Bid from what your crews actually did, and what the low bidder actually charged.

What it does

• 01

  The agency's schedule, item by item

  Paste or import the item schedule: item number, description, unit, quantity, and whether it is unit-price, lump sum, stipulated or an allowance.

• 02

  Cost build-up per item

  Labor hours per unit times your crew's loaded prevailing-wage rate, material at your distributor price and date, equipment, and sub quotes. Insert a saved assembly in one click.

• 03

  Your production history, next to the bid unit

  For each cost code, see actual hours per unit on your last closed jobs with min, average and max. Use the average, or override it and say why.

• 04

  Bid-tab intelligence

  Import public bid results with every bidder's item prices. While you price an item you see the winners' range: "Winners $34k to $41k. You: $148k." Stipulated and allowance items are left out of the comparison.

• 05

  Indirects you can see

  Mobilization, traffic control, bonds, insurance and supervision are allocated on purpose, line by line, instead of spread evenly across every item.

• 06

  What-if markup

  "At 8% markup you would have been low on 6 of the last 10 comparable bids." Track hit ratio and money left on the table by agency and work type.

• 07

  Bid-day checklist

  Bid bond, every addendum acknowledged, DIR registration, DVBE forms, and subs over the PCC 4104 listing threshold flagged automatically. Once bids are read, a reminder of the 5-working-day bid-mistake window.

• 08

  Won bid to project in one click

  Bid items, cost codes and the budget in hours and dollars by cost type carry straight into the new job.
