You are going to have a hard time no matter where you go. It doesn't matter if it's a $1000.00 project, or a $10,000.00 project. Many are simply outsourced Indians, Paki, etc. with a U.S. or western based front man, or project manager.
Additionally, on any larger projects, you are going to have a hard time getting those guys to submit a detailed schedule to your RFP. Including payment milestones, completion dates (phase 1, phase 2, etc.). Where there is a clear understanding of the project, time lines, and commitment to completion. Very few will do this even on the large, ongoing, projects $10,000.00+.
You are going to literally have to go through a hundred 'bidders' to find a decent one or two.
