One of the essential functions of the Highway and Transportation Commission and MoDOT is to provide a transportation network for the citizens of Missouri and those that travel through the state. One of the ways this is accomplished is by contracting with outside companies to provide improvements to the state's highway infrastructure.

In 1921 the authority to prepare plans and make estimates, let all contracts, provide uniform highway markings and purchase or lease land was prescribed by the governor through Centennial Road Law. At that time the system included approximately 6,000 miles of secondary roads and 1,500 miles of primary roads. Today MoDOT maintains more than 33,600 miles of roadway along with other modes of transportation. Contract bidding is essential in maintaining this vast system.

Doing Business with MoDOT Bidding and Contract Services:
Bidding on Highway Construction Projects
The Design Division is responsible for advertising, letting and awarding MoDOT’s highway construction and maintenance projects. See MoDOT’s Bid Opening Information website.
Prequalification of Bidders. To bid as a prime contractor, vendors must either have a Prequalification Contractor Questionnaire (in order to bid on projects of any size) or a Contractor Questionnaire (in order to bid on only projects under $2,000,000) approved and on file with MoDOT, along with the required documentation 7 days prior to the bid opening. Both forms can be found online.
Subcontracting. Prime contractors use subcontractors for numerous elements of an individual contract. On each contract, a prime contractor may propose to MoDOT the subcontractor(s) needed for an individual contract. Although MoDOT has no contractual relationship with subcontractors, MoDOT maintains a review and approval process for proposed subcontractor utilization. This process is included in EPG 108 Prosecution and Progress. MoDOT also maintains a listing of sub-contractors that are approved for use on Commission contracts as a convenience to the contracting community. To be included on this listing, a contractor is required to submit information for review.
Advertisement of Bid Opening. MoDOT publishes a 3-month tentative letting schedule (located under "Documents") on a monthly basis. The official advertisement for the current month is published 5 weeks prior to the bid opening date. A proposal specific advertisement can also be found in local newspapers. Supplemental advertisements may be posted up to 3 weeks prior to the bid opening. In addition, MoDOT may hold a special bid opening as needed. Preliminary Quantities are posted on MoDOT’s website for each letting.
MoDOT also publishes advertisements for federally funded local projects that are administered by cities and counties. Useful MoDOT Websites

If awarded a MoDOT contract, a vendor must be in compliance with the established laws to conduct business in the state of Missouri. You will be notified by an Award/Notice to Proceed letter upon approval by the MHTC and the issuance of contract agreement documents.
Bid Tabulations. After award by the MHTC, the individual unit bid prices for each proposal are posted on MoDOT’s website and the Bid Express website. Bid tabulations of rejected projects are not posted.
