Records & Research
We research a parcel, a company, a competitor, a bidder, or a property using the public record, and deliver the findings as one written dossier with every line cited to its source. Dossiers cost $150 to $500 depending on scope, and we confirm the scope and price in writing before any work starts. The same division runs Seaside Radar, a free weekly email of new public bids and RFPs from twelve town boards across Plymouth County and Cape Cod.
Records & Research is a division of The Seaside Labs, Wareham, Massachusetts. The free bid feed covers Plymouth, Kingston, Bourne, Wareham, Marion, Rochester, Carver, Duxbury, Plympton, Marshfield, Pembroke and Halifax, and every listing links to the official town bid board.
You name the subject: a bid, a parcel, a competitor, a bidder, or a property. We compile what the public record holds about it and deliver one written dossier you can act on or share with a partner.
Tell us the subject and what you need to understand. We confirm the scope and a flat price in writing, then research the public record and deliver a single standalone file with each finding cited to its source.

The feed is free, with no card required and no trial period. It is our introduction to contractors and firms working in the towns we cover.
As more towns are added, they join the same feed, so one email covers everywhere you bid as coverage grows across the South Shore and Cape Cod.
When a listing in the feed raises a question about the property, the owner, or the competition, a custom dossier answers it from the public record.
Twelve towns are checked daily today. The rest of the South Shore and Cape Cod are being added one town at a time.
Each of these towns is checked daily. Most boards post nothing for weeks and then post several notices at once, and the feed reports each new posting the morning it appears.

Tell us where you bid and we will prioritize that town. Requests help decide which town is added next.
Request your townFour of the twelve towns, Carver, Duxbury, Plympton and Marshfield, post their solicitations through COMMBUYS, the Massachusetts state procurement portal, rather than on a bid board of their own, so the feed monitors COMMBUYS for them. Marshfield posts under two separate organizations there, one of which is its Public Works department, and the feed covers both. Listings from these four towns arrive in the same email as the others.
