Pre-qualification of Bidders

In accordance with the North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, Section 102, a bidder must be pre-qualified by the Department in order to be eligible to submit bids.

In addition, contractors need to meet the requirements of other agencies for conducting business in North Dakota. Information for conducting business in North Dakota can be obtained by visiting ND.Gov Business.

Bidder pre-qualification is required annually by the NDDOT. Pre-qualified contractors who wish to renew their pre‑qualification must submit a complete "Contractor's Pre-qualification Statement" by July 1 of each calendar year.

CONTRACTOR’S PREQUALIFICATION STATEMENTS expire on June 30 each year. To renew, contractors can submit renewals online electronically or manually.
Do not submit by both methods.

Option 1: To submit your prequalification statement online electronically, go to the Department’s website at https://dotnd.diversitycompliance.com and complete the prequalification statement.
Option 2: To submit your prequalification statement manually, you can download form SFN 9384 (Rev. 5-2018) from our website at http://www.dot.nd.gov/forms/sfn09384.pdf and submit to the NDDOT Construction Services Division. Always use the current forms on our website.
