When is the Contractor's Qualification Statement and Experience Questionnaire (Statement) due at the KDOT?

What is the prequalification date?

The prequalification month is the month of the letter notifying the contractor of the amount of qualification and work classes approved.


How long is the prequalification effective?

It is effective one year from the month of the letter.


If the subsidiary or subsidiaries of a parent company seek to prequalify, how should the name(s) be shown?
