Seaside Radar

Every town's new bids, filtered to you, free, in one email.

We watch the town bid and RFP boards across the region, filter the new postings down to the trades and towns you actually work, and send them to you in one weekly email. One feed for every town you bid in, instead of signing up to each town's board on its own. Free, no card, no catch.

A division of The Seaside Labs, Wareham, Massachusetts. Live today in Plymouth, Kingston, and Bourne, with more towns rolling out. Every listing links straight back to the official town bid board.

The free feed

One place, filtered to you, across every town.

The boards are public, and you are welcome to them. The work is keeping up with all of them. The free feed does that keeping-up for you, in one weekly email.

One feed, not a dozen sites

Each town runs its own board, on its own site, on its own schedule. The feed pulls them together so you read one email instead of working through a pile of bookmarks you keep meaning to open.

Filtered to your work

You pick your trades and your towns. What lands in your inbox is already trimmed to the bids you would actually go after, not every notice on every board.

It arrives on its own

No site to remember, no weekly habit to keep. It shows up in your inbox. The week you are slammed on a job is the week it earns its keep.

Straight to the source

Every listing carries the official link back to the town's own board, so you can read the full package and request the documents straight from the town. No middle layer, nothing to take our word for.

Free, and meant to stay free

No card, no checkout, no trial that turns into a bill. The feed is a public good and a thank-you for working in the towns we cover. It is how you meet us.

Grows with the region

As we bring more towns online, they join the same feed. One inbox for everywhere you bid, today and as the map fills in across the South Shore and Cape.

That is the whole free feed: every town's new bids, trimmed to your trades, in one email. When you find one worth chasing and you need to understand who and what is really behind it, that is where a Custom Dossier comes in.

The paid product

Found one worth chasing? Know who is really behind it.

A bid, a parcel, a competitor, a property. The town listing tells you a job exists. A Custom Dossier tells you the rest: who owns it, who has won there before, what the record already shows. We pull the deep file the board does not hand you.

A sourced report, built for one question

You point us at a parcel, an entity, a competitor, or a property you are weighing. We compile what the public record holds and hand you a single standalone file you can act on, sit on, or take to a partner.

$150–500 per dossier, scoped to the question

Request a dossier

Ownership chains

Who actually holds the parcel or the entity, through the LLCs and the trusts, back to the people whose names you will sit across the table from.

Past awards and bidders

Who has won this kind of work in this town before, and the field you would be bidding against, drawn from the public award record.

Permit and code history

The permitting and code record tied to a property or address: what has been filed, what is open, what the paper trail says about the site.

Every line cited

Each finding is stamped to its public source, so you can stand behind it and check it yourself. We deliver the file, not a hunch.

No card on this page. Tell us the question and what you want understood, and we confirm scope and a flat price before any work starts. The dossier draws only on the public record and is yours to keep.
