Many government entities, such as PennDOT, utilize some method and manner for the processing and evaluation of the capacity and qualifications of contractors and subcontractors to perform on publicly funded projects. This process is usually required prior to bid and is commonly referred to as a “Prequalification” process. ProRank can help firms organize and deliver the information requested as “proof of competence and responsibility” to help firms achieve a “Qualified” status. ProRank can also aid firms in requesting conditional and/or provisional prequalification status if their company has not yet established a performance track record and the respective agency recognizes this process.

In order to perform work on a certain DOT highway and/or bridge bid projects, a potential contractor or sub-contractor must be prequalified under certain DOT regulations. We can assist you with this process.

PennDOT can conditionally assign a work classification code to a prequalified contractor based on a  superintendent’s prior work experience as a superintendent for another prequalified contractor. This work classification code must be assigned to the superintendent’s former employer for his prior work experience to be considered for conditional prequalification for his current employer. Conditional prequalification approval is not project-specific.
