A pool service technician in a navy polo kneels on travertine decking and empties a skimmer basket of leaves, a telescopic pole and a brush laid beside him, a clear pool in front and a white van beyond the gate.

Win the pool route. File every stop from the deck.

Communities send pool RFPs to companies with a current CPO card and insurance on file. Answer on your own letterhead, then file chlorine, pH and a photo at each stop.

The readings go on the visit, not in a notebook.

Free chlorine and pH are required on every pool visit. Alkalinity, cyanuric acid, water temperature, baskets emptied and the chemicals you added go on the same report, so the community reads what you did without a phone call.

  • A flagged reading still filesIf a pool comes back low, the number is stored as you took it and flagged. A typo like pH 74 is refused.
  • Your health department sets the testing intervalThe report records what you tested and when, whatever your county requires.

What a community asks a pool company for.

Each RFP sets its own insurance. These are the documents the pool trade files once and reuses on every community.

  • General liability

    A current certificate. A community that wants workers’ compensation or commercial auto sets that on its own RFP.

  • CPO card

    The pool trade’s credential. File it once and use it for every community.

  • W-9 and business license

    A person at VendoRFP reads both before the community names open to you.

From RFP to your first Tuesday.

See requests from communities near you and propose with your documents already checked.

  1. Read the RFP

    Each pool, its hours and how often the community wants it serviced.

  2. Price each pool as its own line

    Per stop or per month, and say whether chemicals are included or extra.

  3. Send it from Proposal Studio

    Your name and contact line head the page, with photos of pools you service now.

  4. Run the route

    The stops land on one schedule across every community you serve, with directions one tap away.

What pool company owners ask first.

Do I file my CPO card again for every community?

No. File it once and your documents are used for every community you serve.

Can my techs use it without seeing my invoices?

Yes. Invite each employee from your account. Their login opens on today’s stops, and company money never appears on it.

What does it cost?

Joining is free and opening an RFP costs nothing. Plans are on the vendor pricing page.
