Laundry Equipment and Maintenance of Laundry Facility Services

A. INTRODUCTION

1) General: The Seattle Housing Authority (SHA) is seeking a qualified professional firm

to provide laundry machine services, that include, but not limited to, installation,

maintenance, and removal of the washing machines and dryers. The washing

machines and dryers shall be efficient, reliable, water- and energy-saving, with

primarily coin-payment and/or, as specified herein, coinless payment, within the

properties listed in Exhibit 1 – List of Properties.

2) Seattle Housing Authority Background: SHA is an independent public corporation

providing long-term, low-income rental housing and rental assistance to more than

38,000 people in the city of Seattle. We believe in providing more than housing for our

tenants, and we partner with many organizations to offer an array of services and

community activities to help those we serve improve their lives. The majority of SHA's

funding is federal, through the U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development

(HUD). Other income includes rent revenue and non-HUD public and private grants.

SHA operates according to the following Mission and Values:

Our Mission

The mission of the Seattle Housing Authority is to enhance the Seattle community

by creating and sustaining decent, safe and affordable living environments that

foster stability and increase self-sufficiency for people with low incomes.

Our Values

As stewards of the public trust, we pursue our mission and responsibilities in a

spirit of service, teamwork, and respect. We embrace the values of excellence,

collaboration, innovation, and appreciation.

SHA owns and operates more than 8,500 housing units at nearly 400 sites throughout

the city. SHA also administers approximately 12,000 Housing Choice Vouchers,

enabling low-income residents to receive rental assistance throughout the Seattle

housing market. SHA, an independent public corporation established in 1939, is

governed by a seven-member Board of Commissioners, two of whom are SHA

residents. Commissioners are appointed by the Mayor and confirmed by the City

Council. More information is available at seattlehousing.org.

5) Cooperative Purchasing: RCW 39.34 allows cooperative purchasing between

public agencies (political subdivisions) in the State of Washington. Public agencies

that file an Interlocal Joint Purchasing Agreement with SHA may also wish to procure

the services herein offered by the successful party. The successful party shall have

the option of extending its offer to SHA to other agencies for the same cost, terms and

conditions.

SHA does not accept any responsibility for agreements, contracts or purchase orders

issued by other public agencies to the successful party. Each public agency accepts

responsibility for compliance with any additional or varying laws and regulations

governing purchase by or on behalf of the public agency. SHA accepts no

responsibility for the performance of the successful party in providing services to other

public agencies, nor any responsibility for the payment price to the successful party

for other public-agency purchases.

Pre-Submittal Meeting: Proposers are strongly encouraged to attend a Pre-

Submittal Meeting at the date and time indicated above.

Submittal: The deadlines given above are firm as to place, date, and time. SHA will

not consider any proposal received after the deadline.

All proposals should be clearly marked when e-mailed to avoid any confusion about

recording arrival dates and times. Proposers should take this practice into account

and submit their materials early to avoid any risk of ineligibility caused by

unanticipated delays or other delivery problems. NOTE: A faxed or hand delivered

proposal is not acceptable.

All proposals received will become the property of the Seattle Housing Authority and

will not be returned to the Proposer.

Proposals should be limited to a maximum of ten (10) pages. The following are NOT

INCLUDED in the page limit mentioned above: your cover letter, vendor fact sheet,

resumes, the Suspension and Debarment Certificate, and any applicable Section 3

form(s). Your cover letter should express your interest in performing the work. A

principal or officer of the firm authorized to execute contracts or other similar

documents on the firm’s behalf must sign the letter.

1) Required number of copies: Proposers responding to this RFP shall submit their

proposal to the e-mail address indicated above. The following items/forms are

to be submitted as a separate file and not included in your Proposal. Do not

include these items/forms in the proposal.

• Price / Rates

• Vendor Fact Sheet

• Suspension and Debarment Compliance Certificate

• Any applicable Section 3 Form(s)

2) Proprietary Proposal Material:

Any records or materials submitted to SHA in response to this RFP become public

records under Washington State law (see RCW Chapter 42.56, the Public

Disclosure Act, at https://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=42.56). Public

records must be promptly disclosed upon request unless a statute exempts

disclosure. Exemptions from disclosure include trade secrets and valuable

formulas (see RCW 42.56 and RCW Ch. 19.108); however, public disclosure

exemptions are narrow and specific. Proposers are expected to be familiar with

any potentially-applicable exemptions, and the limits of those exemptions.

Proposers are obligated to separately bind and clearly mark as “proprietary”

information any proposal records they believe are exempted from disclosure. The

body of the proposal may refer to these separately-bound records. Proposers

should mark as “proprietary” only that information they believe legitimately fits

within a public-disclosure exemption. SHA may reject solicitation responses that

are marked proprietary in their entirety.

If SHA receives a public disclosure request for records that a Proposer has marked

as “proprietary information,” SHA may notify the Proposer of this request and
