The School Board of Marion County, Florida seeks to award a qualified firm to provide materials, installation, and repair of water softener equipment for the Food and Nutrition Services Department to twelve (12) campus Cafeterias and additional locations as needed.
The awarded vendor is responsible for providing all necessary equipment, materials, and labor required for the installation and commissioning of the systems. Units will be installed in close proximity to the campus kitchen at each location. The site of installation at each campus is dependent on the campus structure.

Water softener equipment will be purchased from the awarded vendor by the Marion County School Board and will not be leased.
The water softener equipment will be integrated into existing plumbing by the awarded vendor. Electrical, carpentry services, and additional plumbing services required for installation of equipment will be performed by the District’s Maintenance Department; these services shall be coordinated through the Marion County School Board Food and Nutrition Services. Awarded vendor shall ensure all units and related work follows all applicable codes.
Once units are installed and functioning, the awarded vendor will sample and analyze water monthly at each site for twelve (12) months to monitor the effectiveness of the softening units; water analysis may be requested on an as-needed basis.
