Request for Bid: Professional Moving Services

The Seda-Cog Housing Development Corporation (HDC) needs professional moving services and rental of site storage containers to accommodate the renovation of two Elderly Apartment Buildings located at 441 South High Street (High Street Manor) and 342 South Market Street (Market Street Manor) Selinsgrove, Pa. Both properties are three-story elevator buildings and are contiguous to each other.

Bidders can provide both moving and rental of storage containers or just moving services or rental of storage containers.

The renovation work will begin in June 2025 and will continue over a 14-to-16-month period while the buildings remain occupied. Current tenants will stay in their individual units while work is not being performed in their unit. When it is time for residents’ units to be renovated the occupants of the unit will be temporarily relocated to a vacant unit within one of the two buildings.  When the renovation work is completed in the unit, the tenant will be able to return to the original unit. Anywhere from 2-6 tenants will be temporarily relocated at any given time during construction depending on the contractor’s schedule and availability of vacant units used for temporary relocation.

Each apartment is approximately 600 sq.ft., comprising of a small kitchen/eating area, living room, one bedroom and three closets. Property management will coordinate with the tenant to have personal belongings i.e. figurines, pictures, dishware, eating utensils, and clothing stored in closets, to be placed in boxes. Boxes shall be supplied by the moving company two weeks prior to moving date.

When the tenant is relocated to a vacant unit by the moving company, all the tenant’s personal property, i.e., packed boxes, furniture etc., shall be relocated to the temporary apartment. The typical furnishings that are expected to be moved are a small kitchen table and chairs, sofa, several upholstery chairs, several side stands and bedroom furniture (dressers and bed). The mover will be responsible to disassemble and reassemble the bed.

Upon completing the tenant’s renovated original apartment (4- 6 weeks from the original relocation) the moving company will provide the same services as described above, to move the tenant back into their original unit. Depending on the number of vacant apartments that will become available throughout the renovation period from actual residents moving out to other housing options (i.e nursing care facilities, moving into a family members home) it is anticipated that 2-6 tenants will be relocated every four to six weeks and then the tenants that were previously temporarily relocated will be moved back into their original apartments.

In addition to moving the tenant’s personal property it will be required to have the moving company to temporarily relocate the common area furniture to storage pods that will be located on site. When the project is completed, it is expected that the common area furnishing will be moved back into the buildings.
