ITB 21-00-20 MSDEC Kitchen Hoods

The Medford School District 549C in Jackson County, Oregon is issuing an Invitation to Bid (ITB 21-00-20) for a firm fixed price contract to upgrade kitchen hood exhaust systems at the MSDEC kitchen. The procurement seeks qualified sources to replace three exhaust fans, replace one Type I hood, reconnect one Type II hood fan to existing ductwork, and install a new hood over a commercial dishwasher. Contractors must comply with Oregon prevailing wage rate requirements, including filing a public works bond, paying prevailing wages, and submitting certified payroll reports. The bid requires a 10% bid bond, and evaluation will consider whether the bidder is a local business. Key dates include an optional pre-bid site walk held on September 30, 2021, with final questions due by November 9, 2021. The last addendum will be posted on November 10, 2021, and bids are due no later than 2:00 pm on November 16, 2021. The district intends to issue the contract award on November 16, 2021.

The ITB does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or minority-owned businesses. No incumbent vendors are mentioned in the documentation. The contract requires the selected contractor to provide CaptiveAire equipment and make plumbing connections to the make-up air unit, which will be run through existing windows. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the contract will be awarded on a firm fixed price basis. The project will be funded by the Medford School District, and the contractor must be prepared to work within the district's specifications and technical requirements. The contract appears to be a public works project focused on upgrading kitchen infrastructure, with the successful bidder needing to demonstrate technical capability in kitchen exhaust system installation and compliance with local prevailing wage regulations.
