1985-21 On Call Residential Moving Company

The Housing Authority of the City of Hartford has issued an Invitation for Bids (IFB) for solicitation #3378, seeking qualified moving companies to provide on-call residential moving services in Hartford County, Connecticut. The procurement is designed to establish a contract with licensed, insured, and bonded moving companies that can provide comprehensive relocation services on an as-needed basis. Contractors must be prepared to supply all necessary supervision, employees, materials, tools, equipment, and vehicles for moving and relocation services. The specific qualifications require moving companies to have appropriate permits and the capability to handle residential moving assignments as they arise. The solicitation was posted on August 17, 2021, with a bid submission deadline of September 9, 2021 at 2:00 PM EDT. Interested vendors should submit their bids to Kim Cotharin at the Hartford Housing Authority, with communication possible via email at bids@hartfordhousing.org or by phone at 860-723-8435. The delivery terms are specified as Free On Board Destination, with payment terms to be determined by the vendor.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation were explicitly outlined in the solicitation documents. The procurement appears to be open to all qualified moving companies that can meet the licensing, insurance, and bonding requirements. No incumbent vendors were identified, and no information was provided about existing infrastructure or technology integration requirements. The solicitation did not specify an estimated total contract value, budget range, or maximum funding allocation for these on-call moving services. The contract will be awarded to one or more qualified contractors based on the Authority's evaluation of the submitted bids, with the expectation that the selected vendor(s) will provide moving services on an as-needed basis for the Housing Authority. The lack of specific line items or predefined quantities suggests flexibility in the contract's potential scope and implementation.
