The Problem

Good bids get rejected for small mistakes.

You can be the lowest bidder and still lose the contract. A missing form, a wrong signature, an incomplete DBE commitment — any of these can get your bid thrown out. WSDOT has strict rules, and they follow them exactly.

There are no second chances after the deadline. Once your bid is submitted, it cannot be changed. If something is wrong, you are disqualified — no matter how competitive your price was.
What We Check

Everything WSDOT checks — before they do.

We go through your full bid package the same way WSDOT's contract team does. Here's what we look at:

✓

DBE Compliance

Forms complete, subs certified, goal met or good faith effort documented properly.

✓

Forms & Signatures

Right version, signed in the right places, by the right people.

✓

Bid Bond

Correct amount, proper format, no errors in required details.

✓

Addendum Acknowledgment

Every addendum issued on the project confirmed and acknowledged.

✓

Subcontractor Listing

Required subs listed correctly per WSDOT rules.

✓

Non-Collusion & Certifications

Required certifications present and properly executed.

✓

Insurance & Licensing

Coverage meets project requirements and documentation is included.

✓

Responsiveness Check

Full review for anything that could get your bid rejected as non-responsive.
