One winter, sixteen sites
I wrote the proposal for a forestry contractor's dashcam program, then delivered it across 16 sites in Canada and the US over one winter.

The problem
Straight trucks, tractors and trailers spread across sites in two countries, with installs that had to fit a December-to-March window. The scope grew from 100 camera sets at 14 locations to 173 assets at 16, about 700 estimated install hours.
What I did
I was the named proposal manager, so the plan was mine from the first page:
- Scope of work: problem summary, requirements, platform, a per-location install-duration table, six assumptions, ten risks, schedule, pricing and payment terms, seven acceptance criteria and the sign-off.
- Project plan: a per-asset install register with status tracking, a per-location hours model, a weekly grid, and fulfilment, tracking and invoicing columns.
- After go-live: a service repairs tracker, idling scorecards and quarterly business reviews.
The result
156 units completed over one winter, each on a three-year subscription, despite 31 cancellations and 5 no-shows along the way.
