WSDOT hires contractors to complete construction projects. The contractor is responsible for hiring administrative and field staff to work on those projects. The contractors also are responsible for securing vendors and subcontractors for the projects, and assembling their workforce. WSDOT works with the contractors to ensure that notification is provided to potentially interested parties.
WSDOT is hosting a virtual meeting for contractors on Thursday, March 4 regarding contracting opportunities with two design-bid-build projects: the SR 520/I-5 Express Lanes Connection Project and the AWV South Access Surface Street Connections Project. Please register online via Zoom to receive a link to join the 2 p.m. meeting. This meeting is open to interested contractors of all sizes, from large primes to smaller minority-, veteran-, and women-owned businesses.

Design-build and design-bid-build teams will comply with an apprentice utilization requirement. The standard 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.
