Prime Contractor Prequalification Questionnaire

Prequalification Questionnaire.pdf (357Kb)

The S.C. Code Section R63-300 requires prime contractors to obtain a Prime Contractor's Prequalification Certificate from the Department before bidding on SCDOT construction projects. Contractors must renew their prequalification certificate annually. Failure to renew before the current certificate expires will place the contractor in an inactive status, and therefore, ineligible for bidding.

For first time or inactive applicants, the Department must receive the questionnaire at least seven (7) days in advance of the letting in which they wish to participate. To remain in an active status, the questionnaire for renewals must be received before the current prequalification certificate expires.

The SCDOT Prime Contractor Prequalification Questionnaire may be accessed by clicking on the link below. The questionnaire may be filled-out on-line or downloaded and filled-out, but then it must be printed and the Affidavit sheet signed and notarized. If required, add attachments and mail to:

Director of Construction, Room 330
SCDOT
955 Park Street
Columbia, SC 29201
