Municipal Marshals

The City of New Haven is soliciting proposals from currently appointed Connecticut state marshals to be placed on its annual Municipal Marshals List. Selected marshals will provide legally compliant service‑of‑process—including subpoenas, summonses, writs, foreclosure documents, tax‑warrant notices, and other official papers—to city departments, agencies, boards, commissions, and attorneys. Up to fifteen marshals may be selected; inclusion does not guarantee a minimum volume of work or compensation. Fees, mileage, and reimbursable expenses must adhere to statutory limits and the city’s fee schedule. Proposals must be submitted in two parts (technical and price) via the OpenGov e‑procurement portal by the stated deadline. Evaluation will consider municipal references, length of marshal service, and bilingual capability. • Eligible respondents: currently appointed Connecticut state marshals. • Scope: service of process for a wide range of legal and municipal documents, potentially including travel outside New Haven. • Compensation: statutory fee schedule only; no flat or premium fees allowed. • Submission: electronic only, two‑part proposal, deadline Oct 13 2026 11:00 am. • Evaluation criteria: references (33 %), years as marshal (33 %), bilingual ability (34 %). • Contract length: not explicitly stated; annual renewal anticipated.
