise of the need to renew their Certificate of Qualification.

NOTE: Contractors must renew their certificates every two years, or earlier. Failure to renew before the current certificate expires will place the contractor in an expired status and, therefore, ineligible to bid.
