Of the 141 active site-work projects Signal tracks in Delaware, 44 (31%) are still upstream of the bid board. Buyer concentration is low: 97 distinct public owners across 3 counties, none holding more than 7 of the 142 tracked projects. Broad coverage beats any single relationship in a market shaped like this. The buyer mix splits mainly between municipal governments (25%) and water and sewer authorities (11%). 15 of those pre-bid projects are at pre-bid, the stage where an early conversation can still shape the scope.
