26-024S Commercial Food Service Serving Line Equipment

Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City Independent School District (SCUC ISD) in Texas is soliciting proposals for commercial food service serving line equipment to replace existing cafeteria lines at Laura Ingalls Wilder Intermediate School and Barbara C. Jordan Intermediate School under RFP #26-024S, with proposals due August 4, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. through the Bonfire platform. The contract will be awarded to a single vendor based on greatest overall value rather than lowest price.

The scope encompasses removal of existing equipment, delivery, and installation of new commercial food service serving lines at each campus. Each campus requires two serving lines—one with five hot wells and one with four cold wells, each at least 6 inches deep with combined length not exceeding 26 feet. All equipment must comply with local electrical and plumbing codes (NEC, UEC, UPC, IPC, IEC), be manufactured by UL-listed or NRTL-recognized facilities, and carry NSF/ANSI 2 certification. The contractor must provide a minimum one-year warranty against defects and is responsible for all costs including removal, delivery, installation, permits, labor, materials, and supplies. Work must be completed by November 20, 2026, with contract start anticipated September 18, 2026 following Board approval on September 17.

Evaluation criteria are proposed pricing (40%), experience and qualifications (20%), and proposed plan (40%). Questions are due July 22, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. No pre-proposal meeting is required. Pricing terms are Net 30 days; offerors may propose prompt payment discounts such as 2%/10 days. Vendors must submit required bid forms including Proposal Form, Exceptions to Solicitation, Felony Conviction Notice, Conflict of Interest Questionnaire, TDA & EDGAR Certifications, and a current signed W-9 form. Federal compliance certifications address debarment verification, nondiscrimination, Buy America preferences, labor standards, environmental compliance, and telecommunications equipment restrictions. The District reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and may terminate the contract at any time without cause or penalty.
