Small Works Roster
Capitol Hill Housing does not maintain its own Small Works Roster. We use the Shared Procurement Portal sponsored by http://www.ecitygov.net to maintain a roster instead.
Public agencies in Washington State have partnered to create a regional website ( www.sharedprocurementportal.com ) that consolidates procurement services to make it easy for government and businesses to work together.
You can register your company for the Small Works Roster online at www.sharedprocurementportal.com/roster .
Informal Solicitations
For most purchases under $50,000 we will solicit verbal or written quotations (depending on scope and estimated cost of work) from vendors and contractors listed on the Shared Procurement Portal.
Formal Solicitations
An Invitation for Bids (IFB) or a Request for Proposals (RFP) is used for purchases of goods and services estimated at $50,000 or more. As a general rule, an IFB is used for construction projects estimated at $50,000 or more. All formal competitive solicitations are advertised in the Seattle Daily Journal of Commerce.
Sealed bids/proposals must be received and time stamped by CHH prior to the submittal deadline. All late bids/proposals are returned to the vendor/offeror without being opened. Public bid openings are held at CHH's Office at the specific time and date stated in the IFB. During the bid opening, only the name of the vendor and total amount is read aloud. Vendors are welcome to attend the bid openings.
