Contractor Prequalification

A prequalified bidder is a contractor who has received a certificate of prequalification from the Department of Public Works and Transportation (DPWT).

Public Works Current Solicitations

Public Works Current Solicitations advertises the contract for proposed work. It identifies the required prequalification categories, cost group, bid proposal document inspection, and the date, time and place of solicitation opening.

  1. All types of pipe are grouped under the pipe category
  2. The waterline and appurtenances section has been added specifically for waterline construction
  3. Portland Cement Concrete suppliers and bituminous concrete suppliers must maintain an approved mix design with DCCA
