Resident Personal Laundry and Facility Linen Services

Dane County, Wisconsin is seeking a contractor to provide comprehensive resident personal laundry and facility linen services for the Badger Prairie Health Care Center through Request for Proposal #2024-RFP-084-PR. The procurement involves laundering clothing for residents and facility linens, with two service delivery options: Option 1 involves delivering clean linens to the facility's clean linen room, while Option 2 includes sorting and delivering stocked linen carts directly to neighborhood/household areas. The contract will span five terms from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2029, with proposals due electronically on November 5, 2024 at 2:00 pm. Vendors must provide "A" stock quality linens, replace worn items at their own expense, and meet strict infection control and sanitation requirements. The evaluation process will assess vendor qualifications, mandatory requirements, service capabilities, linen specifications, and cost, with a total of 105 possible points, of which 55 points are allocated to pricing. The deadline for submitting questions is October 23, 2024, and all responses must be submitted through the county's eProcurement Portal.

The RFP does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The solicitation is for a 120-bed skilled nursing facility where most residents have their clothing laundered under a contract arrangement. The pricing structure is based on a per-pound cost for clean laundry and linen, with detailed specifications for over 19 different types of linen items and estimated weekly usage quantities. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the services and the multi-year contract duration suggest a significant potential contract value. The procurement appears to be open to qualified vendors who can meet the extensive technical specifications, demonstrate robust laundry service capabilities, and provide competitive pricing. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing technological infrastructure that would require integration.
