Bid Bond Verification

Due to the rebranding of SurePath to Tinubu Surety, you may receive an error when verifying your bid bond. This will only effect a few contracts being let between now and August 18, 2022 and only if you are using Surepath/Tinubu Surety.  If you do receive this error please call 518-457-2124. You can still submit the bid with this error.  

Welcome to the New York State

Department of Transportation Home Page!

NOTE: The Department's Civil Rights reporting software is EBO (the Equitable Business Opportunity Solution). To be in compliance with the contract requirements for NYS Civil Rights reporting,  it is recommended that all Bidders and subcontractors have an active EBO account.  Vendors/Sponsors can access an EBO application as well as Login & Password information using the following Link: https://www.dot.ny.gov/dotapp/ebo/instructions.

Additionally, effective January 1, 2020 for Federal Aid projects, bidders are required to submit DBE Commitments with their bids.

Postponed Contracts:

NYSDOT now has the ability to handle postponements with a Project Bids amendment file. This saves the contactor from having to manually enter data into the new .ebsx file. Contactors will simply need to download the amendment file.

Interested in Bidding Electronically in New York State?

• Create a Digital ID with Bid Express for the AASHTOWare Project Bids Bid component. (NYSDOT has upgraded from Expedite to AASHTOWare Project Bids effective with the January 19, 2017 Letting.)

• Submit a request to bid with the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT).

• Companies with an approved NYS Vendor Responsibility Questionnaire For-Profit Construction, CCA-2 form, already on file with NYSDOT can immediately proceed with the Digital ID process. (These firms are already in the NYSDOT Vendor Table.)

• To apply for a Digital ID without an approved NYS Vendor Responsibility Questionnaire For-Profit Construction, CCA-2 form ( www.nysdot.gov/bids-and-lettings/construction-contractors/general-info ) on file with NYSDOT must submit, on company letterhead, this form . After it is reviewed for completeness, and approved, a new Vendor table will be uploaded to Bid Express. You will then be notified to complete the Digital ID Process.

• All companies are required to be registered with the NYS Department of State ( www.dos.ny.gov/corps/buscorp.html#appauth ) before they can do business in New York State. This registration must be completed before the CCA-2 will be reviewed by NYSDOT.

• A CCA-2 must be approved by NYSDOT before a contract can be awarded to an Apparent Low Bidder.

• Electronic documents are posted at www.dot.ny.gov/doing-business/opportunities/const-notices .

• Electronic bid files are posted on Bid Express and at https://www.dot.ny.gov/bids-and-lettings/construction-contractors/electronic-bid-system/expedite-download-center .

• Submit a request to be placed on the Planholders List, at www.dot.ny.gov/doing-business/opportunities/const-planholder . Notifications of amendments and other change notices are sent by e-mail. Planholders Lists will normally be updated daily.

• For information or questions concerning contract documents, e-mail PlanSales@dot.ny.gov.

Withdrawal of Proposal

Contractors wanting to withdraw a bid(s) must:

• Be present at the public bid opening

• Have submitted the lowest proposal on a project for which bids have been announced

• Provide written request of intent to withdraw (NYSDOT provides forms)

When this option is exercised, the proposals for the other projects in the Letting will be returned to the Bidder unopened or, if the bid was submitted electronically, the Department will delete the bid(s) and the bid(s) will not be made public.
