Food service line equipment

Port Huron Area School District is requesting bids on food service line equipment for Phoenix Academy, with bids due June 4, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. local time to the district's Administrative Offices in Port Huron, Michigan. All project labor must be performed at prevailing wage rates, a constraint that filters bidders' cost models.

The scope includes procurement and installation of utility counters, heated display merchandisers, cold food counters, a cashier stand, a refrigerated self-serve display case, and a mobile heated cabinet — one unit of each. Specifications reference branded manufacturers including Multiteria, Hatco, Structural Concepts, and FWE/Food Warming Equipment Co., with alternates requiring prior approval. Installation covers delivery coordination, removal and disposal of existing equipment, receipt, inspection, and placement of new serving lines on the existing curb, excluding field welds, modifications, or stair transport. The district will provide digital operating manuals, manufacturer training videos, and factory-representative training upon project completion.

Each proposal must include a bid security deposit of not less than five percent of the base bid amount in the form of a certified check, cashier's check, or bid bond. Bidders must submit sworn and notarized disclosures of familial relationships with school board members or district administration, certifications regarding Iran sanctions compliance per Michigan P.A. 517 of 2012, and criminal background check compliance.

A pre-bid meeting can be scheduled with Mary Kurkowski at (810) 984-2671. Bidding documents and specifications are available at www.phasd.us/about_us/business_services or through the purchasing department at 810.984.3101, extension 4031. Proposals will be publicly opened and read aloud following the submission deadline. Award determinations will be announced at a later date. The district reserves the right to reject any or all bids and award to other than the low bidder.
