Double Deck Natural Gas Convection Ovens

The Santa Maria-Bonita School District is soliciting quotes for the purchase, delivery, and installation support of new VC44GD Series Double Deck Natural Gas Convection Ovens for three elementary school sites: Alvin, Arellanes, and Liberty. The required equipment must be new and unused, featuring 100,000 BTU ratings, solid state temperature controls ranging from 150 to 500 degrees Fahrenheit, and a 60-minute timer with an audible alarm. All units must be CSA design certified and NSF listed, complying with ANSZ2231A and NFPA No. 96 standards. Mandatory accessories include a gas restraining device and a flexible gas hose with a quick disconnect, while vendors must provide separate pricing for optional casters and simultaneous chain-driven doors. The vendor is responsible for white glove delivery, which includes uncrating, removal of packaging materials, and placement of the units. Additionally, the vendor must remove existing ovens and transport them to the SMBSD Warehouse. While District Maintenance and Operations staff will handle all utility connections, the vendor is required to perform the burn-off and test each oven to verify that all burners, ignition systems, and safety features operate according to manufacturer specifications. The lead time for delivery must not exceed five weeks from the issuance of the Purchase Order. Quotes must be itemized by equipment, options, accessories, and services, and any requests for alternate equal models must be submitted via the PlanetBids portal by September 17, 2026.
