SCOPE OF WORK New Mexico Military Institute is requesting bids for: . Two (2) Vulcan 60 Gallon Floor Mounted Tilting Commercial Steam Kettles (Model # K60GLT) . Two (2) Vulcan VG Series Modular Gas Tilting Braising Pans (Model #VG40) . All items bid shall be in new, first-class condition . Any bid received that does not address installation of the equipment items will not be considered. Installation may be subcontracted, so long as the installation is performed by a vendor authorized by the manufacturer. If a subcontractor is to be used for installation, Offerors must name the subcontractor being used, and indicate the total dollar amount of work to be performed by the subcontractor. NMMI holds a type-9 NTTC (Non-Taxable Transaction Certificate) and is exempt from paying tax on tangible items. NMMI does pay tax on services.

BRAND NAMES It is intended that bid specifications permit maximum competition. Brand names or model numbers, where used, are for reference as to standard of character, quality and/or operation and are not indicative of preference on the part of NMMI. Equal item(s) will be considered, provided the bid clearly describes the item by brand, model number, level of quality, and operation. Minor differences between brands are to be expected. The intent of this solicitation is to provide our kitchen staff with top of the line equipment that is built to last. Therefore, if Offerors are bidding a different brand than Vulcan, Offerors must provide descriptive literature that explains how the equipment proposed meets or exceeds the specs in attachments A & B. Failure to provide this information may disqualify your bid. Determination by NMMI as to what item(s) are equal shall be final and conclusive. When brand, model or other identification is not stated, it shall be understood that the bidder is quoting as specified. 4. TERMINATION Should either party be in material breach of any of its obligations or responsibilities under this Agreement and such breach is not remedied within sixty (60) days after receipt of written notice of default, then the non-defaulting party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, or such part of this Agreement as to which there has been delay or failure to properly perform, immediately by giving written notice of termination to the defaulting party. Either party hereto may terminate this Agreement at any time without cause and without penalty on thirty (30) days prior written notice to the other party. NMMI expressly retains all its rights and remedies provided by law in case of such breach, and no action by NMMI shall constitute a waiver of any such rights or remedies. In the event of termination for default, NMMI reserves the right to purchase its requirements elsewhere. 5 NMMI IFB 2020/21-07 5. AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS A contract shall be deemed executory only to the extent of appropriations available to each department for the purchase of such articles or services. NMMI’s extended obligations on those contracts that envision extended funding through successive fiscal periods shall be contingent upon actual appropriations for the following years. 6.
