Q. Do I have to be prequalified to bid on Mortenson projects?

A. Most of our bid packages are available for all firms to bid without advance prequalification. Where advance prequalification is required for a specific bid package, we will advertise and/or contact potential bidders for prequalification information prior to issuing bid documents. Mortenson's prequalification process is free and is managed through TradeTapp. While prequalification is not a requirement to pursue Mortenson projects, it does need to be done prior to being awarded a contract with Mortenson.

 

Q. Will I have to provide a Payment and Performance Bond?

A. We often utilize Subcontractor Default Insurance in lieu of traditional trade partner bonding. To qualify, you must be registered with Mortenson through Textura. Payment and performance bonds may still be required in certain instances due to the size of the proposed trade partner or state law, i.e. Washington GC/CM work Learn more about Textura
