Do you read county and city lettings?

Not yet. Why state DOT lettings came first and what local coverage would take.

Not yet. LeadSifter reads state DOT lettings in Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota. County and municipal lettings are not currently monitored.

Why state lettings came first

A state DOT posts one letting at a time, on a regular schedule, with every proposal in the same format: plans, special provisions, a schedule of items and addenda. One letting can hold 40 to 55 proposals, each dozens to hundreds of pages. That's a lot of reading in one place, on a schedule you can plan around.

What local coverage would take

Counties and cities each post work their own way, on their own sites, in their own formats. Reading them well means building and checking a reader for each source, the same way we do before a state goes live.

If local work matters to you, say so when you request a sample report or book a demo. Requests are how we decide what to build next.
