RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee to execute, on behalf of the Sheriff-Coroner, a blanket purchase order with National Food Group, Inc., in an amount to not exceed $250,000, to provide frozen/dry food and related items as needed for the West County, Martinez and Marsh Creek detention facilities for the period November 1, 2016 through October 31, 2017.
FISCAL IMPACT:
$250,000 maximum. 100% County General Fund; Budgeted.
BACKGROUND:
The vendor provides the Office of the Sheriff with opportunity buys, enabling the department to take advantage of last minute deals from manufacturers for cut rates on high quality bulk food items, such as frozen green beans, potato products and poultry items as needed by the three detention facilities to support the feeding program requirements of the inmate population. This vendor has no strict minimums which also makes it more convenient for ordering.
