Municipal Engineering
(OP)
I am making the transition from a land development business to one that provides engineering services to municipalities (sewer, water, etc.) It seems as if most cities already have a relationship with a firm - usually they have been with that firm for several years. This business is proving difficult to break into. Just wanted to know if anyone out there has any tips.

I was asked once to submit my hourly rates along with a performance and bid bond. I wrote back that professional service providers typically do not secure performance bonds since the bonding company cannot not step in to provide a service they are not licensed to perform.
And a bid bond is a guarantee I would not withdraw after bidding but before executing a contract. I stated I do not beleive the public is served by competitively bidding professional services.
