Re: Request for Approval of a Moving Services Contract Not to Exceed $39,547.50
Over the last few months, as we began to plan in earnest the renovation of the Public Health Building it
became apparent that operating in the building while under construction would not be tenable due to
COVID-19.
To that end, in consultation with the Office of Economic Development, the Administrative Services
Division through the Risk Management and Purchasing departments, drafted and released RFP #0634-
070620 seeking proposal for professional moving services. After a site visit by 6 potential responders, we
ultimately received 5 proposals.
The Risk Management Office, Building Maintenance, Public Health Office met to discuss the proposals
and upon consultation with the city’s Procurement Office and upon careful evaluation, reference check
and consideration Sterling Corporation was deemed the most qualified responsible bidder. They were the
lowest bidder and can perform the services as desired.
The enclosed contract is the city’s standard professional services contract with a scope and fee attached.
Please approve and award the enclosed contract to Sterling Corporation for a not to exceed amount of
$39,547.50.
