NOTICE: 2022 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 submittals are no longer received. The website to visit to submit prequalifications is https://apps.transportation.ky.gov/professionalservices. Each firm must submit an updated Prequalification Application (TC 40-1 form) for review prior to the firm's annual renewal date. 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, an Employment Insurance policy, and a Financial Statement. The firm must also upload an annual affidavit of the Campaign Finance form, linked below. The firm must also comply with an Ethics Certification which is not a form and does not require a document upload.
