3-C. FNS Middle School Serving Lines, B26092 Bid Form.xlsx

This is a bid form for the Cobb County School District's Food and Nutrition Services Department in Georgia, soliciting bids for the purchase, delivery, and installation of serving lines for middle school cafeterias. The solicitation, identified as IFB B26092, requests a turnkey solution comprising four (4) primary serving lines, with the district reserving the right to purchase additional serving lines on an as-needed basis throughout the contract term. The bid form itemizes ten line items across various counter configurations, including merchandiser counters, hot food counters with five wells, selectable hot/cold serving counters with two wells, cold food counters with frost tops, and solid top counters, each with corresponding food shields featuring LED lighting. All items are specified in stainless steel construction, with vendors given the optional opportunity to provide pricing for stainless steel with laminate overlay versions.

Responding vendors must indicate their required lead-time upon receipt of order and provide unit pricing for each item category across both the standard stainless steel option and the optional stainless steel with laminate overlay. The bid form includes a separate section requiring vendors to establish a fee structure for any additional related items that may be purchased during the award period, with vendors expected to identify their pricing source and markup methodology, such as percentage discounts below manufacturer's suggested retail price, published catalog pricing, or cost-plus arrangements. This structure allows the district flexibility to procure supplementary equipment as needed while maintaining consistent pricing terms established during the initial bidding process.
