CDOT Small Business Certifications
Certification in these programs is essentially a tool to help you get your foot in the door. They do not guarantee you will get a contract with CDOT but they do provide a competitive advantage. They also come with support services that provide resources to assist both contractors and consultants with business preparation, marketing, bidding and performing work as a prime or subcontractor.
