THIS IS A COMPETITION IMPRACTICABLE PROCUREMENT BECAUSE (attach additional page if needed): 
Safe shelter options that are in close proximity to homeless services are limited and many are not willing to 
provide shelter to homeless individuals. Sikotar, LLC is familiar with the population to be sheltered in the 
Hotel as they have previously contracted with the County to utilize hotel rooms to house homeless 
individuals for COVID isolation.  The hotel owners and staff have previous experience and training provided 
by homeless service professionals on how to work with and house people who were previously unsheltered 
in a compassionate manor. 
 
The Valley Inn proximity to the Human Service Campus makes it ideal for this use.  Guests that will be 
temporarily staying at the hotel will not have vehicles - it is essential that they are within a relatively short 
distance from the services received at the state's largest campus for people experiencing homelessness 
and able to access the resources at the campus that will help them end their homelessnes. 
The number of hotels that are willing to provide rooms for homeless individuals are limited and 
are several are currently contracting with the County for non congregate shelter.  The current 
location notified Maricopa County that it will begin the city of Phoenix process to demolish their 
building, making a new, nearby location essential. 
 
 
Hotel room rentals in Central Phoenix can range from $100 to over $400 per night. 
The rate of $70 per night per room  per room are comparable to the amount being charged by 
other hotels/motels the County is using for similar services.
$70 X 59 Rooms X 244 Nights = $1,007,720 Base + 12.57% Tax = $1,134,390.40
