RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Employment and Human Services Director, to execute the renewal of a blanket purchase order with Spike's Produce in an amount not to exceed $450,000, for the purchase of fresh produce for the Department's children's food program, with the term January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Budgeted from 50% ($225,000) State (California Department of Education) and 50% ($225,000) Federal funds (Administration for Children and Families). [CFDA No. 93.600].

BACKGROUND:

The Department utilizes this company to furnish fresh produce to provide daily food service to the 13 childcare centers operated by the Department. Fresh produce is vital to the well-being of the children at the centers.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, the County will not be able to make necessary purchases to operate the childcare centers.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The Employment & Human Services Department Community Services Bureau supports three of Contra Costa County’s community outcomes - Outcome 1: Children Ready for and Succeeding in School, Outcome 3: Families that are Economically Self-sufficient, and Outcome 4: Families that are Safe, Stable, and Nurturing. These outcomes are achieved by offering comprehensive services, including high quality early childhood education, nutrition, and health services to low-income children throughout Contra Costa County.
