Agenda Text
The Board of County Commissioners is requested to authorize the County Manager to execute an amendment to the service contract for the provision of inmate meal preparation and food services at the Durham County Detention Facility. On May 13, 2016, RFP #16-021 was advertised and four bidders responded with proposals. Following submittal, a selection committee was formed consisting of key personnel from the Detention Center, Sheriff's Office Administration, the Nutrition Division of Public Health and assistance by the Purchasing Division of the Durham County Finance Department. A contract for the selected contractor, ABL now Summit Food Services LLC, was awarded by the Board of County Commissioners on August 26, 2016 for a one year term with four one year renewals.
The stated needs of the service contract include the daily preparation of and food services for breakfast, lunch and dinner for an approximate population of 500 inmates, with a potential capacity of 736 inmates. In addition, the service contract will include the preparation of and food services for staff meals, Monday through Friday, which includes breakfast and lunch at no cost to the County. Under this scope of services, the anticipated Fiscal Year 2017-18 contract amount was executed for $700,000; however, special dietary needs of the current population has driven costs beyond what was anticipated, resulting in this amendment.
This request increases the current year contract from $700,000 to $780,000, which will provide sufficient funding to close out the fiscal year. No additional appropriation is required for this contract amendment.
