FNS Blodgett Convention Ovens

Cherry Creek School District No. 5 (CCSD), located in Greenwood Village, Colorado, is seeking proposals for the procurement of four Blodgett convection ovens through RFP 25-011. The specific procurement involves acquiring Blodgett (Middleby) Model No. ZEPH-100-G DBL Zephaire Convection Ovens, which are gas-powered, double-deck, standard depth units to be delivered and installed at four distinct locations: Greenwood Elementary, Peakview Elementary, Summit Elementary, and the Student Nutrition Center in Centennial. The comprehensive contract requires vendors to handle complete delivery, uncrating, installation of new ovens, and uninstallation, haul away, and disposal of existing convection ovens. Key procurement dates include written inquiries due by December 10, 2024, with final proposal submissions required by December 17, 2024, at 2:00 PM Mountain Standard Time. Evaluation criteria will encompass price, past performance, financial stability, and technical capability, with the district seeking the most advantageous proposal that meets their specific requirements.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract will be firm fixed-price and potentially renewable for up to four additional one-year periods, with a total contract term not exceeding five years. CCSD is tax-exempt and a member of the cooperative educational purchasing council (CPEC), which represents approximately 70% of K-12 public school enrollment in Colorado. While no specific budget range is provided, the district has indicated flexibility to purchase more than the initial four ovens at the vendor's submitted pricing. Suppliers must provide detailed documentation including pricing information, company background, references, and a current IRS W-9. The ovens will be procured with consideration for specific logistical constraints, including varying delivery site requirements such as loading dock availability and doorway dimensions, which vendors must carefully address in their proposals.
