Changelog

Alaska and Massachusetts are live

Two more state DOTs join the platform: Alaska and Massachusetts. Full bid tabulations and forecast data are available in both.

Your forecast edits save as you type

The Forecast table now saves your changes locally the moment you make them and syncs to the server in the background. Moving a category no longer locks you out of setting sub-vendors while the table catches up.

See a competitor's active backlog

Vendor profiles now surface the jobs a competitor is still working on, based on work completion dates. Backlog reflects what is actually in progress right now.

Improvements

• Forecast: the totals row (Rough In plus Prediction) stays frozen, with sticky headers and horizontal scroll.
• Similar Bids: editing a percent inline no longer expands the job row.
• Bid It handles large PDFs and scanned (OCR) sets more reliably, so more items and alternates come through.
• The work-category modal on contractor profiles shows the right columns.
• Contractor reports now show the full month on the final page.

Smaller fixes

• Clearer helper text on the file upload pill.
• Prediction tab percentages now use your edited forecast values instead of the Market Baseline.

Export Bid Tabulations to CSV or Excel

Send bid tabulation data straight to CSV or Excel. Export buttons now sit right next to each view.

My Bids now has a state-level view and lets you sort by project type. If you bid across several DOTs, you can group similar work without filtering by hand.

See awarded dollars by year and month, vendor share, and breakdowns by category and geography with interactive Map, County, and District views. Click any bar, slice, or map area to open the bids behind it, and narrow everything by district, county, bid size, work category, job type, or vendor.

Compare Owners

Line up every owner your organization tracks side by side. Compare funding by year, item collection, region, and category, then click any cell to see the bids behind it. A combined map shows where each owner's work is at a glance.

Nevada, Vermont, Maine, New Mexico, and Utah are now live with full bid history. Thousands of contracts and hundreds of thousands of line items added this week.

Export any Bid Tabulations table

Every table in Bid Tabulations now has an export button. Download exactly what you see on screen, filtered and sorted, as CSV or Excel.

New Hampshire and Connecticut bid tabulations are fully integrated. New Hampshire alone added 258 contracts and 27K rows of historical data.

Cost estimate data from PennDOT, obtained via a Pennsylvania Right to Know request, is now available. You can compare bids against owner cost estimates on every Pennsylvania proposal you analyze.

Competitor Profile: Trends and Geography

The vendor detail view has been redesigned. Every header metric (dollars won, jobs bid, win rate, multi-bidder wins, dollars left on the table, deviation, and average rank) is now a trend instead of a lifetime number. Year-over-year is the default, with toggles for trailing-12 and all-time. There is also a new interactive map of won counties (district-colored on DOTs) with drill-through to the underlying jobs.

Filter vendors across every state they operate in, not just one. A contractor working in five states now shows up once with combined results, instead of being scattered across state-scoped views.

You can now forecast against historical bid data from CA, NY, NJ, and DE DOTs. New York alone added 795 past contracts and 239,000 line items of bid history.

Post-Bid Recap, rebuilt

The Post-Bid Recap got a redesign. Once official actuals come in, they take over from your As-Read numbers automatically. My Price now reflects your team’s actual bid, exports work again, and tab navigation is back to normal.

Similar Items now combines every match into one weighted price

When more than one past line item matches what you’re pricing, we combine them into a single weighted price instead of showing every variant separately. Duplicates are removed automatically, and description-only matches are labeled “Similar Item” so you always know what you’re looking at.

Duplicate a forecast

Right-click any forecast to clone it, either from the list or from inside the forecast itself. Use it to test a new scenario without rebuilding from scratch.

Smarter forecast pricing

• Vendors are now sorted by forecasted bid amount, so your strongest competitor stays at the top.
• When we can’t find an exact item-number match, we fall back to description-based matching, so fewer items come back blank.

Smaller fixes

• Florida DOT item-number matching now handles formatting differences (extra spaces and variants).
