Public bid pages, watched for you.

Who it is for

Small contractors who bid or sub on city and county public works in King and Snohomish counties: sidewalks, curb and gutter, ADA curb ramps, paving and pavement preservation, concrete and site work. A bid window can close in about two weeks, and the postings are spread across many agency websites.

It is not for you if the agencies' free alerts already tell you everything you need. We would rather say that up front.

What it is

Done-for-you monitoring. We choose the pages with you, test each one, and watch them for 60 days. It is built on Until, our watch service: each watch fetches a public page on a fixed schedule and fires when a specific condition is met, such as a new bid appearing or a keyword showing up. An alert includes a link to the official posting.

Alerts are not filtered by trade. A watch can fire on anything new on the page, including bid tabs, awards and non-construction items.

How it works

1. 1

   Tell us your pages

   Pick the pages you care about below, or name other cities. We tell you which ones we can watch and which we cannot.

2. 2

   We set up the watches

   Every page gets a free test fetch first. You see which pages pass before you pay anything.

3. 3

   You get an alert

   When something new posts on a page we watch, you get an alert with a link to the official notice, for 60 days.

How alerts reach you. Today alerts are delivered by webhook (a signed message to a URL you give us). Email alerts are coming soon and are not live yet. Before you pay anything, we confirm how you will receive your alerts.

Covered pages

These 14 bid and notice pages loaded and could be checked in our test on October 15, 2026. Agencies change their sites without notice, so we re-test before we set you up.

Honest limits

• Some pages cannot be watched. We read plain HTML and JSON only. We cannot watch pages that build their content with JavaScript, pages behind a login, or sites that block automated visitors. We respect each site's robots.txt, use no proxies and never solve captchas.
• Not watchable today: Bothell (its page blocks our fetcher); Everett (blocks automated visitors); Seattle's OpenGov procurement portal (blocks automated visitors); King County's Oracle solicitations portal (cannot be fetched).
• Not tested yet: Issaquah, Tukwila, Kenmore, Shoreline, Mercer Island, Newcastle. Treat them as unavailable until we test them for you.
• Seven-day watches, chained. Each watch runs for at most 7 days. We chain them (re-arm) to cover your 60 days. A chain can stop early, for example if a cap is reached, and need a restart, so there can be short gaps.
• Periodic, not real time. Pages are checked on a schedule (hourly by default). A city can also change its page layout without notice.
• Alerts today are by webhook. Email alerts are coming soon and are not live.
• We cannot promise that a matching bid will be posted during your 60 days, or that you will win work.

Pricing

Prepaid for 60 days. No subscription and no automatic renewal: nothing bills again unless you ask. A “page” is one source URL from the list above.

No payment is taken on this page. After your free trial, we arrange billing with you directly.

Request a free trial

Tell us which pages you care about. We run a free test on them and, where a page passes, set up one free 7-day watch so you can see what an alert looks like. This form only sends us a request: nothing is charged, and no emails go out automatically.

Building something yourself?

This service runs on the Until watch API, which you can use directly: a free dry-run, prepaid credits and signed receipts. See the home page or the API docs.
