Mount Pleasant Redevelopment – Phase I Relocation

New Britain Housing Authority

New Britain, Connecticut

I. INTRODUCTION

Censere Consulting LLC (“Censere”), on behalf of the Housing Authority of the City of

New Britain (“NBHA”), is soliciting proposals from qualified and experienced moving

companies to provide residential relocation and moving services associated with Phase

I relocation activities for the Mount Pleasant Redevelopment Project located in New

Britain, Connecticut.

The Mount Pleasant Redevelopment Project is a multi-phase redevelopment initiative

being undertaken through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development

(“HUD”) Rental Assistance Demonstration (“RAD”) program and related financing

sources. As part of Phase I redevelopment activities, approximately thirty-four (34)

occupied public housing households will require temporary relocation to other housing

units.

Censere is seeking qualified contractors capable of coordinating and completing

residential moves in a professional, efficient, resident-sensitive, and timely manner

while maintaining compliance with all applicable HUD, state, and local requirements.

II. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The selected contractor(s) will provide comprehensive residential moving services for

families residing within the Phase I redevelopment area of Mount Pleasant. Relocations

are anticipated to occur between July 2026 and September 2026.

NBHA anticipates relocating a minimum of two (2) families per day; however, the

selected contractor(s) must demonstrate the operational capacity to complete additional

moves per day if necessary to maintain the overall redevelopment schedule.

Households anticipated to be relocated include residents occupying:

• Two-Bedroom Units

• Three-Bedroom Units

• Four-Bedroom Units

Please note that all existing and replacement units are townhouse-style units. Living

areas are generally located on the first floor, while bedrooms are located on the second

floor. Respondents should consider the movement of furniture and household

belongings between floors when preparing their proposals.

All moves are expected to occur within the City of New Britain unless otherwise directed

by NBHA or Censere.

• Compliance with all applicable safety and insurance requirements.

The selected contractor(s) shall conduct all work in a manner that minimizes disruption

to residents and protects resident property throughout the relocation process.

Please note that certain households may include elderly residents or residents with

disabilities who may require full packing assistance by the selected contractor(s). In

such cases, the contractor(s) may be required to pack the resident’s unit and

belongings at an additional charge. The selected contractor(s) will be notified in

advance of any such special accommodation or service needs.

Storage Services
