The Hanover-Horton School District has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP-2027-002) for the procurement, delivery, and installation of elementary school serving line equipment. The scope of work includes furnishing all necessary supplies and materials for two serving lines, uncrating and inspecting the units, interlocking them using a stainless steel pin-and-latch mechanism, and performing all necessary electrical and plumbing connections to ensure the system is fully operational. The equipment must meet specific technical standards, including NSF-7 cold pans and ADA-compliant body heights of 30 inches for customer-facing surfaces. The district requires a minimum two-year parts and labor warranty on serving line counters and guards. Delivery and installation are scheduled to take place between March 26 and March 30, 2027. Bidders must submit an original signed hard copy of their proposal along with two additional copies in a sealed, opaque envelope to the School Food Service Director in Horton, Michigan, no later than October 5, 2026, at 9:45 a.m. Proposals will be evaluated based on price as the primary factor, alongside service and delivery timelines, technical quality, conformity to specifications, and vendor past performance. Submissions must include several mandatory certifications, such as the Buy American provision, Iran Economic Sanctions Act, Debarment and Suspension, Lobbying Certification, and a Familial Disclosure Form. Additionally, bidders are encouraged to provide pricing for alternates, such as solid surface countertop upgrades or the removal and disposal of existing equipment.
