BACKGROUND / JUSTIFICATION

 

The DWSD Public Relations Department is taken upon the task of providing basement cleaning and sanitizing services to DWSD residential customers for emergencies caused directly by the water and sewer systems, or on a case-by-case basis for incidents of damage to a DWSD asset.  The emergency basement cleaning contract will provide on-call emergency cleaning, sanitizing and related services, as well as HVAC replacement or repairs for impacted equipment. This contract is intended for occupied homes damaged by flooding that results in an urgent health and safety need.  The intent is to make the living conditions safe, and not to restore damaged property.

 

During the Summer 2021, rain events, Randcom was one of several firms that provided basement cleaning and sanitizing services for the most vulnerable households.  Randcom, Inc. is bonded and licensed to provide basement cleaning and sanitizing, and its HVAC subcontractor, Young HVAC, is also licensed and bonded. 

 

 

PROCUREMENT METHOD

 

This contract was initiated through requisition #492985 which was approved by Budget on 12/1/21 and procured through a Request for Bids (RFB) and was advertised on the Michigan Inter-Governmental Trade Network (MITN) for 21 calendar days.  MITN published the opportunity to 291 companies subscribing to the relevant NIGP code(s).  The RFB was downloaded by 24 firms and five bids were received.
