Laundry Station install

Mt. Hood Community College (MHCC) in Portland, Oregon is issuing a Request for Bids (RFB #04132026) for the provision and installation of a closet laundry station at 11456 NE Knott Street. The project requires one Oregon State certified, licensed, and bonded contractor in good standing with the Construction Contractors Board (CCB) to convert an existing single stall water closet into a functional laundry station. The scope of work includes removing the existing toilet, routing electrical service and water connections, creating an exterior dryer exhaust vent, and installing a residential-style stackable washer and dryer unit. Bidders must submit a lump sum fee proposal accompanied by a one-page cover letter detailing company qualifications, three references for similar work, washer and dryer specifications with warranty details, and a description of installation warranty. Evaluation will be based on price, warranty, and references, with MHCC determining the most responsible bidder. A mandatory bidders' meeting is scheduled for April 22, 2026, at 9:00 AM at the project site, and completed bids must be submitted to Mejdi Mahjoub at Mejdi.mahjoub@mhcc.edu no later than 2:30 PM on April 29, 2026, with project completion required before June 15, 2026.

No set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise restrictions are specified in the procurement documents. Contractors must maintain commercial general liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence, automobile liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence, and workers' compensation coverage as required by law. The contractor assumes responsibility for all permitting, code compliance, hazardous material testing and sequestering, and ensuring the equipment maintains serviceability and warranty coverage. The project is driven by MHCC's long-standing Head Start program, which operates at the leased Knott Creek Elementary School location and requires on-site laundry facilities for the regular laundering of clothing, bedding, and fabric materials essential to program operations. The project is subject to Davis Bacon wage requirements. No specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the available procurement documents.
