RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Sheriff-Coroner, a purchase order amendment with Spike's Produce, to increase the payment limit by $150,000 to a new payment limit of $500,000 to provide food products for the preparation of inmate meals in the three County adult detention facilities for the period July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Increase of $150,000 to a $500,000 maximum purchase order amount. 100% County General Fund; Budgeted FY 15/16.
BACKGROUND:
Spike's Produce is a locally owned and operated small business that provides low-cost produce to all three adult detention facilities. These deliveries occur in the early morning, making it essential to have a low-cost, local solution. Other vendors could not meet the daily delivery service requirements necessary while maintaining low prices and high quality of fresh produce. This blanket purchase order will ensure timely delivery of essential food products for meals served at adult detention facilities.
