If you are a firm who uses the PDCSystem and you wish to continue using it, all updates to existing information must be put on a hard copy of the print out of your questionnaire (the copy that TxDOT sent to your firm). If this is unavailable, a new one can be requested. Mark up any changes to the questionnaire (preferably in red) and re-submit.

Otherwise, you may use the CCIS Online System. You may update records at any time.
 

If the employee was precertified in another firm, e-mail or fax a letter to our Consultant Contract Office at (512) 416-2292. In this case the employee can simply be transferred.

If the employee is new and has never been precertified with TxDOT, a precertification questionnaire for that employee must be submitted.

If your firm uses the PDCSystem and you wish to continue using it you will need to submit a precertification questionnaire for this new employee. An established firm only needs to fill in the firm name and tax I.D. number on this questionnaire. Then skip over to the "Personnel" section and fill out "Employee General Information", "Certifications", and "Experience by Categories and Projects". Any employee who wants to be precertified in a category MUST fill out these four parts of the questionnaire.

Otherwise, you may use the CCIS Online System.
 

Precertification is determined by the information submitted in the "Personnel Information and Experience" section, specifically the "Projects" subsection. It is based on the minimum requirements for the categories as stated in Attachment B. Attachment B is a list of all work categories and all of the minimum requirements for those categories.

TxDOT precertifies an individual in a firm and then the firm is automatically precertified in the categories that its employees are precertified in.

Any employee who wants to be precertified in a category must demonstrate that he/she meets the minimum requirements for that category by describing past work experience in the "Projects" subsection of the "Personnel Information and Experience" section of the Precertification Questionnaire.
 

Records can be transferred from one firm to another, but TxDOT does not allow joint ventures. In other words, TxDOT does not allow an individual to be employed by two firms (or on two payrolls) simultaneously when working under a contract. To transfer records, contact our Consultant Contract Office by e-mail or fax at (512) 416-2292.
 

Notices for Letters of Interest or Notices of Intent (NOIs) are posted on the TxDOT Internet site and on the Electronic State Business Daily (ESBD – formerly the Texas Marketplace). Click here for a current list of Notices of Intent.

All contracts are negotiated through the Districts and Divisions. Each Notice of Intent lists an agency contact person for that specific project.
 

If you are a firm that uses the PDCSystem and you wish to continue using it, simply update your Precertification Questionnaire by marking up a hard copy (preferably in red) of the print out of your questionnaire that the Consultant Contract Office sent back to you after your initial application. Enter the information in Section 2, and either incorporate additional project information to the existing projects or add another project(s) to demonstrate that you meet the requirement for the category(s).

Otherwise, you may use the CCIS Online System. You can re-apply at any time. Once you re-apply, TxDOT has sixty (60) days to review your application.
