How to bid public work in Orange County

State highway and bridge work in Orange County is let by FDOT. Larger contracts go through the Central Office letting in Tallahassee; smaller and maintenance contracts are let by District Five (Central Florida) (district letting information). Primes on FDOT road and bridge contracts over $250,000 must be prequalified, and subcontractors don't need FDOT prequalification. See how to bid FDOT contracts.

State agency, university and water management district solicitations are advertised in the MyFloridaMarketPlace Vendor Bid System (see the MFMP registration guide). County, city and school district projects are advertised on each government's own procurement portal. Before you bid, check your license class (licensing guide) and your payment protections (lien and bond basics).

• Florida's new 45-day pay rule for contractors: what SB 290 requires, what it doesn't, and how subs can use it
