The Boston Public Health Commission (BPHC) mission statement is to work in partnership with communities to protect and promote the health and well-being of all Boston residents, especially those impacted by racism and systemic inequities. Prior to the closure of Long Island Bridge in October of 2014, the Homeless Services Bureau (HSB) operated a large-scale laundry service, serving multiple shelters, recovery, and residential programs Commission-wide. The HSB has a strong interest in reopening the laundry service to regain autonomy over its laundry needs, increase our vocational and workforce development programs, and operate at the same or reduced cost. Scope of Work HSB is seeking proposals from qualified individuals or businesses to assess, evaluate, conduct a feasibility assessment, and create an implementation plan for a relaunch of laundry facility. It would be necessary to evaluate the space to assess the capacity for commercial grade washers and dryers to accommodate a weekly volume of between 3,000 and 3,600 pounds of laundry. The assessment would also include evaluation of the site's development and pinpoint any gaps or requirements for the launch of laundry operations, including but not limited to staffing patterns, mechanical infrastructure, and physical plant infrastructure. The space identified is located at Woods Mullen Shelter, 794 Massachusetts, Boston MA 02118 which formerly served as a laundry facility in 2017.
