SR 520 Bridge Program: Contracting and Job Information

What is WSDOT's contracting process?

Contractors hired by WSDOT complete construction projects and hire administrative and field staff to work on those projects.

The selected contractors will be responsible for securing vendors and sub-contractors, and assembling their workforce. WSDOT will work with contractors to ensure that notification is provided to all potential parties, and have added contact information to this list of interested parties.

Apprenticeship requirements

Design-build teams will comply with an apprentice utilization requirement. The goal is that 15 percent of project labor hours will be performed by apprentices. The apprenticeship program provides on-the-job training and supportive services to assist contractors with recruitment and placement of minorities and women, as well as to provide advocacy and support for individual apprentices/trainees participating in the program.

Commitment to Disadvantaged Business Enterprises

WSDOT strives to create equal access and make opportunities available for Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs) on public works and other transportation-related projects.

Individual DBE goals are established for each federally funded SR 520 project based on the opportunities available and funding sources. WSDOT is committed to ensuring DBE firms are afforded equal access and opportunities consistent with DBE programs.

There are multiple resources available for DBE firms. More information about these services is available on WSDOT’s Disadvantaged Minority/Women's Business Enterprise Program web page or WSDOT’s Opportunities for Small Businesses web page.
