RFQ-2026-249- Kitchen equipment repairs-2025-2026

The City of Yonkers is seeking a vendor to provide on-call kitchen equipment repair services for the Yonkers Fire Department across 14 station houses and an operations center. The Request for Quotation (RFQ-2026-249) solicits a 12-month contract for comprehensive repair and maintenance of kitchen appliances, including ice makers from Hoshizaki and stoves from manufacturers like Southbend, Garland, and Vulcan. The selected contractor must respond to service calls within 24 hours, perform repairs during normal work hours, and use replacement parts equal to or better than original components. The quotation requires pricing for 30 hours of labor at straight time rates, 20 service calls, and an estimated $4,000 parts budget with a percentage markup. Key qualifications include the ability to service diverse kitchen equipment across multiple locations, provide detailed invoicing with proof of pricing, and comply with New York State prevailing wage requirements. The proposal is due by July 25, 2025, with work expected to begin as soon as possible after contract award.

The contract has comprehensive insurance requirements, including workers' compensation, commercial general liability (minimum $1,000,000 per occurrence), commercial umbrella insurance ($2,000,000), automobile liability, and cyber liability insurance. Starting December 30, 2024, contractors must register with the New York State Department of Labor under Labor Law Section 220-i for public work projects. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned, the solicitation appears open to qualified vendors capable of meeting the technical and insurance requirements. The procurement is specific to Westchester County and the City of Yonkers, targeting vendors with expertise in commercial kitchen equipment repair. The estimated budget for parts is $4,000, with additional costs for labor and service calls, suggesting a total contract value potentially ranging between $10,000 and $20,000 depending on actual repair needs and frequency of service calls throughout the 12-month contract period.
