Consider/Approve Central Cafeteria Food/Non-Food Bid for the 2014 – 2015 School Year |
|
|
Background Information: In addition to advertising, the Reelfoot Area Consortium solicited bids from Hardin’s-Sysco Memphis, Gordon Foodservice, Performance Foodservice, and U.S. Foodservice for the purchase of food and non-food items (specifications attached). All of these items are for the 2014 – 2015 school year and funds will be budgeted in the FY15 Central Cafeteria Fund for these purchases. The Consortium received bids for these purchases from Hardin’s-Sysco Memphis, Performance Foodservice, and U.S. Foodservice, and determined that the lowest and best bid meeting all specifications was submitted by Hardin’s-Sysco Memphis. The consortium approved the lowest and best bid meeting all specifications (summary attached) submitted as noted above; however, each individual school board must accept the bid.
Staff Recommendation: I concur with the recommendation set forth by the Reelfoot Area Consortium and Ms. Judy Denman, and recommend approval of the bid submitted by Hardin’s-Sysco Memphis. With this approval, it is the intent of the Board and management that no liability will be incurred, nor a purchase order issued, until the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2014. |
