Who it's for

Good at the trade. Not set up for public bids.

Public work pays on paper first: forms, affidavits, addenda, notaries, sealed envelopes and due times measured to the minute. If your crew is booked and nobody in the office has time to chase that, we are the office for it.

What we do

From the posting to the payment.

We find the bids

City, county and state postings, screened for your trade before they reach you.

  • OpenGov, BidNet Direct, DemandStar, MyFloridaMarketPlace, SAM.gov and city bid pages
  • Vetted for location, scope, bonding and insurance requirements
  • A short go / no-go brief with every date that matters

We research the history

What the agency paid last time, and who it paid.

  • Public-records pulls of prior bids and bid tabulations
  • Awarded unit prices and the incumbent on the current contract
  • Agency payment history, where the record shows it
  • Inflation and regional comparisons, including FDOT District 3 unit-cost data

We guide the pricing

Line-by-line notes. Your numbers.

  • Where to stay close to cost and where margin has room
  • Aligned to what the agency says it weighs and prefers
  • You set and sign every price. We never quote or negotiate construction prices with an agency.

We build the compliance package

Nothing missing, nothing late, nothing unsigned.

  • A line-by-line compliance matrix built from the solicitation
  • Addenda tracked and acknowledged
  • Every form completed for your review
  • Notary coordination, qualifications narrative and references
  • Sealed package, hand delivery and written receipt confirmation

We ask the buyer first

Unclear spec? It gets asked in writing, before the Q&A deadline.

  • Buyer questions drafted from the solicitation and sent for your OK
  • Answers and addenda folded into the package

We run the paperwork after award

You keep the crew on the job. We keep the file clean.

  • Work-order intake
  • Before and after photo sets and service reports
  • Invoices prepared for your approval
  • Insurance and license renewal tracking
  • Records kept ready for an audit or a public-records request
  • Payment follow-up with the agency

Who does what

Tap a stage. See the split.

Your company bids as the prime contractor and does every bit of the licensed work. We carry the research, the paperwork and the legwork around it.

Kai's Run handles

  • Watch OpenGov, BidNet Direct, DemandStar, MyFloridaMarketPlace, SAM.gov and city bid pages
  • Screen each posting for your trade, location, bonding and insurance asks
  • Send you a short go / no-go brief with the due date and pre-bid meeting

You decide

  • Say yes or pass. Nothing moves without your OK.

Our service standards

The clock we hold ourselves to.

Work-order acknowledgment
Samebusiness day
Photo and service reports
2business days
Insurance, license and registration renewal reminders
45days ahead

These are our working standards for our part of the job. They are not a promise of award, and they do not cover the licensed work, which your company performs and schedules.

Teaming agreement first

You stay in control.

  1. 1

    Talk. Tell us your trade, your area and the work you want.

  2. 2

    Sign. We sign a teaming agreement before you share a single bid detail. It keeps your pricing and strategy confidential.

  3. 3

    Bid. We start finding and preparing bids. You approve each one, sign each price and decide what goes in.

Plain limits

What Kai's Run never does.

  • Hold or use your license
  • Perform construction or any licensed work
  • Set your prices, or quote and negotiate construction prices with an agency
  • See your bid details before a teaming agreement is signed
  • Promise an award

Kai's Run LLC is not a contractor and holds no contractor license. All construction and licensed work is performed by your company, under your license.

For agencies

One organized point of contact.

  • Complete packages that follow your instructions and acknowledge every addendum
  • One person to call about paperwork, reports and invoices
  • Photo and service reports on a set schedule
  • Records kept ready for audits and public-records requests

Company data, codes and our capability statement are on the contractors & agencies page.
