What agencies are saying
From start to finish, the old way of getting a bid out was about three days. And now it takes what, an hour?

The bidders who bid with us regularly are really comfortable using Bid Express, and we don't have any issues with non-compliance or nonresponsive bidders.
Celeste Jantz
Contract Compliance Officer, City of Milwaukee
Probably about 60% of the bids I've done, I've templated somehow. Ammunition, road slips, retaining walls, all of those I've templated. My bids take me 15 minutes max.

It's been a really wonderful system. It saves a ton of time and money for us and our contractors.

Bid Express gives us the opportunity to reach bidders who might not be looking in the local newspaper for projects in Jackson County.
