The City of Sacramento, Department of Community Response is soliciting proposals to: participate in the City of Sacramento’s Emergency Stabilization for Families Program by accepting City of Sacramento issued vouchers for motel/hotel room payment for emergency sheltering in conjunction with City-provided supportive services and rehousing services. The City will be providing motel/hotel vouchers to families experiencing homelessness. The City is looking for motels or hotels willing to accept these vouchers, which will be worth $55 per night inclusive of all taxes and fees. Motels or hotels participating in the City’s program will invoice the City on a monthly basis. In response to the Request for Proposals, the City anticipates receiving competitive pricing as well as an assurance of quality services. Motels responding to this RFP must submit their proposed nightly room rate. Proposals meeting the minimum requirements, submitted at $55.00 per room per night, with a minimum score of 28 out of 35 possible points for motel/hotel property information and amenities, and with a minimum score of 12 out of 15 possible points for proximity to vital services will be automatically accepted. Proposals with rates higher than $55.00 per room per night will still be considered, however, the guest/program participant will be responsible for paying the difference directly to the motel. The motel owner shall be responsible for collecting the additional amount from the guest at the time of check-in or as otherwise agreed upon between the motel and the guest. Each proposal must be a hotel/motel located within the City of Sacramento. The City may add subsequent contracts at a later date as necessary to meet the City’s needs.
