City in Indiana Partners with BidBridge to Purchase Heavy Equipment

This Indiana city hosted its first event with BidBridge for the purchase of a portable trommel  screening machine.

BidBridge sourced 9 suppliers, with two being approved by the buyer.   The event lasted 38 minutes, yielding 42 bids, 15 first place turn-overs and 17 time extensions.

Due to the high unemployment rates and depressed local economy, this Indiana city received a great amount of media attention this year, and was profiled in the New York Times late last year as the “white-hot center of the meltdown of the American economy”.

By engaging BidBridge, the city has proven that its leadership is making strides to save tax payer dollars and cut costs.  BidBridge has a proven track record of 10-15% savings on hosted events and was able to deliver significant savings for the city and ultimately the tax payers of Indiana.
