Before you chase a bid on any project tied to Garland's economic development pipeline, ask one question: "who's the general contractor or facilities manager of record, and have I actually talked to them?" Skip that question and you're competing blind against contractors who already have the relationship.

**What's Actually Happening**

**Garland Economic Development relaunched**

**GarlandEDP.com**

with a more deal-oriented, visible pipeline of upcoming projects.

More visible project data means more contractors will be chasing the same bids.

Projects are typically awarded through GC and facilities-manager relationships, not cold bid submissions.

**Why It Matters**

A more visible deal pipeline is good news, until every contractor in the region is chasing the same publicly-known projects with no relationship advantage. The contractors who win aren't the ones who found the project first, they're the ones who identified and built a relationship with the decision-maker first.

**The Move**

Before spending time on any bid tied to a publicly announced Garland project, spend 30 seconds asking: do I actually know who's making this decision? If not, that's step one, before you write a single line of a proposal.
