I keep track of which companies have the contracts with local districts, cities and schools, for any kind of work.

For each job I write down who has it, what they get paid, when the contract is up, who else bid on it, and who manages the district. I get it all from the meeting documents these places post for the public.

Why it helps

• You can see which jobs in your line of work are coming up soon.
• You know what the company doing it now gets paid.
• You know who you'd be bidding against.
• You know who to call before the job goes out to bid.

Kinds of work

• Landscaping
• Snow removal
• Cleaning
• Pressure washing
• Pools
• Fencing
• Painting
• Roofing
• Paving
• Plumbing
• Electrical
• HVAC
• Security
• Anything else they hire out

From Jonah

I'm Jonah. I started this because all of it is public, but it's buried in long meeting documents nobody has time to dig through. Right now I'm trying it out as a paid subscription with a few contractors. If you want to know if I track your area, send me an email with the kind of work you do and where you do it.
