Professional Technical Consultant Services Updates
***New - 01/16/2013***
MnDOT Process Change - Final P/T Evaluation Process
In an effort to streamline internal processes, MnDOT has eliminated the need to complete the Professional/Technical (PT) Performance Evaluation Form for the following P/T Contract types:
- All P/T Contracts $25,000 and under
- All Interagency Agreements
This change will align MnDOT's process with the reporting requirements under Minnesota State Statute. Please note, an evaluation may still be completed, at the discretion of MnDOT's Project Manager or Authorized Representative, for any reason, including substandard performance on Contracts of any value.
Upcoming SWIFT Changes (01/03/2013)
The Department of Administration recently sent out a notice to vendors regarding the advertisement of Requests for Proposals (RFP's) in SWIFT. Each Agency may be affected differently by this implementation. Please refer to the links below to understand how MnDOT projects will be affected:

As of January 1, 2013, the standard IRS mileage rate for business use of a personal vehicle will be 56.5 cents per mile.
Pre-Qualification Program Renewal Information
The Pre-Qualification Program renewals are underway. Any Work Types that are due for renewal are requested directly from each Consulting Firm for a given work type.
A representative at each firm will receive an e-mail notice requesting renewal information. Note that the renewals require full submittals, including required examples. Carefully read the submittal requirements in the Work Type Definition, and follow the blue hyperlinks to the forms that are needed.
Firms should not send any renewal information for work types unless requested to do so.
New submittals (for any work type that your firm is currently not listed under) and key personnel updates for all work types are still encouraged and accepted.
