As a part of their ongoing efforts to improve contracting and project delivery efficiencies, MDOT will implement three e-business pilot initiatives in the September lettings.
Item 002, September 7th Letting – Latson Road Interchange
Two “electronic” initiatives will be piloted on this project:
1. Design Deliverable Enhancement Project (DDEP) will significantly change the format of the plan-set and provide electronic deliverables (“dgn” files) not typically provided on MDOT projects.
2. Electronic Document Management System will require the awarded contractor submit contract documents via an “electronic file cabinet” application using MDOT’s ProjectWise.
A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled to discuss these two initiatives.

September 14th Letting – Electronic Contracting – Phase 1
On a select number of projects in the September 14th letting MDOT will pilot a new Contact Documents feature in Bid Express. For these pilot projects MDOT will be providing the contract documents electronically to the confirmed low bidder via Bid Express. There is no additional fee from Bid Express for this new feature.
