NOTICE:  2024 Prequalification Criteria and Instructions Update​

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has posted revisions to the Prequalification Criteria and Instructions document, which serves as the basis for determining minimum eligibility of firms within each service category. Each firm that desires to retain prequalifications or become prequalified with the Cabinet in any new service area must submit a full prequalification application prior to response to advertisement. These prequalifications are to be submitted electronically via the Consultant Portal by clicking the Consultant Management widget. Hard copy prequalification submittals are no longer permitted. The website to visit to submit prequalifications is https://apps.transportation.ky.gov/professionalservices.

Each firm that desires to retain prequalifications must submit a full prequalification application in the Portal prior to the firm's annual renewal date. Although the Portal will send an automatic notification as a courtesy, it is the sole responsibility of the firm to initiate a renewal of its prequalification with the Cabinet. The request should include a Certification of Professional Liability Insurance, a Certificate of Workers Compensation, and an Employment Insurance policy. The firm must also upload to the Portal an annual affidavit of the Campaign Finance form, linked below. The firm must also comply with an Ethics Certification directly in the Portal which is not a form and does not require a document upload. These credentials shall be uploaded for review by Professional Services staff and retained for compliance. The firm may be removed from the Cabinet's listing of prequalified consultants if an application is not received within thirty (30) days of its annual renewal date.

Please review the various links below for further details and reference:

The Division of Professional Services anticipates this document will remain until December 2025 when the next updates become available prior to the 2026 full renewal cycle. Please contact Ashley Caldwell via email with any prequalification submittal process inquiries at Ashley.Caldwell@ky.gov.

​Note: These reference documents will also permanently be available under the Prequalification tab at the top of this website.
