IDOT prequalifies architectural/engineering consultants in multiple transportation categories of service. Prequalification is based on the firm’s and the individual’s professional experience and qualification. Annual updates to statements of experience and financial condition must be completed to maintain prequalification status. The process is governed by state Statute (30 ILCS 535/1).

Updated every Friday, the lists below provides the firm’s name, address, DBE status, contact person, phone number, fax number and prequalified IDOT category or categories.
