The Cambridge Housing Authority invites sealed proposals for Moving Services associated with

the Modernization of Various Sites in Cambridge, Massachusetts, or sites where CHA is providing

consulting services currently undergoing renovations and/or

new construction, in accordance with documents prepared by the Cambridge Housing Authority and in

accordance with MGL Chapter 30B. The sites could be in Cambridge or in the greater Boston area

(i.e. within 35 miles). Award of contract will be made to up to four (4) responsible and responsive

vendor(s) who offer the best price based on the unit prices identified in their bid.

Following the receipt of bids, as allowed under provision of MGL Chapter 30 B, CHA will negotiate

with the responsive and responsible bidders offering the lowest price, on final prices, and make a

recommendation to the Board of Commissioners to award contract(s). CHA expects that there will be a

total of approximately 600-700 moves over a three-year period. The maximum upset value of any

resultant lump-sum contract will be $750,000 per contract.

Residents required to be relocated may be moved to: 1) other dwelling units within the same housing

development, 2) another Housing Authority development, 3) a scattered site home that is located

within the Cambridge city limits or surrounding communities, or 4) a non-housing authority

(privately owned) property located within the city limits or surrounding communities. The

successful contractor will be required to provide the following services: Moving of resident(s)

furniture and personal belongings.

Bidders should also include unit prices for offsite storage, packing services (as described in

project documents) and packing materials. Although pricing for these services will not be used in

the calculation to determine Low bidder(s) (with the exception of the Four (4) hour base rate for

packing services to be provided to Elderly/Disabled households), each item will be considered as

part of the selection process to determining a firm’s overall qualifications.
