How to bid

ALDOT prequalifies primes through its Bureau of Office Engineer; applications are due at least 14 days before a bid opening and renew yearly. Bids go in electronically through Bid Express with a Digital ID. Since Oct. 1, 2024, an LBGC license is required when the cost of the undertaking is $100,000 or more, for general contractors and subcontractors alike. Public works contracts of $50,000 or more carry a 100% performance bond and a payment bond of at least 50% (Ala. Code § 39-1-1). A claimant must give the surety written notice and wait 45 days before suing, and must sue within one year of final settlement.
