RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Sheriff-Coroner, a purchase order with Sysco Food Services in an amount not to exceed $3,000,000 to provide poultry products, equipment and supplies as needed within the three County detention facilities for the period October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2021.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% General Fund; Budgeted.
BACKGROUND:
Sysco Food Services provides food products including poultry, equipment and supplies needed to support the inmates feeding program at the three County detention facilities. This vendor is the only Northern California food services provider specializing in providing food products to detention facilities in bulk quantities. Their product pricing is through MedAssets contracts, in which the County has membership. The County benefits significantly by using Sysco in the form of financial incentives on both bulk purchases and manufacturer's rebates resulting in increased purchasing power to the department.
