The moment

A highway letting is revenue with a posted date. Weeks ahead, the schedule names the job, the estimate on file and the contractors already holding plans.

The Crane tracks every contract scheduled to let in the next 60 days and puts a year of bid results behind each name on the plan holder list. Suppliers see who's pricing which job this week. Contractors see who else pulled plans on theirs.

Who it's for

  • Mid-market road and bridge contractors
  • Aggregate, asphalt and rebar suppliers
  • Equipment dealers and rental yards
  • Surety and bonding agents
  • Fuel and trucking outfits serving pavers

What you get

  • Every contract scheduled to go to bid in the next 60 days, with the estimate on file
  • The contractors holding plans on each job
  • A year of bid results for every name on that list
  • The county, the work type and the letting date for each job

The outcome

Your supplier reps call the contractors pricing a job while they're still building the bid. Your estimators walk into letting day knowing who they're up against and how those firms bid last year.

Questions buyers ask

Is the estimate the award amount?
No. It's the estimate on file before the letting. The low bid on letting day sets the award, and the machine doesn't call a winner before then.
Does holding plans mean a contractor will bid?
It means they're interested enough to pull the plans. Plenty of plan holders don't bid. It's still the list of who's looking hard at the job.
How far ahead can I see a letting?
The window runs 60 days out, so most jobs show up weeks before their bid date. That gives a supplier time to get a quote in front of every plan holder.
