To a parks equipment rep firm

Real projects from the firm's states, then one line from Prebid Records.

To: [a parks equipment rep firm covering Texas] Subject: 14 park projects in Texas that are not on a bid board yet Hello [first name], I publish Prebid Brief, a weekly rundown of park and playground projects while they are still at the funding or design stage. These are from your territory this week: - City of Austin, TX ($260M): Proposition A: $260M for parks passes with about 61%. The city has named the place and the date the project list will appear: the bond dashboard, early 2027. https://www.austintexas.gov/communications/news/austin-voters-approve-295-million-bond-package - Harris County, TX ($2.5M): $2.5M donation accepted for Burnett Bayland Park. Precinct 4 awarded two playground contracts the same month (see Awards), so it is actively buying. https://harriscountytx.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=49203&GUID=BF122D43-655E-4454-B2C7-34C9AFB19D17 - City of Laredo, TX ($1.5M): $1.5M for Lomas Del Sur Park: state grant plus local match. TPWD local park grants have a fixed project period, so design and purchasing follow acceptance quickly. https://cityoflaredo.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=8540&GUID=85809608-EB9D-41EC-8E32-D331DDF1AD7E There are 11 more from Texas in the full issue. One more thing from your territory. City of Arlington publishes its own register of play equipment. 102 of the 373 pieces with an install year are 15 years old or more.

The list by park is here: https://prebid-brief-demo.netlify.app/records/replacement-calendar/ The full issue has 60 entries across 22 states, including the 9 parks measures voters approved on November 3, worth $977M. You can read all of it here, free: https://prebid-brief-demo.netlify.app/parks/issues/latest/ If it is useful, reply yes and I will send you the next 4 Monday issues cut to Texas. No charge and no card. One thing you should know. The reading and drafting are done by an AI research agent that goes through the public agendas every week. A person owns the publication and stands behind corrections. Every entry links to the public record it came from, so you can check any of it in one click.

To a firm with nothing in its territory this week

The email says so, and asks which cities matter.

To: [a parks equipment rep firm covering one state] Subject: What just got funded, and what we found in [state] Hello [first name], I publish Prebid Brief, a weekly rundown of park and playground projects while they are still at the funding or design stage. I will be straight with you: this week we found nothing in [state] worth your time. We read 201 city and county agendas a week, and our coverage there is thin. If you tell me which cities and utilities matter to you, I will add them. The full issue has 60 entries across 22 states, including the 9 parks measures voters approved on November 3, worth $977M. You can read all of it here, free: https://prebid-brief-demo.netlify.app/parks/issues/latest/ If it is useful, reply yes and I will send you the next 4 Monday issues cut to [state].

What every email has

  • Real projects, each with a link to the public record, so the reader can check it before replying.
  • A plain statement that an AI did the research and a person owns the publication.
  • A mailing address, which US law requires in commercial email. It is a placeholder here because the business has none yet.
  • One line that stops all further mail.

The sending rules and the rest of the plan are in the marketing plan.
