3. Bid #2008-013 Large Kitchen Equipment Catalog Bid

Presenter: Richard Matkin

Purpose: A - Request decision - closure required

Time: No time limit

Description:

These bid will establish approved vendors and pricing for the purchase of large kitchen equipment for the Food and Nutritional Services (FANS) Department. This is the first year of a renewable bid.

This bid was formatted for a discount from manufacturer's catalog or price list. Freight will be added when pricing is requested and will be quoted separately. Some large kitchen equipment will need to be delivered, uncrated, set in place, and installed. Pricing for these services will be added to the cost of the manufacturer's discounted pricing.

To maximize ordering efficiency, staff recommends awarding all responsive bidders that offered a discount from manufacturer's catalog. Staff will evaluate and compare all costs associated with each purchase to include freight, uncrating, setting in place, and installation of large kitchen equipment as well as the discount being offered.

Tab sheet is attached.
