How to Bid on a RIDOT Contract

The RIDOT bid submission process has changed in recent years. If you have not bid in a while or would simply like a refresher course, we have a power point presentation that goes through the basics of How to Bid on a RIDOT Contract. Check it out for questions about the basic bidding procedure.

RIDOT DBE Program Policy Statement

How to use Quest Lite

The RIDOT bidding process is handled by a program called Quest Lite. Knowledge of how to use this program is a prerequisite to placing a bid with the RIDOT. We have prepared a basic primer detailing How to use RIDOT's Quest Lite. This power point will cover the basics and also explains how contractors can sign up for classes that will give them a more in depth look at the software.

All questions about currently advertised projects are handled through a web based question and answer system. This system allows all questions on a bid to be made public to anyone who wishes to see them. Anyone can ask a question pertaining to bid after going through a simple registration process. A list of planholders for each advertised job is also made available.
