        Business Development Initiative​ (BDI)


The Business Development Initiative (BDI) is designed to support FDOT's efforts to boost competition, lower prices, and increase support to meet its contracting needs over the next 10 years.  The BDI is designed to provide more opportunities and support for small businesses to move from subcontracting and sub consulting to prime contracting and consulting roles. Some of the strategies used to provide an opportunity for businesses who would not typically bid on FDOT contracts are: 

  • Reserving construction and maintenance contracts for small businesses. 
  • Waiving performance bond requirements and modifying bid bond requirements for contracts under $250,000.  
  • Using the modified qualification process instead of our standard prequalification process for construction and maintenance projects.

In March 2009, FDOT received approval from Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to use the BDI on federally funded projects, being the first of its kind, nationally, to be considered. In 2013, FDOT increased the BDI goals to 10% of all work types for contracts reserved for small business competition. To find out more about the BDI, click here.
