RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Sheriff-Coroner, a purchase order with Spike's Produce in an amount not to exceed $400,000 to provide fresh produce and related items as needed for the detention facilities for the period February 1, 2022 through January 31, 2023.
FISCAL IMPACT:
$400,000 maximum. 100% County General Fund; Budgeted.
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.
