RFP-HANO-260000002662-3 | ELEMENTARY FOOD SERVICE LINE

The Hanover-Horton School District is soliciting proposals under RFP-2027-002 for the procurement, delivery, and installation of elementary school serving line equipment. The project consists of two specific lines, one measuring 19 feet 6 inches and the other 10 feet 4 inches. Required equipment includes mobile POS/cashier utility counters, cold food counters with NSF-7 mechanical cold pans, hot food counters with sealed wells, and utility counters with heated and lighted food guards. All equipment must adhere to ADA-compliant body heights of 30 inches for customer-facing units and 34 inches for non-customer facing units. The scope of work encompasses uncreating, inspecting, delivering, interlocking units, and completing all necessary electrical and plumbing hookups. A minimum two-year parts and labor warranty is required for counters and guards. Bids are due by October 5, 2026, at 9:45 a.m., and must be submitted as original hard copies in sealed envelopes to the School Food Service Director. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with price as the primary factor, though service and delivery timelines and bidder qualifications will also be considered. Delivery and installation must be completed between March 26 and March 30, 2027. Compliance requirements include the Buy American provision, the Iran Economic Sanctions Act, and certifications regarding debarment, suspension, lobbying, and the Clean Air and Water Acts. Bidders must also provide a familial relationship disclosure and evidence of required insurance. The district reserves the right to make partial awards or award to multiple bidders if it serves the best interest of the school food authority.
