Bidtabs.net by Oman Systems
I am frequently asked where in HeavyBid can competitor prices be entered and the request is usually for public jobs. Storing and querying bid tabs is not a direction HeavyBid seems to be taking. There is still the “Bid History” but you would have to enter in each competitor’s prices and frankly the interface is very cumbersome and no improvements are in the works. Many states will allow you to download historical bid prices but you have to be aware that the average unit price for the year can have a very large swing in the minimum price and maximum price. The best source for county and state DOT historical bid prices that I know about is Bidtabs by Oman Systems. LINK . If you are in need of detailed pricing Oman does a great job of providing this. What would really be useful if HCSS could forge a relationship with Oman much as they have done with RS Means but unfortunately Oman has an estimating program also although I rarely see it in the arena HCSS is in. Oman does a great job at bid tabs and the price is reasonable if you are a regular user and need this kind of service.
