COBA has started a new online invitation to bid subscription service called Connection Depot along with a full service bid/plan center just behind the restaurant at 4th and Greenwood. Our address is 1051 NE 4th Street in Bend.
COBA is a private sector non-profit trade association that works for the benefit of its members. COBA has introduced this exciting new service for interested COBA members because it has long been at the top of list of the most requested services our members want.
The service is called Connection Depot and will give contractors, trades and suppliers an online invitation to bid web portal where you can view and track projects as well as get your name in front of working contractors. General contractors can in turn send either public or private invitations to subs and suppliers for any project they are working on. While we can't guarantee that participating contractors will get invited to bid every job, our plan center members will have the opportunity to bid open jobs almost every month in nearly every category of work. When there's building activity you'll be in the know and on the list to bid!
There are both private and public projects in the system and the plan center serves both residential and commercial contractors.
The Connection Depot service also includes weekly permit and project information delivered by email for hundreds of permits and projects from all over Oregon and parts of Washington and Idaho. An important goal of Connection Depot is to bring traded sector income home to Central Oregon. When you become a Connection Depot member, you’re essentially hiring an extra team to be looking for jobs and permits for you every week, helping to free up some of your valuable time so you can go out and work on or bid the jobs.
Connection Depot members get discount pricing on printing and reproduction of plans. Our prices will be value driven and hard to beat and you can currently get your plans printed at just $1 a page for D sheets.
Our goal is to bring more construction opportunities and jobs to our members and subscribers of the service, which brings more value and profit to our members.
Sign up today, membership in COBA and Connection Depot is $415 for a 12 month annual membership and subscription.
