Bidding Blind is Costing You Contracts

Guessing on square footage — you're driving every street yourself or estimating from memory, burning hours before you've won a dollar.
Under-pricing salt and deicing because you don't have exact lane miles or curb-to-curb widths for every street.
Not knowing which municipalities to target — you're prospecting cold without data on who has routes open to bid.
