Informal Quotes-Ice Maker/Dispenser

The City of Burleson in Johnson County, Texas, is conducting an informal quotes procurement for the purchase and installation of an ice maker/dispenser unit intended for field staff use. The solicitation seeks a commercial-grade ice maker capable of producing 300-400 pounds of ice daily with a storage capacity of approximately 180 pounds. Specific requirements include a machine that can dispense dice or half-dice cube ice directly into bags or coolers through touchless or lever-activated chutes, with maximum dimensional specifications of 42 inches wide by 36 inches deep by 82 inches high. The equipment must operate on standard 120V/20-amp electrical service, feature stainless steel or corrosion-resistant exterior construction, and include front-access service panels and multi-stage filtration systems. Vendor submissions must meet detailed technical specifications, including electrical requirements, construction materials, and integrated features such as oversized drain pans. The procurement is structured as a purchase-only opportunity with an informal quotes process, with response submissions due by December 3, 2025.

No specific set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or restrictions on vendor participation were identified in the provided documentation. The specification sheet does not indicate incumbent vendors, existing infrastructure constraints, or integration requirements beyond the technical specifications for the ice maker. While no explicit budget range or award value was provided, the procurement appears to be a targeted equipment acquisition for municipal field staff use. Warranty provisions are comprehensive, including five-year parts and labor coverage for the evaporator, five-year parts with three-year labor coverage for the compressor, and three-year parts and labor coverage for all other components. Optional features that vendors might include are built-in water valves, programmable on/off cycles, and antimicrobial protection. The procurement will be subject to the City of Burleson's standard purchase order terms and conditions unless an alternative contract method is specified.
