CONSULTANT QUALIFICATION:

The Department no longer requires Consulting Firms to register through the Oklahoma

Department of Central Services Construction and Properties Division as a condition of contract

eligibility. The Department now accepts the CAP 255 (attached) as consideration for

qualification of engineering firms to perform professional services for the Oklahoma Department

of Transportation. The CAP 255 form should be included with the Letter Of Interest Response

Packet submitted for each solicitation. Qualification will be determined specific to each contract.

An electronic CAP 255 form is attached for your convenience. NOTE: Consultant Firms

performing professional services for the State of Oklahoma (NON-ODOT) must continue

to register with the Oklahoma Department of Central Services.

DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISES (DBE):

Please be advised that Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) participation in the

Department's Professional Services Contracts is always encouraged and supported. You can

view the current Directory of Certified DBE Firms on the Department's website at:

http://www.okladot.state.ok.us/regserv/dbeinfo/dcf.htm

Please be aware that the Department is currently exploring more formal opportunities to expand

our DBE partnership and engineering contract participation. We will be coordinating with the

Consultant Community in the near future to facilitate further and more specific discussion

related to this important topic.

ELECTRONIC SOLICITATION:

The intent of this email is to provide all possible advance notification in order for you to begin

your response preparations. This email is being forwarded to all Consultants who have properly

responded to the Department's previous requests for a useable email address. We will continue

to make every attempt to provide this electronic version to everyone possible as fast as

possible. This solicitation will no longer be provided by mail; however, if you have difficulty with

the electronic file and/or the Consultant Information Web Page, please advise and we can

arrange to have it FAXED to you. NOTE:

ONLY

if there have been changes to the current

information ODOT has on file for your Firm will you need to complete the attached

version of the Consultant Information Form and submit it to the Project Management

Division.

WEBPAGE:

The Department continues the development of our internet capabilities as related to improving

our Consultant Solicitation, communication and information systems. The link shown below will
