Competitive bidding threshold

Public works are competitively bid, with each public body setting its own dollar limit. Wyoming gives certified resident contractors a 5% bid preference, and a successful resident bidder must perform at least 75% of the contract within Wyoming.1

Award standard

Contracts go to the lowest responsible bidder, after applying the resident preference.

Multiple-prime contracts

Wyoming has no statewide multiple-prime mandate. Unlike New York's Wicks Law or Pennsylvania's Separations Act, a single general contract is permitted.

Prevailing wage

Public works are subject to the Wyoming Prevailing Wage Act (Wyo. Stat. Title 27, Chapter 4).2

Document distribution & addenda

Wyoming DOT notifies contractors by email through QuestCDN whenever it issues an addendum, and all bidders using the electronic bidding system must acknowledge every addendum.3

Record of change

Wyoming pairs a 5% resident-contractor bid preference — with a 75% in-state performance requirement — with a state Prevailing Wage Act (Title 27-4).
