Rainier RHC Washers/Extractors

The state of Washington's Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) is seeking quotes for the purchase of washer/extractors for the Rainier Residential Habilitation Center (RHC) located in Pierce County. The procurement includes the demolition and removal of the existing equipment, which will be performed by facility staff, and the installation of the new Braun brand washer/extractors. The successful vendor will be responsible for providing the final equipment layout, controls/electronic interconnect drawings, utility schedules, supervised installation, start-up, and training of facility personnel. Bidders must attend a mandatory site visit on August 28, 2024 and submit quotes electronically by September 23, 2024. DSHS will evaluate bids and announce the Apparent Successful Bidder on September 30, 2024, with a contract award anticipated between October 7 and October 31, 2024. The maximum budgeted amount for this solicitation is $500,000, excluding sales tax.

The solicitation requires the use of Braun brand equipment due to compatibility with existing on-site equipment and to limit staff training to a single manufacturer. No minimum level of minority or women-owned business participation is required, but bidders must submit a Contractor Inclusion Plan describing their efforts to include diverse small businesses. DSHS will apply Washington State procurement preferences, including those for small and veteran-owned businesses, in evaluating bids. No incumbent vendor information is provided.
