Elm Street Bridge, Town of Ashford (2022)

Our bridge group has delivered rehabilitation design for municipal owners since 2009, including deck replacements kept open to traffic.

Project manager Dana Ruiz, PE, led the Elm Street rehabilitation.

For Mill Creek, the same staging meets the one lane open in each direction the City requires.

Questions firms ask us

Canary is a proposal team for engineering and architecture firms. We work under NDA, from your own past work, and nothing reaches an agency without your sign-off.

Start with your next bid
Is this an AI tool?

No. Canary is a service: you work with people, not a login. We use AI to search public bids and pull the right material from your past proposals, then a person on our team checks every page against the RFP before it reaches you. There is no software for your team to learn or manage.

Will it sound like us?

Yes. We write from your own past proposals, project sheets and resumes, so your firm's language, projects and people come through. Before the first proposal we agree on tone and anything you never want said, and the edits you make on each proposal shape the next one.

Does anything go out without us?

Never. We email you the proposal ready for review. Your team adds the parts only you can write, signs it and submits it, through the agency's portal or in person. We never contact an agency on your behalf.

How do we know it's right?

Every paragraph is traced to the file it came from, so you can check any claim in seconds. We build each proposal around the agency's scoring criteria, section by section, track every addendum, and attach a requirements checklist covering page limits, forms and signatures, so nothing gets a submission thrown out.

What do you need from us?

Once: your past proposals, project sheets and staff resumes, sent under NDA. After that, a quick yes or no on the bids we bring you, and your team's part of each proposal, usually the approach and why your team is the right one.

What happens to our files?

We sign an NDA before you send anything. Your files are used only for your firm's proposals, never for another firm's, and never to train AI models. Only the people working on your proposals can see them, and we delete them whenever you ask.

How is it priced?

A flat monthly fee covers the bid search and a go/no-go on every bid that fits you. Each proposal has a fixed price agreed before we start, and you pay it only when you submit. We never take a share of a contract you win.

What happens after the call?

After a 15-minute call we sign an NDA and you send us your past work. We start on the next bid that fits your firm, and agree the delivery date for each proposal before we begin, so you always know when it will land.
