PUBLIC NOTICE OF INTENT TO ADOPT RULES AND REGULATIONS

The Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) hereby gives public notice of intent, in accordance W.S. 16-3-103, to revise the following rules and regulations from WYDOT’s General Section:

• Chapter 1, Procedures for Public Notice of Call for Bids
• Chapter 6, Bidder Prequalification Procedures for Transportation Projects
• Chapter 8, Award and Execution of Contract
• Chapter 10, Procedures for Submitting Bids
• Chapter 33, Off-road Recreational Vehicles, Interstate Rights of Way and Crossings

Chapters 1, 6, 8, and 10, which administer project bidding and contract award, have been revised to accommodate WYDOT’s electronic bidding system, remove obsolete terminology, and make other changes including adjusting contract award timelines to match the provisions of WYDOT’s Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction. 

Chapter 33, Off-road Recreational Vehicles, Interstate Rights of Way and Crossings,  is a new rule required by W.S. 31-5-1601 to administer requirements for the operation and permitting of off-road recreational vehicles (ORVs) within interstate rights of way.  These rules identify the physical and regulatory requirements for permitting ORV trails adjacent to the interstate roadway and ORV crossings over or beneath the interstate roadway. 

Copies of the proposed rules are available through the Wyoming Secretary of State’s office at https://rules.wyo.gov.  Copies of the rules are also available on request by email at dot-managementservices@wyo.gov, or by writing to:
