Find and qualify

Every bid worth a look, and why

Stop checking six sites. Each bid arrives scored against your own criteria, with a reason for every check, so you can decide without opening the specs.
  • Six sources, one list
    The Central Register, BidDocs, Bid Express, MassDOT bidx, Tighe & Bond and COMMBUYS, read in full rather than by headline.
  • One bid, not six
    The same project posted on several sites becomes one entry, with every source linked.
  • Your criteria, checked
    Drive time from your yards, scope you self-perform, MassDOT prequal and waiver math, bonding room, schedule and mandatory pre-bids.
Pursue

The steps that are easy to miss

Missed addenda and late planholder sign-ups lose bids. Earth Works handles them on every site, and asks first.
  • Planholder registration
    On the bid site with your own account, or an email to the town or engineer, once you approve it.
  • Addenda never missed
    Every addendum on every bid you pursue, with a reminder to acknowledge it on the bid form.
  • The calendar keeps itself
    Bid dates, pre-bid meetings and waiver deadlines, moved when the date moves, and a warning when jobs pile up.
AI takeoff

Quantities from the plans, checked against the engineer

Upload the plans and specs. The AI reads every sheet and takes off each pay item the way it's paid, with work you can check. Quantities only go into your bid when you accept them.
  • Measured the way it pays
    Each pay item under its Method of Measurement in the MassDOT Standard Specifications and the project special provisions.
  • Every number has a source
    The math for each quantity and the sheet it came from. Anything measured from scale is flagged.
  • Engineer quantities, checked
    Line by line against the bid form, with overruns and shortfalls called out as opportunities or risks.
AI pricing

Prices built from what you actually pay

Each item gets a unit price, a cost split and a one-line reason, with flags where the price is far from the market or a material has no quote behind it.
  • Your own numbers first
    Unit prices from your past bid workbooks, matched to each item.
  • Quotes read for you
    Supplier and sub quotes, PDF, spreadsheet or a photo, read and matched to bid items.
  • The market, by district
    MassDOT's weighted bid prices, refreshed weekly, as a check on every item.
Win confidence

Know your odds before you seal the envelope

Earth Works weighs the engineer's estimate, your price and how the likely bidders have bid, and shows what each number buys you.
  • Every number has odds
    Your chance of being low at each total, the expected low bid and where expected profit peaks.
  • Know who you are up against
    Likely bidders and how each tends to price, from every bid result in the state.
  • Sharper with every opening
    Results come in as bids open, and every one improves the next curve.
