About Alternative Bids

 

Because of the potential for significant changes in material prices during the life of the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), MnDOT will be using a process for alternative bids for pavements on selected projects. Listed on this page are guidelines to be used when considering if an alternative pavement process should be considered.
