Placing Bids on Public or Government Cleaning Projects | How to Start/Run a Successful Commercial RealEstate/Construction Business




Placing Bids on Public or Government Cleaning Projects

This is a very important tip that can save you a lot of time and make you a lot of money: government and most public agencies are obligated to let the public (including contractors or bidders) know how they are spending the tax dollars they receive. This means they will give you the name of the current building cleaning contractor and the price being paid for the job you are interested in, if you request this information. Yearly or monthly bid price information, as well as current and sometimes past contract information, is all at your disposal before you place your own government bid. All you have to do is call, fax or send a short letter asking about the building, giving name, address, ask for any bid information they have on file. Sometimes you will get your answer the same day over the phone. If not, in a few days you will get a return phone call, fax, or letter in the mail with the current cleaning company’s name, address, phone number and, most importantly, the current bid price on the job you are interested in. I am telling you this to make you interested in some of the public/government work that is out there, because most construction and daily building cleaning contractors just do not know much about this source of work. This information will gain you entrance into many government doors and this will help you make some more of your dirty millions the clean way fast!



When you see what earlier contractors have bid to do a government job, do not just shave dollars off of there original bid, because the other building cleaning contractor’s bid over the years may already be as low as possible and still may or may not make a profit. Do a little research and reading to get as much information about the government job as you can. Before placing your bid, go back as many years as you can to see how much the bid was on this property five or six years ago. This way you will see just how much money, if any, has already been shaved off the bid over the years. Another factor you have to keep in mind is that what may work on a job site for one company budget may not work for you and your company because, for example, every company has different business expenses, bonuses and hourly rates for their employees. It is nice to use the free public information to your advantage, but do not settle on a price simply because someone else’s bid worked out for them four or five years ago. Note: There is a lot of big money in government contracts, you may need to travel and do a little paper work, but it’s well worth it.

Construction contracts are a great source of one-time routine cleaning for your business. When new homes, office, malls, schools, apartments, hospitals, and all types of different buildings pop up, they need to be cleaned before potential buyers or owners make their way through. If you are able to get a lot of construction contracts, you will be on your way to making dirty millions the clean way! Here are a few tips to help you with construction contracts near you.
