eBidboard has been adopted by over 250 public agencies in California for its streamlining of the bid solicitation process, offering direct links to public agency bid information, a variety of communications tools and a database of historical bid information.
The Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) is the latest in a roster of public agencies that have utilized eBidboard. The addition of LAUSD adds to a tally of $14.4 billion in project postings since the company’s launch in August 2002.
LAUSD is currently hoping to complete 243 new construction projects, such as the 2004 New Facilities Strategic Execution Plan, a road map that will accommodate over 150,000 students on a 2-semester basis. New schools and site expansions will require the acquisition of over 450 acres of land.
To manage and track the bidding process of this new construction undertaking, LAUSD has selected eBidboard with the aim of improving the quality and efficiency of preparing and distributing the volume of bid information, updates and project changes.
Our agency clients, like LAUSD, now have access to better informed bidders when they use eBidboard, stated Michael Cornelius, president and founder of Construction Bidboard. The end result is a much higher quality of bids and projects. Bidders have access to real-time and historical project information to allow them to submit more complete bids.
The eBidboard system advertises projects to a wider contractor base. Individual contractors can automatically receive bid information specific to their work interest. The eBidboard modernizes the construction industry’s paper-based bid solicitation process that introduces substantial business risk for all parties, by providing real-time detailed project information, communication online with owners and prospective bidders and location and solicitation of disadvantaged businesses.
