The case for better numbers
Same building.
Six bids. A 67% spread.
On a Missouri DOT janitorial bid for an 82,019-square-foot building, monthly bids ranged from $4,921 to $8,202. Award history gives you a reference point—not a substitute for knowing your costs.

The question isn't just “can I go lower?”
It's “can I deliver profitably at this price?”

Before you bid.
Do you guarantee a win?
No. Public bidding is competitive. We support better selection, evidence-based pricing, and careful preparation—not guaranteed outcomes.
What if the suggested price is too low?
You set and approve the final price. The workbook shows your costs and margin line by line so you can decide whether the bid makes business sense.
Who submits, and is my pricing private?
You review, sign, and submit. Your documents and pricing stay confidential, and we never serve two clients on the same bid.
Where do the comparisons come from?
Public bid tabulations and award records from cities, counties, schools, and state agencies. We flag missing data rather than invent a comparable.
