How to read these records

The record

To bid on state highway work a contractor must first be prequalified by the State Department of Transportation, which checks its finances, equipment and experience and lists the kinds of work it may bid on. Each State publishes its own list. This site brings the lists together: Illinois and Florida so far, with each contractor's work categories.

Status

On the agency's current prequalified contractor list. Two States so far. Illinois work categories are shown as IDOT's own codes. Phone numbers, e-mail addresses and bid addresses in the State files are not shown. A prequalification is not a contract.

What is not here

Individuals, and any name without a company word (Inc, LLC, Corp, Co…). Owner and contact names, phone numbers and mailing addresses, which this site never downloads.
