Engineering Consultants

Thank you for your interest in providing professional services to the Department of Transportation. The Georgia Department of Transportation requires that all engineering consultants adhere to the guidelines set forth by the Department before being considered a prequalified consultant.

NOTE: The information on this page pertains only to applicants pursuing prequalification as a consultant under the preconstruction phases.

How to Apply

All applicants are required to submit one Prequalification application via e-mail to the Consultant Prequalification mailbox consultants_prequals@dot.ga.gov, along with a copy of the Employee Qualification Sheet for each area class being requested. Any application or Employee Qualification Sheet that does not have an authorized signature will not be processed.

Helpful Information

Notices
- Notice to all consultants: New prequalification application.
- Consultant Prequalification Manual (CPM): Review the outline of requirements for all area classes in the CPM.
Out-of-State Consultants
It is not necessary for a firm to have a physical office location in Georgia to become prequalified to do work for the State of Georgia. However, if a consultant is not a resident of Georgia, they must present a copy of an “Authorize to Conduct Business in Georgia” form, from the Georgia Secretary of State in lieu of a business license. This applies to New, Renewal, and Resubmittal or Additional applications.
Expired Prequalification Certifications
When the prequalification certification expires, a new application must be completed and submitted for review. In order to avoid delaying the certification process, we ask that a consultant start their renewal process ninety (90) days prior to the expiration date of the certificate. Please note that once the application is entered and reviewed by the Committee, it supersedes the current application, making the current application null and void.

After a consultant has received the certificate, they may apply for additional area class(es) for the entire certificate period up to ninety (90) days prior to the date of expiration. In the event an area class(es) is denied, the consultant may resubmit additional information for the specified area class(es) within thirty (30) days for another review.
