R.F.P. - Sale of Filed Municipal Tax Liens - Mobile Homes Only

The solicitation for the sale of filed municipal tax liens on mobile homes in East Hartford, Connecticut, under Bid No. 26-23, is a competitive bidding process governed by Connecticut General Statutes § 12-195h and administered by the Town of East Hartford through DAS Procurement. Bids must be submitted as sealed physical packages by 11:00 A.M. on Wednesday, May 27, 2026, to the designated address, with no electronic submissions accepted under any circumstance. The solicitation requires comprehensive documentation including a transmittal letter, completed bid form, disclosure of all principals, corporate resolution for business entities, a 20% bid deposit, and mandatory certifications under state law addressing criminal proceedings, litigation history, ownership interests, ethical violations, and intended use of the property. Bidders must be in good standing with the Connecticut Secretary of State, free of delinquent taxes, and must certify compliance with occupational safety laws. The award will be granted to the highest responsible bid, with evaluation extending beyond price to include statutory compliance, risk assessment of title clarity and lien enforceability, and alignment with the Town’s objectives such as property maintenance and development potential. The purchaser assumes full legal responsibility for lien enforcement, is prohibited from initiating foreclosure within one year, cannot assign the lien without written consent, and must indemnify the Town against all claims arising from the lien’s collection. Attorney’s fees must comply with statutory limits, and detailed reporting to the tax collector is required. All property details—including addresses, lien values, and associated names—are listed as standalone line items with consistent quantities of 24, suggesting a standardized bid structure across multiple properties, though no formal period of performance or delivery schedule is defined. The Town reserves the right to reject any or all bids at its sole discretion based on responsibility, compliance, or perceived risk, and no federal contract clauses, solicitation amendments, or electronic invoicing systems such as WAWF or IPP apply.
