🚧 How do you still award projects using paper? 🚧

Paper-Based Procurement is Costly & Time-Consuming.

📌 Manual procurement processes increase costs by 20-30% due to inefficiencies, errors, and administrative overhead. (Source: NIGP)

📌 A paper-based purchase order can cost up to $500 per transaction, while digital procurement reduces this to as little as $50. (Source: NASPO)

💡 The solution? No paper.

With video and AI, planning, designing, and procuring projects becomes simpler, faster, and more convenient for everyone involved.

The first step in project management isn’t scheduling or budgeting—it’s finding projects. And that starts with building relationships.

In civil infrastructure, that means:

✅ Face-to-Face Meetings
✅ Attending Tradeshows
✅ Lunch and Learns
✅ Speaking at Events
✅ Referrals

The reality? Building trust and credibility takes 3-6+ months—sometimes longer. And getting just one project can cost thousands in travel, sponsorships, and time.

Then comes project management, vendor sourcing, and bidding—another long, expensive process.

But what if there was a network that helped you build relationships digitally—before you ever stepped into a meeting?

What if you had a platform to manage and bid projects—streamlining procurement and saving months of effort?

That’s the future. And it’s already here.

Let’s talk.

Our CEO Chad Smeltzer, recently had a podcast conversation on The Infrastructure Network with Jolene Coulter, Director of Purchasing and Jessica Price MWBE Purchasing Coordinator for the City of Aurora, highlighted how thoughtful procurement shapes communities. From facilitating inclusive opportunities for minority-owned businesses to ensuring every dollar benefits the public, her team balances transparency, accountability, and innovation in every project.

Did you know? Cities like Aurora are leading the way with responsible bidding practices, including apprenticeship programs that ensure quality and skill development. According to NASPO, such initiatives significantly boost project outcomes and workforce sustainability.

Business Development is about building trust and credibility. Your sales pitch, however, is just a transaction.

In government procurement, you can spend years pitching your ideas and concepts to stakeholders—but you’re not the only one doing so.

The industry is crowded with companies trying to break into the government contracting space. Instead of pushing a product or service, you should focus on providing education, building networks, and offering support.

Here’s the thing about government procurement: purchasing managers are passionate about their jobs, and they want you to feel the same way about yours.

Start by providing value and showing genuine passion for what you do. Love what you do!

🛑 When oversight fails, trust and safety collapse. Bribery and fraud in civil engineering inspections aren’t just ethical violations—they put lives at risk and erode public trust. ASCE highlights how resource gaps, weak oversight, and lack of accountability fuel these failures.

🏗️ Transparent systems and stronger regulations are not optional—they're essential.

💡 Why “Cheaper” Isn’t Always Better 💡

"Low bids often lead to high costs down the road. True value is in quality and long-term impact." – Nick Spano

Too often, infrastructure projects prioritize the lowest bid without considering the long-term implications. This approach can lead to premature failures, repeated repairs, and increased costs for taxpayers.

📊 Key Stats to Know:

Projects that cut corners cost up to 50% more to rehabilitate when they fail (NASPO).
Over 40% of municipal infrastructure projects exceed their budgets due to poor initial quality (ASCE Report Card).
By focusing on lifecycle costs instead of just the price tag, municipalities can save money and create sustainable infrastructure solutions. Let’s prioritize quality over cost.

What’s your take? Should municipalities rethink how they choose contractors? Share your thoughts below! 👇
