The Prequalification Committee (PQC) regulates the eligibility of companies to perform INDOT work, including prequalification status. The PQC meets the first Thursday of every month at 9 am eastern. Meetings are currently conducted in person with a Microsoft Teams virtual component.
Companies wishing to provide any part of the services for an INDOT project must be prequalified as a consultant. Consultant prequalification is governed by the Consultant Prequalification Manual.
- IDOA Prequalification
INDOT prequalifies companies for public works projects that are related to the design, construction, and maintenance of the State of Indiana’s transportation infrastructure. This includes projects awarded by Ports of Indiana. The IDOA Certification Board prequalifies companies for all other state and local public works projects, such building construction.
Compliance with INDOT’s standard specifications is critical to maintaining a company’s prequalification status. In addition to quality and workmanship, a major component of this compliance relates to project management and cooperation with the Department. These requirements are outlined in Section 100 of the INDOT Standard Specifications and further elaborated in INDOT’s Partnering Handbook.
A Contractor Performance Evaluation is issued for every contract and subcontract with a value of at least $10,000. The CPE program and process are currently being updated. Please email Matt Sutton with any feedback or other input regarding the evaluation process.
