2071-23 Supplemental Vacancy Prep

The Housing Authority of the City of Hartford has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Solicitation Number 16201 (2071-23 Supplemental Vacancy Prep), seeking to contract with multiple vendors to provide Vacant Apartment Preparation services on an "on-call, delivery order basis" within Hartford County, Connecticut. The procurement allows for multiple awards, with the Authority reserving the right to make partial or full service awards to selected vendors. The solicitation period runs from June 21, 2023, to July 20, 2023, with a designated vendor Q&A period from June 21, 2023, at 7:15 AM EDT through July 12, 2023, at 5:00 PM EDT. Proposals are due by July 20, 2023, at 2:00 PM EDT, and will be submitted to Kim Cotharin at the Hartford Housing Authority, located at 180 John D. Wardlaw Way, Hartford, CT. The delivery terms are specified as Free On Board Destination, with payment terms to be vendor-specified. Vendors are expected to provide comprehensive vacant apartment preparation services, though specific detailed requirements are not explicitly outlined in the available documentation.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation were identified in the RFP documents. The solicitation appears open to all vendors without explicit preferences for disadvantaged enterprises or small businesses. No incumbent vendors or current contractors were mentioned in the documentation. The RFP does not provide an estimated total contract value, budget range, or specific line-item pricing details. The contract appears structured as a flexible, on-call service arrangement where vendors will be selected to provide vacant apartment preparation services as needed by the Housing Authority. While multiple awards are anticipated, the exact number of contractors to be selected is not specified. The procurement seems designed to establish a pool of qualified vendors who can respond quickly and efficiently to the Housing Authority's apartment preparation needs, with the flexibility to make partial or full service awards based on the Authority's assessment of vendor capabilities and proposals.
