Moving Services

The Superior Court of California, County of Alameda, is issuing a Request for Proposals to procure professional moving services for nine court facilities and the Alameda County Property and Salvage Warehouse. The services encompass comprehensive moving operations including labor, supervision, packing, transportation, unpacking, special handling, furniture relocation, and disposal services across multiple locations including courthouses in Alameda, Berkeley, Dublin, Fremont, Hayward, and Oakland. Qualified contractors must demonstrate extensive experience and strong organizational capabilities, with services scheduled on a monthly basis with Friday moves on an as-needed basis and flexibility for urgent requests requiring 24-hour advance notice. The solicitation process includes a pre-proposal conference on May 14, 2026, with questions due by May 18, 2026, and answers posted by May 26, 2026; proposals must be submitted by June 4, 2026, at 2:00 PM Pacific Time. Evaluation of proposals will occur between June 5 and July 9, 2026, with a Notice of Intent to Award anticipated on July 14, 2026, and contract commencement on September 1, 2026. The evaluation criteria are weighted across a 100-point scale: experience and qualifications (25 points), quality of references (10 points), customer service and timeline (15 points), cost/pricing (40 points), acceptance of terms and conditions (10 points), and disabled veteran business enterprise eligibility (5 points). Contractors must comply with California prevailing wage requirements under Labor Code sections 1770 et seq., register with the Department of Industrial Relations, and provide certified payroll records.

The contract includes a disabled veteran business enterprise incentive eligibility component as part of the evaluation criteria. Contractors must accept the Court's standard Terms and Conditions or provide written justification for any exceptions, with material exceptions to minimum terms rendering proposals non-responsive. All bidders must complete general certifications, Darfur Contracting Act certification, payee data forms, civil rights certifications, and submit references, business credentials, and proof of good standing. The contract term runs from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027, with four optional renewal terms extending through August 31, 2031. The Court will process invoices within 45 days of receipt and approval, with payment made by the State of California on a completion-of-work basis. No specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the solicitation documents; however, the significant scope of services across ten facilities with ongoing monthly scheduling suggests a substantial contract value over the multi-year performance period.
