Student Nutrition Services Equipment Scrap Collector and Accessories Supplies

The Shawnee Mission School District in Kansas is seeking a vendor to provide, install, and configure a student nutrition services equipment scrap collector and accessories. The agency needs to replace an existing disposer system to improve waste management and dishwashing efficiency in their kitchen facility. The selected contractor must disconnect, remove, and properly dispose of the existing disposer before installing the new equipment. The scope of work requires extensive modification of the existing kitchen infrastructure to accommodate the new scrap collector. The contractor must reroute and modify water supply lines for the dish machine, drain quench, hose reel, and backflow preventer. Additional plumbing tasks include installing new shut-off valves and adding tees in the lines for a new hot and cold water supply to feed a pre-rinse faucet. Structural modifications to the dishwashing area are also required to fit the new system. The contractor must cut out a section of the soiled dish table and install a new section extending from the passthrough window to the dish machine. This process involves welding a new top plate adapter, welding the new table section to the existing passthrough section, polishing the welds, and sealing the table to the wall and dish machine. The installation phase requires mounting a dealer-provided collector on the new table and connecting it to the existing disposer drain or floor sink. The contractor must also connect the collector to the existing 208-volt, 3-phase electrical circuit and the newly installed water supply shut-offs. Final steps include installing a deck-mounted pre-rinse faucet, fabricating and installing a custom rack slide over the collector top, and performing post-installation testing to ensure proper operation. Bidders must meet specific eligibility rules, including being located onshore within the United States. All performance of the work must take place onsite at the facility in Shawnee Mission, Kansas. The agency will accept digital bid submissions sent via email or through their online portal. The agency is looking for proposals to determine the budget for this project. The resulting contract will cover a performance period of one year. Bidders must submit all questions regarding this opportunity no later than June 8, 2026.
