Download MDOT Bid Letting Data

MDOT Bid Letting Analysis allows MERL customers to download MDOT bid letting data into their MERL database. These data can then be used to review high to low bids, standard deviation on bids, and average unit price analysis on MDOT bid projects. This tool functions similarly to the Bid Utility available in MERL for local jobs.

Currently, bid letting data from January 2013 – September 2014 is available for download. There is opportunity to check for updates after the data is first downloaded.
