Sole Source/Proprietary Item Procedure

Occasionally, a local agency needs to request a specific, proprietary, or sole source product for use on a federally funded construction project to maintain function, aesthetics, or logistics of a facility.

Local Agency Programs (LAP) has revised the procedure for reviewing and approving such requests.  The new procedure can be found on the LAP website at:

The above document includes a link to MDOT Form #0304, which is required.

Please note that the document also outlines the process for experimental use of proprietary materials, specifications, or processes.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Ryan Doyle at DoyleR3@Michigan.gov or Bruce Kadzban at KadzbanB@Michigan.gov.
