RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Health Services Director, a Purchase Order with US Foods, Inc. doing business as U.S. Foodservice, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $1,000,000 for the purchase of all food categories, chemicals, paper products, kitchen supplies and equipment for Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Contra Costa Health Centers, for the period from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% funding is included in the Hospital Enterprise Fund I budget.
BACKGROUND:
CCRMC is replacing its primary food vendor Sysco and Food Service Partners with US Foods, Inc., which offers more food options at a lesser price and will allow existing staff to cook patient meals that Food Services currently provides.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this Purchase Order is not approved, CCRMC will continue to use Sysco as our primary food vendor which has a daily delivery delay. CCRMC will have to continue purchasing daily patient meals from Food Service Partners.
