RFP: Invitation to Bid Furniture, Fixtures, and Document Moving Project

The Town of Lebanon, Connecticut is seeking a qualified vendor to execute a Furniture, Fixtures, and Document Moving Project through a Request for Proposal (RFP) solicitation numbered 21244. The primary objective is to facilitate the packing, moving, and repositioning of furniture, fixtures, and documents from the second floor of the Lebanon Town Hall to accommodate an upcoming flooring removal and replacement project. A critical component of this project involves the secure, chain-of-custody transfer of sensitive legal documents between the Town Clerk's second-floor vault and a first-floor vault, which must be performed under direct supervision of the Town Clerk. Vendors must demonstrate prior experience in moving sensitive documents and will be required to complete a detailed questionnaire about their moving capabilities. The solicitation period runs from March 1, 2024, at 12:00 PM EST to March 28, 2024, at 11:00 AM EDT, with deliverables including comprehensive packing, careful transportation, and precise repositioning of all items after the flooring project's completion. The RFP specifies Free On Board Destination delivery terms and allows vendors to propose their own payment terms.

The solicitation appears to be open to all vendors without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged businesses or specific enterprise types. No incumbent vendors are mentioned in the documentation, and there are no explicit restrictions on the types of organizations that can submit a proposal. The RFP does not provide a specific budget range or total estimated value for the project, though it indicates an estimated total value exists without disclosing the precise amount. The procurement documents include three key supporting documents: a main bid package, instructions to bidders, and an addendum. Interested vendors can direct questions to Kevin Cwikla, the First Selectman, at the contact information provided in the solicitation. The project requires a comprehensive approach to document and furniture moving, with a strong emphasis on maintaining the integrity and security of sensitive legal documents throughout the relocation process.
