Announcement to firms

Precertification definition and authority

A firm must be precertified prior to being awarded a professional services contract with TxDOT. Firms must apply for precertification. The precertification process is outlined in the Texas Administrative Code (TAC).

Eligibility

TxDOT precertifies individuals based on qualifications and prior work experience. An employee demonstrates qualifications by providing information such as licensure, certifications, training, and education. An employee demonstrates experience by describing the work done on past projects. Precertification is granted or denied based on this information. Precertification extends to the individual's firm.
