25-029 hobart electric dishwasher or equal

Floyd County Board of Commissioners is seeking sealed bids for Bid #25-029 to purchase and install a commercial Hobart Electric Dishwasher (CL44-BAS) or equivalent for the Floyd County Prison. The procurement requires a conveyor-type dishwasher capable of processing 202 racks per hour with a 90-gallon per hour final rinse and Energy Star Certification. Specific deliverables include complete removal and disposal of the existing dishwasher, delivery, installation, plumbing and electrical connections, startup validation, and implementation of a new unit with advanced features like WiFi connectivity, touchscreen controls, and a Correctional Package with security components. Bids are due by 11:00 AM on September 23, 2025, and installation must occur during normal business hours (Monday-Friday, 8:00am-5:00pm). Evaluation criteria will focus on conformity to specifications, with the county reserving the right to award to the most advantageous bidder considering price and other factors.

While no specific set-aside designations are mentioned, vendors must meet several compliance requirements, including providing a Certificate of Liability insurance of at least $500,000 and adhering to non-discrimination, drug-free workplace, and E-Verify regulations. Bidders are required to submit multiple compliance documents, including a Bidder's Declaration and Non-Discrimination Certificate. The procurement is tax-exempt, with Net 30 payment terms, and will be delivered to 329 Blacks Bluff Rd. SW in Rome, GA. Vendors must provide detailed pricing including dishwasher cost, labor, and shipping charges, with prices considered maximum and not subject to increases. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive requirements and specialized correctional facility needs suggest this is a significant municipal procurement with potential value likely in the mid-to-high five-figure range.
