A large school district in Chicago’s northwest suburbs recently saved 47% off budget on a service contract for Parking Lot Paving and Maintenance.  The three-year contract will see a reduction in costs of $115,000 and the winning vendor was an incumbent.

eBridge’s Specification Development Team suggested a new approach to capturing the pricing.  The auction broke it down into measurable, responsible pieces by square and liner footage that helped minimizing inefficiencies.  This recommendation helped them to standardize their pricing for future projects,  provided exact measurements of their property (provided by vendors), and solidified their budget for the next 3 years.
