BHRC Laundry Equipment Leasing

Multnomah County is seeking a supplier for the BHRC Laundry Equipment Leasing project through a Request for Intermediate Bids (RIB-149-2022). The procurement involves providing and installing leased laundry equipment for the Behavioral Health Resource Center, specifically requiring 5 stacked washer/dryers (front loaders), 2 standalone front loader washers, and 2 standalone front loader dryers to support Day Center, Shelter, and Transitional Housing programs. The solicitation was opened on 4/20/2022 at 8:00 AM PDT and will close on 6/24/2022 at 4:00 PM PDT, with bids to be submitted electronically through the sourcing event platform. Contractors must upload all required documentation to the "Supplier Attachments" tab and provide firm pricing for the first 12 months, with potential price adjustments in subsequent years subject to mutual agreement. The contract term will not exceed five years, and the county reserves the right to award to one or more suppliers based on their best interests. Evaluation will likely consider pricing, equipment specifications, installation capabilities, and the contractor's ability to meet the county's responsible business practice requirements.
