Contractors must be prequalified with KDOT and provide notice of intent to bid by 5:00 p.m. on the Monday preceding the letting date.

Several line items carry set prices: flagger services at $30.00 per hour, water for grading and erosion control at $40.00 per megallons, and sediment removal with temporary berm installation.
