Jeff 232 Report post Posted February 9, 2006 I have, I looked up the website for the college and they had all the departments listed I wrote to the procurement Dept and the head of Maint. Then I called and asked the head of maint. if I could come in and meet with him. I did nice guy brought in a couple dozen donuts sat and did my sales routine and he said he'd put me on their list to notify for bidding. Didnt hear from him for several months did follow up a couple times and finally got a call/email for bidding on 21 dorn buildings the 3 levels of breezeways. I lost out to an extreme lowballer, the guy got it for half of my bid Try Procurement Dept & Maint Chief Good luck JL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JFife 14 Report post Posted February 9, 2006 Did this my fresh/soph. years of college....but I was attending the college so that probably helped. Did library, brick walls, football stadium, etc. Payed me what I asked, probably 5-10 cents a ft. Go to maintenance dept, sure will help if you have some pull, i.e. child attending, know the Prez, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VanDiesel99 14 Report post Posted February 9, 2006 I go to the University so I think that will help me pursuade them into it. Its much in need of it, just need to beat down the door. I just didn't want to go in and not have all the right licenses and so forth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
