From: Esa Ehmen-Krause, County Probation Officer
Report Title: Sysco Food Service, Inc. PO
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to execute a purchase order in the amount of $1,500,000 with Sysco Food Service, Inc., for the purchase of food and food service-related items for youth at Juvenile Hall for the period of January 1, 2024, through December 31, 2026.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This will be 100% funded by the department’s General Fund allocation.
BACKGROUND:
The Probation Department is mandated to provide youth at the John A. Davis Juvenile Hall with three meals per day. These meals must conform to the guidelines of Title 15. In addition to the state mandated guidelines, breakfast and lunch must meet the requirements of the Hunger Free Kids Act of 2010 (HFKA) to qualify for reimbursement through the National School Meals Program. The department published two public bids to procure food (bids 2305-653 and 2310-694) but unfortunately received no bids for service in the categories of packaged frozen/fresh bulk food and fresh bread. The purpose of this board order is to establish a Blanket Purchase Order with Sysco Food Service, Inc., to continue food delivery service to the John A. Davis juvenile hall.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If unapproved, the Probation Department would not be able to continue to purchase the necessary bulk food items, and feed youth at Juvenile Hall.
