Middletown Housing Authority SPS 2026-6 Marshal Services

The Middletown Housing Authority is soliciting proposals for marshal services under Small Purchase Solicitation 2026-6, with proposals due September 24, 2026 at 2:00 p.m., and expects to make award during the week of September 28. The Authority reserves the right to make one or multiple awards or partial award, whichever serves its best interest.

Services encompass legal document service related primarily to summary process actions and evictions on an "as needed, when needed" basis. The scope includes service of Notice to Quit (approximately 60–80 monthly), Writs and Summons (0–6 annually), Summary Process Executions (4–8 annually), eviction actions (4–8 annually), eviction cancellations (2–4 annually), and coordination of moving services through registered Connecticut providers. All contractors must hold Connecticut State Marshal certification.

The initial contract term is three years with all pricing firm over that period. The Authority retains an option to extend for two additional one-year terms at the contractor's initial bid prices. Respondents must submit fixed fees per household for seven service categories; cost-plus pricing, subcontractor administrative markups, travel costs, and mileage reimbursement are prohibited. Contractors must absorb all expenses not specifically itemized in the bid. No bonds are required. Funding is contingent on continued federal HUD appropriations; the Authority may cancel the contract with payment only for services rendered through the termination date.

Evaluation allocates 40 points to general background and experience, 40 points to technical response quality, and 20 points to fee competitiveness. Written questions are due September 10, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. No estimated contract value is stated. The Authority contact is Ben Bare, 860-781-4114, ben@middletownha.org.
