Cabarrus County Department of Aging <br />MEMORANDUM <br />To: Cabarrus Couuty Board of Commissioners <br />From: Michael L. Murphy, CIRS-A ~~ <br />Date: August 28, 2007 <br />Subject: Food Vendor Contract for the LunchPlus Club program <br />Enclosed please fmd the contract with Varsity BBQ for the remainder of FY'2008 for catering services <br />for our LunchPlus Club program. We conducted an open bid because we were not successful in <br />negotiating a competitive rate from Canteen Vending Services, our ourrent vendor. Canteen Vending <br />Servieec requested a 57¢ per meal increase and justi£ed this request with the rising casts of fuel and food. <br />Considering that this price represerrts a 17% increase, the Departmerrt of Aging staff decided to conduct <br />the open bid in an effort to keep our vendors competitive. <br />Aa a result, two bids were received and Varsity BBQ submitted the lowest price of $3.60 per meat. <br />Canteen Vending Services submitted a price of $3.98 per meal, Atthough the price from Varsity BBQ <br />represents a 19¢ per meal increase from the current rate of $3.41 per meat, the Departmegt of Aging staff <br />considers Ibis 6% increase to be more realistic considering the increase in fuel and food costs. <br />The funding for this contract is currently included in our FY'2008 budget. No additional funding will be <br />necessary to implement this contract. The estimated difference in the total meal cost for the remainder of <br />FY'08 is approximately $8,060. The decrease in participation in the Lunchplus Club program crested by <br />moving rho Katmapotis program from the Cannon Memorial YMCA to the Lane Street Church of God <br />should offset this incrmse. <br />t~ behalf of the Cabarms Coumy Departmem of Aging, I respectftilly request approval of the attached <br />LunchPlus Club contract with Varsity BBQ for FY'2068. <br />Thank you for your time and consideration. Your continued support of aging services in Cabarrus Counit7y <br />is sincerely appreciated. <br />PO Box Tel.
