Did you know? Certified Targeted Group Businesses (TGB) and Veteran-owned small businesses may receive a preference of up to 12% of the amount of bid when bidding as a prime contractor on MnDOT construction contracts. The preference amount is not to exceed $240,000.

MnDOT applies these preferences when evaluating proposals to determine the low bidder. The contract value is in the full bid amount.
