What kind of work it is
VDOT labels each proposal with a major work type. Here is what those categories usually involve, and how many proposals on this letting fall into each:
- Widening / reconstruction (1): added lanes or full rebuilding of a roadway, the largest scopes on most lettings, combining earthwork, base, paving, drainage, signals and structures. Proposals: B22 · 0017-099-665.
The work type is only a label. The bid item list and plans for each proposal show the real quantities. Subcontractors and suppliers should price from those, not from the category.
How to bid
- Primes and first-tier subs: VDOT requires prequalification to submit a bid and to perform work on VDOT-administered contracts; first-tier subcontractors need it too unless the contract says otherwise. Apply at least 60 days ahead. See our VDOT bidding guide.
- Advertisements: every order is posted on CABB with its let date, location, description and time limit, with links to its notices and plan-holder list.
- Submitting: VDOT takes electronic bids through Bid Express. Follow each advertisement's submission instructions.
- Subcontractors and suppliers: our county hubs list the firms in each county, for example York.
- Bonds: Commonwealth-funded transportation projects over $350,000 require performance and payment bonds in the full contract amount (Va. Code § 2.2-4337).
