This is a MULTI-AWARD BID for Local Restaurants, Fast Food, Food Trucks and Catering. Prosper Independent School District (PISD) urges all vendors that provide these commodities to respond to this Bid/Proposal, even if you are a sole source of the product/service. PISD seeks to create a list of awarded vendors from which to obtain these goods. When PISD has a need for these goods, PISD will use the list of vendors as a primary source to obtain the goods. There is no obligation upon PISD to use any particular vendor, nor does an award guarantee any level of expenditure. PISD will choose the vendor(s) that best meet(s) our requirements for any purchase. ATTENTION PREVIOUSLY AWARDED VENDORS: To check on the maturity date of an existing contract or determine if you should submit a new response, please contact the Prosper ISD Purchasing Department via email: purchasing@prosper-isd.net, or call us at 945-678-0100. If your company has been awarded a contract on a Purchasing Cooperative, or a previously awarded PISD contract, you do NOT need to respond to this RFP. PLEASE NOTE: In order to become an approved vendor with Prosper ISD for any of the listed categories in this solicitation, you must respond to this RFP. ELECTRONIC BIDDING: Although PISD is legally required to accept paper bid submissions, we strongly encourage that bidders submit this bid electronically. Electronic bidding will eliminate errors, unnecessary work, and reduce paper. When filing this bid electronically, please do not send us a paper copy as the electronic version will prevail. Offline Submissions(Paper): If submitting your bid offline the response must be delivered in a SEALED ENVELOPE OR CARTON and received by the opening time and date listed. You must submit (1) hard copy bid marked "original", one and one (1) on a flash drive. Bids must be plainly marked with the BID NUMBER and TITLE above. Fax or e-mail bids will not be accepted. Vendors are solely responsible for the timely delivery of their paper bid response to the Purchasing Department. Responses received after the deadline will be rejected and shall be returned to the vendor unopened. Responses submitted by public or private carriers must arrive by the deadline. No provisions or exceptions are made for late delivery due to actions or consequences of third-party carriers. In the event the District’s offices are closed due to inclement weather or for any other unforeseen cause, the deadline for submission shall automatically be extended until the next operational business day, unless vendor is otherwise notified. The time of day shall remain the same. Prior to award, vendors may be required to submit additional information, which the District may deem necessary to further evaluate the vendor's qualifications. The District reserves the right to postpone the deadline through an addendum. Procurement results will become available after approval by the Board of Trustees. This is an extended opening RFP.
