FOOD SERVICE CONTRACT

 

Chair Bryan reported the U. S. Department of Agriculture requires a food service contract with the District for five years. The District received one bid, Sodexho America, from the recent request for proposal. Thomas Harper, Financial Officer, stated the contract is the same agreement as last year except the District had to make amendments due to changes from the federal government. The contract is for a total of five years, which the Board must reaffirm each year. The last increase in meal prices was in 2009 but no increase will be made this year. Mr. Harper recommended Board approval as the contract has been reviewed by the Budgeting for Results Committee. Dr. Beeman also recommended approval of the contract.

 

Trustee Fox made the following motion with a second by Trustee Graves:

 

Motion to recommend the Board award the bid to Sodexho for a one-year contract renewable each year up to five

years as included in the Board packet.

 

Those voting in favor were Barbara Bryan, Mary Jo Fox, Lindy Graves, Teresa Stroebe, Connie Wardell, and Joyce Weber. The motion passed unanimously.
