I was just informed that I've been awarded an $830,000.00 bid.
This will save my job and others at our company for at least the next 6 months.

13. That's the hope. The bonding company is going to love this one.
I was second on the bid a few weeks ago. They threw out the low bidder. Bonding companies love that.

5. Great news!
I had something similar this morning, no PO yet but a customer promised me a bunch of work over the next several months. Yay!

29. It's not. But I think it has a great chance of being awarded because of the money coming in.
It's a school board job in South Florida and they really want to do this.

34. Just curious ...
how much profit do you intend to sell to your customers?

If you're company is average it should be about $332000; after taxes.
