▦BoardBidsEvery vendor quote, decoded and put out to bid.
Florida

The board signs it. Somebody should divide it first.

A $26,000 landscape proposal is 110 labor hours at a rate, plants at unit prices, and mulch by the bag — divided, it's checkable; whole, it's a leap of faith. BoardBids does the division on every quote you're holding, flags the clauses, and turns 'we should get more bids' into emails that actually go out.

Why this exists

Boards overpay in the dark, not at the table.

No public database prices local contractors — anyone claiming otherwise is guessing. What a board CAN do: divide every quote into unit prices so vendors' own numbers can be compared, read the clauses before they compound, and put real work out to competing bids. Florida law already points that way.

FS 720.3055Florida HOAs must obtain competitive bids for contracts exceeding 10% of the annual budget (condos: FS 718.3026) — with exceptions, and nothing obliges taking the lowest; the statute is the board's permission slip to shopSource: Fla. Stat. 720.3055$/unitlabor hours × rate, bags × price, square feet × rate — a quote's own arithmetic, shown line by line, is the only honest comparison; BoardBids never substitutes an invented market rateSource: arithmetic on the quotes you hold3 bidsthe cheapest price a board ever sees is the one a competitor writes — the RFQ pack turns your decoded scope into emails to rated companies near your ZIP, fetched live from Google MapsSource: Google Places, live

How it works

Divide, flag, then make them compete.

01

Upload what you're holding

PDF, photo, or paste. Multiple quotes together are compared line against line — same work, different vendors, one table.

02

Read the flags

Late-fee APRs, auto-renewals, hour floors with rate resets, card fees, 100% 'discounts' — the clauses get named in plain English, as questions for the vendor.

03

Send the RFQs

The paid pack writes the request-for-quote email from your decoded scope and lists rated companies near your ZIP to send it to. Cheaper comes from competition, not from a website guessing.
