Competitive Solicitation Summary
This document is a Request for Information (RFI) and draft competitive solicitation issued by the Washington State Department of Enterprise Services for office relocation services. The solicitation seeks bids for intrastate office relocation services, including professional handling, packaging, and transport of complex furniture and office systems, organized into two contract categories: Category 1 (Moving and Assembly of Office Furniture with overnight storage and assembly/disassembly services) and Category 2 (Moving Services of Office Furniture with optional overnight storage only). Awards will be made by geographic region across six designated regions in Washington State (Olympic, Northwest, Southwest, South Central, North Central, and Eastern), with up to three main awards and two reserved awards per category per region. The contract term is sixty months, with prices specified for the first twelve months and subject to adjustment thereafter. Specific deadlines for the question submission period, bid submission, announcement of apparent successful bidders, and contract awards are noted in Section 2.4, though exact dates are left blank in this draft document. A pre-bid conference is planned to familiarize bidders with the procurement process.
Pricing must include all cost elements for labor, equipment, materials, overhead, and profit, with bidders required to submit hourly rates for various employee classifications, truck sizes, overnight storage, and prevailing wage markups for carpenters and electricians. Enterprise Services will evaluate bids using a cost factor scoring methodology (1000 points for the lowest bid with proportional scoring for higher bids), non-cost factors on a pass/fail basis, and state procurement priorities including a fifty-point preference for Executive Order 18-03 compliance. Reserved awards are available for Washington Small Businesses and Certified Veteran-Owned Businesses that did not receive main awards, with subcontractors on reserved contracts also required to meet these qualifications. Historical annual sales for similar services totaled approximately $1,097,215, with top purchasers including Sound Transit, the Department of Health, Department of Fish & Wildlife, Department of Labor and Industries, and Department of Transportation. Bidders must hold valid permits from the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission, demonstrate five years of industry experience, and ensure key personnel have three years of industry experience and permanent employee status.

To ensure a fair and transparent procurement process that is open to all qualified vendors, Washington’s Procurement Code for Goods/Services (RCW 39.26) requires that this procurement be conducted through a competitive solicitation process.
This Competitive Solicitation is designed to result in contracts (“Contract(s)” or “Enterprise Procurement Solution Contract(s)”) that can be used by any Washington State agency as well as other specified eligible purchasers (collectively, “Purchasers”) to purchase the specified goods/services from awarded Bidders (“Contractor” for purposes of the resulting contract). Accordingly, this Competitive Solicitation and the resulting Enterprise Procurement Solution Contracts have unique features, requirements, and terminology, which are explained further in the Bidder Contracting Guide for Enterprise Procurement Solution Contracts for Goods and Services (“Contracting Guide”).
This Competitive Solicitation consists of this document and the exhibits identified in the summary table attached as Appendix A – Summary Table of All Exhibits & the Required Bid Submittals.
This Competitive Solicitation is organized into the following four sections and one appendix:
Section 1 – Opportunity: Describes the opportunity for Bidders - i.e., what goods/services are being solicited; award type; number of awards; historical sales information; and historical purchasers.
Section 2 – Competitive Solicitation Process: Describes the procurement process for this Competitive Solicitation.

This section also includes available historical data about prior purchases that may help Bidders evaluate the potential opportunity including, when available, prior purchasing data.
1.1. SCOPE OF INCLUDED GOODS/SERVICES. Enterprise Services is using this Competitive Solicitation to solicit value-added bids from innovative, qualified Bidders to provide office relocation services (“Office Relocation Services” or “Goods/Services”) that, at a minimum, meet or exceed any required minimum specifications for the Goods/Services and/or the required minimum performance requirements for Bidders who are awarded a Contract as stated in Exhibit B – Contract Provide intrastate office relocation services, which include the professional handling, packaging, and transport of complex furniture and office systems. Additional product/service requirements are on page 27 of Exhibit B – Contract in the section titled "Included Goods/Services."

Bidders may bid on any or all specified Geographic Regions.
Contract Award Type. As detailed below in the Contract Award Summary Table, Enterprise Services also intends to make two types of Contract Awards:
Main Awards for Contracts. Main Awards are open to all Bidders. Enterprise
Services intends to make Main Awards by specified Contract Category within each specified Geographic Region, to the highest scored, responsive, responsible Bidders.
Reserved Awards for Contracts. Reserved Awards are best value procurement awards. Enterprise Services encourages the use of Washington Small Businesses and/or Certified Veteran-Owned Businesses for contract opportunities. Accordingly, to help facilitate Washington state agency purchases of Goods/Services from Washington Small Businesses and/or Certified Veteran-Owned Businesses, Enterprise Services intends to make Reserved Awards, for each specified Contract Category within each specified Geographic Region, to the highest scored, responsive, responsible Bidder who:
• Did not receive a Main Award for such specified Contract Category within such specified Geographic Region; and
• Certifies pursuant to Exhibit A – Bidder’s Certification and qualifies as a Washington Small Business and/or Washington Certified Veteran-Owned Business. If subcontractors are utilized on a Reserved Award Contract, those subcontractors also must qualify as a Washington Small Business and/or Certified Veteran-Owned Business as described in Exhibit A – Bidder’s Certification.

4.2. BID RESPONSIVENESS REVIEW (PASS/FAIL). Enterprise Services will review bids – on a pass/fail basis – to determine whether the bid complies with the Competitive Solicitation requirements and, therefore, is ‘responsive.’ If Enterprise Services determines that a bid is nonresponsive, Enterprise Services will reject the bid and notify the Bidder, in writing, that the bid is nonresponsive. Such written notification will include a brief explanation as to why the bid is nonresponsive.
Enterprise Services, in its discretion, may waive informalities in a bid. An informality is an immaterial variation from the exact requirements of the Competitive Solicitation, having no effect or merely a minor or negligible effect on quality, quantity, or delivery of the goods or the quality, capability, or performance of the services being procured, and the correction or waiver of which would not affect the relative standing of, or be otherwise prejudicial, to Bidders.
Consistent with the Washington State Legislature’s policy goals to reduce barriers to competition and increasing opportunities for small businesses to contract with state agencies, Enterprise Services, in its discretion, may clarify a Bidder’s bid that is in substantial compliance with the
DRAFT D
o N
COMPETITIVE SOLICITATION NO. 02326 – OFFICE RELOCATION SERVICES PAGE 11
instructions. Clarifications are intended to ensure that the bids are complete and can be evaluated fairly.
REVIEW BIDDER’S REQUIRED BID SUBMITTALS (STEP 1A). Enterprise Services will review each bid to determine whether:
The bid is complete – i.e., does Bidder’s bid include each of the
Required Bid Submittals as stated in Appendix A – Summary Table of All Exhibits & the Required Bid Submittals;
Bidder’s Required Bid Submittals are complete, consistent with the instructions, signed, and legible; and
Bidder’s certifications, as provided by Bidder in Bidder’s submitted Exhibit A – Bidder’s Certification, constitute a responsive bid.
REVIEW MINIMUM REQUIRED PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS (STEP 1B). Enterprise Services will review each bid to determine whether Bidder’s Goods/Services and/or Bidder’s performance capability meets the minimum required specifications and/or performance requirements stated in Exhibit B – Contract.
Note: Enterprise Services reserves the right to request additional Bidder information or perform tests and measurements before selecting Apparent Successful Bidders. If Bidder fails to provide such requested information to Enterprise Services within five (5) business days, Bidder may be disqualified.
4.3. BID EVALUATION – SCORED FACTORS. Enterprise Services will evaluate and score responsive bids as specified below and as set forth in the referenced exhibits. Note: It is imperative that Bidder’s Required Bid Submittals comply with the instructions set forth in the exhibits.
COST FACTORS – BID PRICING (STEP 2A). Enterprise Services will evaluate and score
Bidder’s cost factors, as provided by Bidder in Bidder’s Exhibit C – Bid Price, as follows:
The bid with the lowest total evaluation price will receive 1000 points.
Bids with a higher evaluation price will receive proportionately fewer evaluation points based upon the bid with the lowest total evaluation price, using the following formula:
Lowest total bid evaluation price divided by a higher total bid evaluation price (i.e., the bid that is being evaluated) multiplied by the total number of available points equals the cost factor evaluation points. Points will be rounded to three places to the right of the decimal point using standard rounding method.
Sample Calculation:
Using Bidder A = $100,000 (lowest total evaluation price) and Bidder B = $110,000 Bid B calculation: $100,000 (Bidder A, lowest total evaluation price) / $110,000 (Bidder B’s evaluation price) = 0.909 x 1000 (maximum points available) = 909.09.
Bidder A is the bid with the lowest total bid evaluation price, so it would be assigned the maximum available points, 1000 points.
Bidder B would be assigned 909.09 points based on the formula above.
DRAFT D
o N
COMPETITIVE SOLICITATION NO. 02326 – OFFICE RELOCATION SERVICES PAGE 12
NON-COST FACTORS (STEP 2B) (PASS/FAIL). Enterprise Services will evaluate the specified non-cost factors stated in Exhibit D – Non-Cost Factors by evaluating Bidder’s response – i.e., Bidder’s Goods/Services and/or Bidder’s performance capability that exceeds the stated minimum required performance specifications.
Note: Enterprise Services reserves the right to request additional Bidder information or perform tests and measurements before selecting Apparent Successful Bidder(s). If Bidder fails to provide such requested information to Enterprise Services within five (5) business days, Bidder may be disqualified.
4.4. WASHINGTON STATE PROCUREMENT PRIORITIES & PREFERENCES (STEP 3). This Competitive Solicitation is subject to the Washington state procurement priorities and/or preferences stated below (collectively, “Washington Procurement Priorities for Goods/Services Contracts”). Accordingly, Enterprise Services will evaluate Bidder’s bid to determine (a) whether Bidder is requesting to be considered for such Washington Procurement Priorities for Goods/Services Contracts; and
(b) whether Bidder’s bid qualifies for such Washington Procurement Priorities for Goods/Services Contracts. Enterprise Services will score qualifying bids and adjust Bidder’s total evaluation score accordingly.
PROCUREMENT PREFERENCE FOR BIDDER COMPLIANCE WITH EXECUTIVE ORDER 18-03.
Enterprise Services will provide a bid preference in the amount of 50 points to Bidders who certify, pursuant to Exhibit A – Bidder’s Certification, that Bidder complies with Executive Order 18-03.
4.5. RESPONSIBLE BIDDER DETERMINATION (STEP 4). The Washington State Legislature requires that Washington state agencies award contracts for goods/services only to ‘responsible bidders.’ See RCW 39.26.160(2). Accordingly, to be eligible to be considered for a Contract award resulting from this Competitive Solicitation, Enterprise Services must determine that Bidder is a ‘responsible bidder.’ Accordingly, Enterprise Services will make reasonable inquiry to determine bidder responsibility on a pass/fail basis. In determining bidder responsibility, Enterprise Services will consider the following:
Bidder’s certifications as provided in Bidder’s Exhibit A – Bidder’s Certification;
Bidder’s ability, capacity, and skill to perform the Contract or provide the Goods/Services;
Bidder’s character, integrity, reputation, judgment, experience, and efficiency;
Bidder’s ability to perform the Contract within the time specified;
Bidder’s performance quality pertaining to previous contracts or services;
Bidder’s compliance with laws relating to the Contract or services;
Whether, within the three-year period immediately preceding the date of the
Competitive Solicitation, Bidder has been determined by a final and binding citation and notice of assessment issued by the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries or through a civil judgment entered by a court of limited or general jurisdiction to have willfully violated, as defined in RCW 49.48.082, any provision of chapter 49.46, 49.48, or 49.52 RCW; and
Such other information as may be secured having a bearing on the decision to award a Contract.

o N ot https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=39.26.160
COMPETITIVE SOLICITATION NO. 02326 – OFFICE RELOCATION SERVICES PAGE 13
In addition, Enterprise Services may consider the following:
Financial Information: Enterprise Services may request Bidder financial statements, credit ratings, or other financial information necessary to determine Bidder’s capacity to perform and the enforceability of Bidder’s contractual commitments.
References: Enterprise Services reserves the right to request and/or use references regarding Bidder to confirm satisfactory customer service, performance, satisfaction with service/product, knowledge of products/service/industry, and timeliness.
Enterprise Services reserves the right to request bidder responsibility information from Bidder. If Bidder fails to provide such information to Enterprise Services within five (5) business days, Bidder may be disqualified.
4.6. ANNOUNCEMENT OF APPARENT SUCCESSFUL BIDDERS (STEP 5). Enterprise Services will determine and announce the Apparent Successful Bidders (“ASBs”). The ASBs will be the responsive and responsible Bidders who best meet the Competitive Solicitation requirements and present the best total value based on the evaluation criteria stated above.
ASB designation does not imply that Enterprise Services will issue a Contract award. Rather, ASB designation allows Enterprise Services to perform further analysis and request additional documentation. Bidders must not construe ASB designation as an award or impending award. If a Bidder acts or fails to act as a result of ASB designation, Bidder does so at its own risk and expense.
Upon Enterprise Services’ announcement of ASBs, Bidders may request a debrief conference as stated in the Contracting Guide.
4.7. BID INFORMATION AVAILABILITY (STEP 6). Upon Enterprise Services’ announcement of ASBs:
All bid submissions and all bid evaluations are subject to public disclosure pursuant to Washington’s Public Records Act. See RCW 39.26.030(2).
