Commercial kitchen equipment maintenance services

Broward College has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB-2025-199-YR) for Commercial Kitchen Equipment Maintenance Services covering three campus locations: A. Hugh Adams Central Campus, North Campus, and Judson A. Samuels South Campus. The procurement seeks comprehensive maintenance services for refrigeration, cooking, and ice machine equipment, with specific requirements for preventative maintenance, cleaning, and repairs. Bidders must perform maintenance twice annually for refrigeration and cooking equipment, and three times annually for ice machines. The solicitation requires vendors to have a local repair facility in Broward, Miami-Dade, or Palm Beach County and mandates comprehensive background checks and insurance compliance. Evaluation criteria will focus on unit pricing for maintenance services at each campus, additional hourly rates for non-contract work, and percentage markup/discount for parts and materials. The bid was released on April 22, 2025, with responses due by May 22, 2025, at 2:30 p.m. ET, and vendors must provide manufacturer-authorized technicians with detailed qualifications.

The contract term is three years with potential renewal options for three additional one-year periods. Currently, Certified Professional Repair, Inc. holds the existing kitchen equipment service contract through March 31, 2025. The procurement does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Broward College reserves the right to award to multiple vendors, split awards, or reject all bids, with pricing remaining firm through the initial contract period. Potential price adjustments are limited to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) or 5%, whichever is less. While specific budget ranges are not disclosed, the solicitation indicates a comprehensive service contract covering maintenance for extensive kitchen equipment across three campus locations. Vendors must comply with various state and federal regulations and demonstrate technical expertise in commercial kitchen equipment maintenance.
