Request For Proposals
You know I was talking to a contractor and he was questioning why the UAMCC has an RFP agent, why not just let contractors find them themselves. I said not only does it give our membership a chance to bid on RFP's but its EDUCATION for our membership
Have all you UAMCC Contractor Members been looking at these RFP's. Many I would never bid on, but when they are put out to the membership, I request to see many of them. You've seen them, the rules and guidelines to bid are quite often very complex, some are almost a nightmare to figure out for me. BUT I read them, look them over and EDUCATE myself on these RFP's. Someday one might come along that I want to jump on and after reading several I now have a better idea what the process is to bid on some of these projects. I will read more and more and thats what the UAMCC is all about, not just getting contractors work (Which is nice and helpful) But its about educating contractors. How better to educate yourself than by seeing several examples of what you may have to do someday to get a project you want
Another good thing is as a member we as a group have this agent, this benefit. I know locally I am on a couple lists to see the local RFP's, but now I can see more from my area and surrounding areas. How cool is that
This contractor was saying, he never knew of a Pressure Washing group that did this. I asked if other types of trade orgs or groups do this, the answer was yes, probably plenty do it. The UAMCC it looks like is the first to bring pressure washing contractors this...How cool is that?
There is many things I want the UAMCC to do as an org and many things are to be done in the upcoming months and years as this UAMCC grows but I will tell you two of the benefits I always want to see is EDUCATION and help getting jobs
Members read these RFP's and educate yourself, so when the opportunity arises you are more prepared
