The document is an Invitation for Bid (IFB) issued by the Washington State Department of Enterprise Services for establishing a statewide master contract for intrastate relocation services for household goods. The purpose of the IFB is to replace an existing contract and is scheduled to commence on March 1, 2014. Bidders must be registered with the Washington State Utilities and Transportation Commission to provide transportation of household goods. The state has been segmented into six service regions, and bid pricing is based on a percent discount off the maximum band rate for the WUTC Intrastate Household Goods Tariff. The document outlines the bidding process, contract terms, estimated usage, and the availability of the contract to various entities. The initial contract term is two years with the option to extend, and the total contract term will not exceed six years unless special circumstances require an extension. The document also provides information on complaint, debrief, and protest procedures, as well as details on bid preparation, evaluation, and award processes.
